Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and now is the time to start preparing. The 2026 Shell Point Hurricane Guide has everything you need to head into the season with confidence. Inside you’ll find guidance on building your personal evacuation plan, what supplies to stock up on, how to plan for your pets and vehicles, and what to expect from Shell Point’s hurricane response. You’ll also find details on on-campus sheltering options, what to pack for a shelter stay, and how to stay informed before, during, and after a storm. View the Hurricane Guide here.
While there are many preparations to make, Floridians know that during storm season, you should keep your gas tank at least ½ full, have prescriptions filled regularly, and stock a few days’ worth of water and non-perishable food. Flashlights should have fresh batteries, and battery-powered radios should be nearby. The Shell Point Hurricane Preparation Guide will provide more helpful information.
To alleviate worry, keep loved ones informed. Share your evacuation plans and whereabouts, and after the storm passes, let them know you are safe.
