As the six-month hurricane season officially begins June 1, the Florida Division of Emergency Management will have surpassed 450 days responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“They would love to get back to doing tropical cyclones and wildfires and things like that, because we have been doing COVID a very long time, and we re ready to be doing something else,” division Director Kevin Guthrie said.
The hurricane season is projected to be above average for storms and got off to an early start as Tropical Storm Ana has already formed and dissipated,
