Direct hurricane hits on Florida FBOs are rare, but all of them prepare.

The planning kicks off in spring, before the June through November hurricane season officially begins, and starts with that time-honored aviation document: the checklist.

Concurrently, based tenants get an annual letter reminding them of the season and the need to check insurance and have an aircraft evacuation plan. Some FBOs maintain a tenant hurricane call list.
