June 1 marked the dreaded beginning of “hurricane season,” an event that people in the area will take more seriously this year thanks to [Superstorm Sandy](/water-level-rising-quickly-as-high-tide-and-hurricane-sandy-near/). A Wall Street Journal [report](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324310104578511682573930630.html?mod=WSJ%5FNY%5FNews%5FLEFTTopStories&ref=bklyner.com) cited a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that predicts 2013 will be an “active or extremely active” hurricane season. The study lists a 70 percent chance that the season will see 13-20 named storms and three to six major hurricanes.

With news that grim, it is important that everyone prepare themselves for hurricane season. The [National Hurricane Center](http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/prepare/?ref=bklyner.com) (NHC) prepared a [7-part YouTube series](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq%5F1PwKuRPg&cc%5Fload%5Fpolicy=1&list=PL63A9138A2047B1A4&ref=bklyner.com), available in both English and Spanish, that provides vital step-by-step information on how to best prepare for hurricane season.

The NHC also includes a link to their [Tropical Cyclone Preparedness](http://www.nws.noaa.gov/os/hurricane/resources/TropicalCyclones11.pdf?ref=bklyner.com) guide and reminds people that the most important thing to remember in the event of a hurricane is to use common sense.

FEMA, through <ready.gov>, put together [their own hurricane guide](http://www.ready.gov/hurricanes?ref=bklyner.com) that includes tips for preparing for storms. The Red Cross also has their own guide that [includes a thorough checklist](http://www.redcross.org/prepare/disaster/hurricane?ref=bklyner.com) of all supplies needed in the event of another major storm.

Here at Sheepshead Bites we hope everyone stays prepared and stays safe. We encourage our readers to review and bookmark these resource guides for future reference.
