Tropical Storms and Hurricanes Ahead

According to the National Hurricane Center, the 2024 hurricane season peaks around September 10th.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) encourages everyone to be better prepared for the worst situations, understand the risks of hurricanes, and begin preparations now.

Hurricanes and other severe weather systems can impact communities with heavy rain, flooding, and tornadoes. Don’t wait! Now is the time to prepare your customers, employees, and infrastructure for hurricane season and severe weather. PERC’s Propane and Weather Safety webpage has helpful information that you can give your customers so they better understand how to safely navigate extreme weather events. You can share preparedness and safety information through your company website and customer communications, such as e-mails, receipts, mailings, and social media outlets.

As always, we encourage our members to plan ahead with their suppliers in case of supply disruptions, infrastructure issues, and high-demand scenarios.
