Editorial Policy
How we write, source, and update preparedness content.
Last reviewed: May 8, 2026
Independent positioning
Hurricane Prep Guide is an independent informational resource and not a government alert authority.
Source hierarchy
Official NOAA, NHC, NWS, FEMA, and local emergency management guidance takes priority.
Safety over hype
We avoid fear tactics and focus on practical actions that improve household safety.
Affiliate transparency
Some links are sponsored. We clearly disclose this and do not guarantee outcomes.
Corrections and updates
We update pages when guidance changes, and we remove unclear or outdated recommendations.
