2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season

June 1 – November 30

 

Fort Bend County Homeland Security & Emergency Management has shifted our focus back to Preparing for Hurricane Season which will be here before we know it. We will be updating our website and social media outlets with preparedness materials, videos and updates as we receive them from The National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). We are dedicated to being as prepared as possible but that includes helping the residents of Fort Bend County to be prepared as well. We have included some information below in regards to the upcoming 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season. 

“Colorado State University Tropical Meteorology Project Released this years forecast which included a total of 16 named storms, eight hurricanes and four major hurricanes that are expected this season. This is above the 30-year average of 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes.”
