The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season is officially underway, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts it’ll be “above normal”. Experts say the season, which runs from June 1 – November 30, will likely have as many as 19 named storms; of those, 6-10 are expected to become hurricanes, with 3-5 likely becoming major storms.

At Ferrellgas, we’re committed to creating a safe environment for our employee-owners, our customers, and the communities we serve. That’s why we’re proud to provide propane, a versatile, portable, reliable fuel, to people across the country. Propane is a key energy source when it comes to disaster relief. For example, you can use propane to power a generator or cook a meal for your family outside on your gas grill when the power is out. Propane can provide temporary heat, and it can fuel mobile disaster relief sites, pop-up medical stations, and even portable laundry equipment. It can offer comfort and safety following a natural disaster when other fuels can’t.

With hurricane season underway, no matter where you live, we encourage you to come up with a disaster response plan. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers tips on its website to develop a plan that makes sense for you and your loved ones.

FEMA also published these tips on how to put together an emergency kit. In addition to making sure you have food, water, a flashlight and first aid supplies, the agency suggests packing any medication, baby essentials, and pet-related items you may need if you must evacuate.

Customers who rely on propane to power their homes and businesses need to take a few additional steps when it comes to hurricane preparedness. You can find those propane safety tips here on our website.

A little preparation goes a long way when it comes to preparing for natural disasters. We hope you and your loved ones stay safe this hurricane season.
