Stuart Hurricane Preparedness Guide for 2024 Season

Stuart residents should finalize hurricane preparedness plans before the Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and runs through November 30. While hurricanes can form at any time during this period, the season peaks around September 10.

Hurricanes bring counterclockwise winds, heavy rain, tornadoes, and storm surge that causes coastal flooding. The National Hurricane Center in Miami provides real-time updates and forecasts.

Residents should prepare their homes and businesses, stock supplies, and know how to receive emergency alerts before a storm strikes. Property damage and service disruptions to water, telephone, and electricity can last days or weeks after a hurricane passes.
