The Calm Before the Chaos; Preparing For Hurricane Season
from Practical Prepping Podcast · host Mark & Krista Lawley
The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is officially underway — and while forecasts call for 12 to 15 named storms, 5 to 9 hurricanes, and up to 3 major storms, there’s one number that matters most: one. It only takes one storm making landfall in your community to turn an ordinary week into a life‑changing event. In this episode, we break down what you need to know, and what you need to do, before the peak of hurricane season arrives. From understanding your local evacuation zone to reviewing your insurance coverage, building a family emergency plan, and assembling a supply kit that can sustain you for at least seven days, we walk through practical, realistic preparation steps that make a real difference. You’ll also hear why waiting until there’s a cone on the forecast map is one of the biggest mistakes people make, and why preparing as if help may not arrive for a week isn’t extreme, it’s smart. Whether you live in a coastal evacuation zone, a low‑lying area, or simply want peace of mind this season, this episode will help you prepare calmly and confidently, before the shelves empty, the gas lines form, and the winds begin to rise. Don’t wait for the warning. Start preparing now.Mentioned in this episode: Featured Items Page - LED Lanterns, NOAA Weather Radio If you find value in what we do, if you've learned something new, gotten an idea for something you need to do, been entertained, or just like out Southern charm, would you be willing to give back a little?You can do that one of several ways.
