Hurricane FAQ
What should a hurricane family communication plan include?
Include an out-of-area contact, local contact, meeting place, evacuation destination, pet plan, medical notes, school or work pickup rules, and check-in times.
Why use an out-of-area contact during a hurricane?
Local calls and roads can be disrupted. An out-of-area contact can help family members relay status when everyone cannot reach each other directly.
What is HurricaneHub's direct answer for people in the risk zone?
Check your official local warning first, compare it with the current NHC storm position, then decide whether your home, route, or medical needs require earlier action than the county deadline.
How often should hurricane data refresh?
NHC advisories usually update on a cycle set by the storm situation, while NWS alerts can change at any time. HurricaneHub caches public feeds for short windows to reduce latency without hiding official updates.
Is this a replacement for emergency management orders?
No. HurricaneHub summarizes official data for decision support, but evacuation orders, shelter rules, road closures, and rescue instructions come from local emergency management and the National Weather Service.
