"We've been in a very active period since 2017. In fact, we've had 25 U.S. hurricane landfalls during that time, 11 ryan strome of those being majors. So we are expecting another active hurricane season, this hurricane season. weather vancouver But we don't know where those storms are gonna form, where they're gonna go, who they might hit. So the key message is, is to be prepared. Start thinking about the preparedness for you and your family. Find out if you live in an evacuation zone. It's really best to do that before a storm forms. It really takes the stress out of the situation of having to be prepared, having to get your family ready if you know what you're going to do and have that plan."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Daniel Brown, Branch Chief, Hurricane Specialist Unit, National Hurricane Center:

"Yeah, these storms are being, they're fueled by warm ocean water, so we see those water temperatures rise across especially the western part of the basin, like the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf, the western Atlantic. It's those areas where we start to see this very warm, almost like bath water, water temperatures as we get toward the peak of the hurricane season, which is August, September and October. And it's during that time of year that we see these storms use that fuel if the upper level conditions are right. They can use that fuel to really rapidly strengthen. We saw that with Milton last year. We saw all that with Helene. And then those storms, if they make landfall, could be very devastating to communities."

"It doesn't take a strong storm to produce a lot of impacts. We've seen tropical storms produce heavy rainfall, lots of fatalities, lots of damage. So we really have to take each storm seriously. Each storm is different. Some storms bring more rain, some bring more wind, some more storm surge. So each storm is difference. We have to really be listening to your local officials and understand what the hazards that storm may bring."
