Hurricane Season is here

Atlantic hurricane season spans from June 1st to November 30th. This is the time of year when tropical storms and hurricanes form across the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico.

Experts are predicting a slower year than average due to El Niño, but ShelterBox still needs to be prepared. It only takes one hurricane making landfall to cause a disaster that needs our support.

Read more about how ShelterBox prepares for hurricane season, and how you can help, in our latest blog.
