The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has begun, and early forecasts indicate now is the time to prepare. According to experts, Florida is likely to face an active season. In fact, there’s a 92% chance that our state will experience at least one named storm this year. To help you and your families stay safe, the City of Daytona Beach created a 2025 Hurricane Preparedness Guide. The 22-page booklet includes information on receiving emergency notifications, safety tips, evacuation zone information, a removable supply checklist with important phone numbers and more. A limited number of guides will be printed and distributed to residents. Please take time to review it and begin making any necessary preparations.
