Hurricane Season Is Here. Are You Ready?

In South Florida, hurricane preparedness is not something to put off until a storm is in the forecast. A little planning today can save time, money, and stress when severe weather threatens our community.

That’s why the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce created the 2026 Community Hurricane Preparedness Guide, a comprehensive resource designed to help residents and businesses prepare before a storm, navigate challenges during an emergency, and recover more quickly afterward.

This guide goes beyond basic preparedness checklists. It connects you with trusted local businesses and organizations that can help protect your property, support your family, and keep your business operating throughout hurricane season.

Inside, you’ll find resources for impact windows, doors, shutters, roofing inspections, emergency accommodations, restoration and cleanup services, air conditioning repair, medical and dental care, veterinary services, insurance guidance, technology and data protection, community support programs, and much more. You’ll also find important emergency contacts and information from Florida Power & Light, Waste Management, Palm Beach County Emergency Management, and other agencies that play a critical role before and after a storm.

Need a roof inspection before hurricane season reaches its peak? Looking for a pet friendly hotel if an evacuation becomes necessary? Wondering how to protect your business data and maintain operations during a power outage? Trying to understand whether your insurance policy covers flood damage? The answers are all in this guide.

The Chamber is especially grateful to the many member businesses and organizations that contributed their expertise and resources, including Aloft Delray Beach, Embassy Suites Boca Raton, Coastal Supply Company, Lifetime Exteriors, Apex Solar & Roofing, Servpro of South Palm Beach, 360 Fire and Flood, Voda Cleaning & Restoration, Florida Cooling Group, Pure Tek Air, Delray Medical & Dental, Spodak Dental Group, Paws Veterinary Clinic, Plastridge Insurance, TMD Technology Services, The Libella Foundation, Delray Beach Community Land Trust, and the Constitutional Tax Collector Serving Palm Beach County.

Whether you are a homeowner, renter, seasonal resident, business owner, or property manager, this guide was created with you in mind. Having the right information before a storm arrives can make all the difference when it comes to protecting what matters most.
