Hurricane season has officially begun. Starting today, millions of homeowners face months of storm risk - and the heavy costs that come after a storm hits. The newly released 175-page guide equips homeowners to prepare before the storm hits and safeguards their finances afterward.

The Hurricane Survival Guide, written by former Air Force meteorologist Bill Combes, walks homeowners through every step of a storm: how to prepare, how to stay safe, and how to recover without losing thousands of dollars in the process. Bill isn't just writing from a desk. As a former Air Force meteorologist, he spent years tracking dangerous weather before most people knew it was coming. He also built a storm-mapping software used by thousands of roofing companies - which means he has seen exactly how the repair and storm claims business works after a storm, from the inside. That's the part most homeowners never see, and it's the part that costs them the most. Bill wrote this guide to put that knowledge in your hands, so you can prepare with confidence and protect your money when others are getting taken advantage of.

Unlike typical guides, this one continues beyond the storm's end. It shows families how to avoid the two things that drain bank accounts after a hurricane: contractor scams and unfair insurance tactics. It is a chapter by chapter guide covering much more than your typical guides produced. The guide is 11 full chapters and 175 pages of what to do before and after the storm hits.

"Most guides stop the day the storm passes. That's exactly when families lose the most money," said Combes. "If you prepare the right way before the storm, you protect your home and your wallet for months afterward."

State officials are urging people to act early for the same reason. Florida Chief Financial Officer and State Fire Marshal Blaise Ingoglia said it plainly when he launched the state's 2026 preparedness push in May:

"The more prepared we are upfront, the better off we'll be on the back end, and the less it will cost on the back end. We cannot sit back and hope. We have to prepare."

• Before the storm: simple plans that hold up under pressure, home protection steps, and supply lists that go beyond a basic kit including documenting everything.
• During the storm: how to stay safe, stay in touch when the power fails, and take phone photos the right way to back up an insurance claim and get your home back to full working order.
• After the storm: how to return home safely, spot hidden damage, manage contractors, avoid scams, and handle tough insurance claims. It is a detailed playbook covering all aspects of the recovery process that many homeowners just don't have knowledge of.

The hardest part of a hurricane often comes weeks later - when the cleanup bills, the contractors, and the insurance fights begin. The guide is built to help families through that part, not just the storm itself.

The Hurricane Survival Guide is available now as an instant digital download. Readers can immediately implement its strategies before the first storm develops. Even one tip - a single photo taken the right way, or one bad contractor turned away - can save a family thousands of dollars.

Act now before any warnings are issued. By the time a storm has a name, store shelves are empty and contractors are booked. If you are still unsure, take our Hurricane Survival Quiz and we will send you a personalized report.
