Florida Social Media Accounts to Follow for Hurricane Information

We in Florida are certainly no strangers to hurricanes. To help, we’ve developed this primer for our fellow Floridians on who to follow on social media and state web pages you need to know to prepare and react when a hurricane hits your area.

Here are two resources all Floridans should have:

•  Alert all family members outside of Florida or your area that should an event occur, you’ll use the Red Cross’ Safe & Well portal. (Also note: It’s easier to text someone during/after an event than call them.)

•  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Hurricane Center all live maps of all events in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
