Be Prepared for Hurricane Season

Promote Healthy Indoor Air and Safe Flood Recovery

From the EPA

The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season began June 1, and forecasters predict a range of 12 to 17 total named storms, including 1 to 4 major hurricanes.

After a hurricane, there are many things to consider. Is my home safe to enter? How do I save and clean up my possessions? How can I protect myself and my family from flood hazards?

Flooding, storm surge, and wind damage from hurricanes can introduce new hazards indoors and worsen existing ones. Flood waters can carry biological and chemical contaminants indoors, and standing water and wet materials can become a breeding ground for viruses, bacteria and mold. Exposure to these contaminants can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood.

EPA’s Flooded Homes website features short videos that provide step-by-step guidance on how to safely clean up your home. You can also search for answers to many of your important questions about flooded homes using the webpage’s search bar and by visiting the Frequent Questions about Flooded Homes.

Our Flooded Homes Website is now also available in Spanish
