A Quiet Hurricane Season Is the One That Catches South Florida Fleets Off Guard

South Florida Reporter

NOAA forecasts a below-average hurricane season, with 7–13 named storms and 2–6 hurricanes, due to a strong El Niño. However, the peak risk period from mid-August to mid-October remains critical. Even a single storm could disrupt South Florida’s infrastructure if preparedness measures are neglected.

Businesses are urged to review continuity plans and test emergency protocols to avoid vulnerabilities during this quieter-than-usual season.

Why this matters to you: On July 1, you were briefed on the quieter hurricane outlook. This update reinforces the urgency of auditing grid resilience and outage management systems before peak season. Proactive steps now could prevent service disruptions and protect customer trust.
