Preparing for Hurricane Season

Hurricane season has officially started, and this year is expected to be more active than usual. The season runs from June 1 through November 30, but the tropics are historically most active from mid-August through October. Forecasters predict 12 to 19 named storms, six to 10 hurricanes and three to five major hurricanes, which is a Category 3 or higher.

With hurricane season in full swing, it’s important to make sure your business is prepared before it’s too late. By taking the proper precautions, you can mitigate damage and downtime should you find yourself in the path of a hurricane. At Breaux Petroleum, we offer several services to help you stay proactive and prepared before a storm hits:
