After a relatively quiet start to the 2023 hurricane season, the tropics are heating up as we inch closer to the statistical height of the Atlantic Basin hurricane season—Sept. 10. Aug. 29 marked the 18th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the second anniversary of Ida. And now with the impact from Hurricane Idalia, it should be a reminder to businesses in other hurricane-prone areas to be prudent in reassessing their preparedness plans as well. As we approach the final stretch of the summer, a drastic increase in wildfires and rapidly increasing tropical weather patterns should garner everyone's full attention.
