Hurricane Season Preparedness

By Dan Short, Branch Manager, Cadogan Tate Miami

As the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season gets underway, preparation remains the best defense against the unexpected. While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has forecast a below-normal season, it only takes one storm making landfall to create significant disruption. Officially running from June 1 through November 30, the Atlantic hurricane season typically reaches its peak between late August and September, making now the ideal time to establish a preparedness plan rather than waiting until a storm is imminent.

At Cadogan Tate Miami, we are actively monitoring updates from the National Hurricane Center throughout the season and stand ready to assist clients across Florida and the Caribbean at a moment’s notice. Whether a storm is days away or an evacuation order has been issued, our experienced teams can mobilize quickly to help protect your valuable collections and possessions. From emergency evacuation preparation and the scheduled seasonal removal of valuable indoor and outdoor assets to the careful reinstallation of those items once conditions are safe, every service is delivered with the precision, discretion, and care our clients expect.

Our commitment to preparedness extends beyond transportation and logistics. Cadogan Tate offers fixed pricing throughout the hurricane season, providing clients with confidence when planning for emergency services, while reduced off-season pricing for empty crates and packing materials makes it easier to prepare well in advance. Our climate-controlled facilities, strategically located to serve clients throughout Florida—from the Panhandle to South Florida—as well as the Caribbean, feature advanced security systems, private viewing rooms, and state-of-the-art construction designed to provide exceptional protection against hurricanes, tropical cyclones, and other natural disasters.

Whether you are safeguarding a private art collection, fine furnishings, antiques, wine, archives, or other treasured possessions, Cadogan Tate is here to ensure your property is protected before, during, and after a storm. If you would like to learn more about our hurricane preparedness services or discuss our emergency evacuation schedule, please contact our Miami team at your convenience. No matter how early you begin planning—or how little notice a storm provides—Cadogan Tate is prepared to help you weather hurricane season with confidence.
