Natural catastrophes and other disasters can strike with little or no warning. Being prepared can help keep your family and home safe. NOAA is predicting an "above normal hurricane" season with a likelihood of 18 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 8 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), and 4 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher). For the Caribbean there is a 54% chance of at least one major hurricane passing through the Basin.
