Preparing for the 2025 Hurricane Season
Accuweather's long-range forecasting team identified 12 analog years, or years in recent history with global weather patterns similar to those currently observed. By mapping where named storms made landfall during those years, we gain insight into where the greatest impacts may occur this hurricane season.
Preparing Your Home for the 2025 Hurricane Season: The Importance of Updated Insurance Reports
As Floridians, we understand that hurricane season is an inevitable part of our lives. The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, officially beginning on June 1 and ending on November 30, is projected to be particularly active. AccuWeather forecasts 13 to 18 named storms, with 7 to 10 strengthening into hurricanes, and 3 to 5 reaching Category 3 strength or higher. This activity is largely attributed to unusually warm sea-surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, which can fuel rapid storm intensification.
In the aftermath of the 2024 season, which saw devastating storms like Hurricanes Beryl, Helene, and Milton, it's crucial to ensure our homes are prepared to withstand future storms. One essential step in this preparation is updating your insurance reports, specifically the Four-Point and Wind Mitigation inspections.
Understanding Four-Point and Wind Mitigation Inspections
A Four-Point Inspection focuses on four critical areas of your home:
Roofing: Evaluates the condition and age of your roof, ensuring it can withstand hurricane-force winds.
Electrical System: Inspects wiring, panels, and outlets to prevent fire hazards during storms.
Plumbing: Checks pipes, fixtures, and connections to prevent leaks and water damage.
HVAC System: Assesses heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units for optimal performance.
This inspection is often required by insurance companies to qualify for coverage, especially for older homes. It can also provide some peace of mind, knowing your home meets modern safety standards.
A Wind Mitigation Inspection, on the other hand, identifies features of your home that reduce damage from hurricanes. It can lead to significant insurance premium discounts by highlighting wind-resistant features such as:
Roof shape and materials
Window and door protections
Wall construction types
Garage door strength

The Benefits of Updating Your Reports
Updating your Four-Point and Wind Mitigation reports offers several advantages:
Insurance Savings: Many insurers offer discounts for homes with wind-resistant features. An updated Wind Mitigation report can lead to substantial savings on your premiums.
Enhanced Safety: Identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in your home's structure can protect your family and possessions during storms.
Increased Property Value: Homes equipped with hurricane-resistant features are more attractive to buyers, potentially boosting your property's market value.
