How we track the tropics, notify clients, and respond before and after a named storm threatens Southwest Florida.
Hurricane season in Southwest Florida means keeping one eye on the tropics from June through November, whether or not anything is currently headed our way. Most systems that get a name never come near Fort Myers, Cape Coral, or Punta Gorda — but we watch every one of them anyway, because the ones that do matter need a head start, not a scramble.
Once hurricane season opens, our team follows every developing system in the Atlantic and Gulf, and we share links to official tracking sources on our Facebook page so our followers can watch along with us. It’s a habit, not a reaction — by the time a storm is worth worrying about, we’ve usually already been tracking it for days.
If a named storm’s projected path could bring it near our service area, that’s the trigger. We notify every client we have a storm agreement with, confirm we’re activating their storm protocol, and let them know what to expect and when. No one is left wondering whether their home is being looked after — they hear it from us first.
Once local authorities say it’s safe to be back on the roads, we go straight to every client property on our list.
Between the pre-storm prep and the post-storm inspection, our clients aren’t left guessing. We follow up with every owner once their property has been checked, and we don’t consider a storm closed out until every client on our list has heard from us. This is the exact process we followed during Hurricane Ian — you can see the full timeline, plus how we prepare client homes year-round, on our Hurricane Preparation page.
Let's build your hurricane preparation plan before this season's next named storm is being tracked.
