Prepare for the upcoming storm season at Hurricane Preparedness Seminar
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – The first day of hurricane season is just over a week away. Officials are taking lessons learned from Hurricane Michael to help residents protect their homes, families, and businesses. Whether you've lived in Bay County your entire life or you're new to the area, you can never be too prepared. 'Everybody thinks they know hurricanes, but as we all know, the last big one was in 2018. So, everybody kind of needs to be reminded what to do,' Hutt Insurance Agency President Trey Hutt said. 'If you get too close to June 1st, everybody gets a little nervous, and you hit the news cycle. But then, as you get into the meat of hurricane season later into August, September, October, things are awfully busy, and you don't want to wait until there's a hurricane in the box to start making a plan.' The Bay County Chamber of Commerce wants to help, hosting a hurricane preparedness seminar. Multi-agency effort assist in structure fire in DeFuniak Springs The first seminar last year was so popular, the chamber hosted a second just a few days after. This year's event will be on Friday, June 6th, at FSU Panama City. It's a one-stop shop for hurricane readiness. 'There's the predictive forecast, the type of coverage of insurance that you should have. Many people during Hurricane Michael didn't know how important coverage is. They will learn about how to be prepared. They'll learn about evacuation procedures and what to do to prepare before, during, and after the storm,' Bay County Chamber of Commerce Director of Foundation Lisa Moore said. Local law enforcement and emergency services officials will be providing safety tips. This year will also feature vendors that help residents prepare for and recover from natural disasters. The event is open to the entire community. You must be pre-registered to attend the seminar. For more information, click here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
