What to Expect This Hurricane Season?

Heading into the 2026 season, forecasters expect El Niño conditions to develop across the Pacific Ocean. El Niños are known to lead to increased wind shear across the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf, which creates a more hostile environment for tropical cyclone organization. Preseason outlooks suggest activity across the basin could be more subdued than average.

For context, during the 2025 season, 13 named storms formed (which is near the long-term average), but no hurricanes made direct landfall in the United States, making it a relatively quiet year for the Southeast.

However, even with a less active forecast, hope is not a strategy. Climatologically, the first named storm of the Atlantic season typically forms around June 20, while the first hurricane usually develops by mid-August. Now is the time to prepare.

What’s in the 2026 Hurricane Checklist?

Our checklist is designed specifically for compliance-heavy small to medium-sized businesses, local municipalities, and professional SMBs.

Here’s a quick look at what it covers:

🔒 Securing the “Silent Engine”: Verifying backup integrity across servers, cloud repositories (Dropsuite/SharePoint), and local systems.
💼 Physical Facility Protection: Moving localized hardware away from flood risks and testing battery run-times on your Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).
📱 Clear Communication Paths: Leveraging your cloud-first VoIP and CX routing to maintain a seamless connection with your customers even if your building loses power.
🚗 Team Safety & Remote Access: Securing employee remote-work configurations (Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti, and secure VPNs) ahead of time.
🔄 Seamless Recovery: Post-storm steps to safely reboot infrastructure without risking data corruption or power surges.

Whether you are preparing for a brief power outage or a full coastal evacuation, this guide will help you protect your people, your data, and your operations.
