Peak hurricane season is upon us
09/05/2024
Hurricane Beryl making landfall early in the season reminded us we must remain ready for anything. With experts continuing to forecast above average activity and the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season occurring from late August through September, take the time now to review your preparedness plans.
“As activity is picking up in the Atlantic, it is vital that we don’t get complacent and let our guard down entering peak hurricane season,” said Louie Dabdoub, vice president of incident response. “We continue to review our plans and ensure we are ready - the way we prepare dictates how we respond.”

We prepare for the worst of what Mother Nature might bring, because our customers live in areas prone to some of the most severe weather in the country. Staying storm ready is a full-time job, 24/7, 365 days a year. When there’s a hurricane threat, Entergy is ready to mobilize and act.
