High winds, flooding, storm surges and heavy rain – these are some of the dangers that come with a hurricane when it roars into a coastal community.

Thankfully, modern technology allows us to predict the path of these severe storms and plan accordingly to protect people and property. In late August 2023, for example, the onset of Hurricane Idalia prompted evacuation orders in more than 20 counties in western and central Florida.

Earlier that same month, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) upgraded its forecast for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season (June 1 to November 30) from near-normal to a revised above-normal level of activity – thanks to warmer than expected Atlantic ocean surface temperatures.

NOAA advises everyone along the Atlantic seaboard and Gulf Coast to have a hurricane escape plan and be ready to put it into motion.

If you are vacationing or travelling to a vulnerable area during hurricane season, quick evacuation may be necessary.

A private jet charter could be your best and fastest solution to avoid the nightmare of congested roads and over-booked or cancelled commercial flights. After all, private jets operate when and where you need them and they can accommodate your entire family – including pets!
