The start of the season is a reminder to take the necessary precautions to be adequately prepared for the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Despite popular belief, hurricanes and tropical storms can impact the entire Commonwealth not just coastal regions. MEMA urges residents to know your evacuation zone, make an emergency plan, build an emergency kit, and to stay informed.
