Learn how be prepared, and how to respond to a hurricane watch or warning

June through August is the hurricane season. Therefore, the American Red Cross of Massachusetts Bay recommends that the community become familiar with hurricane watch and warning messages and plan ahead to reduce the chances of injury or major property damage. A hurricane watch is issued when weather conditions are favorable for a hurricane to impact a specific geographic area within 36 hours. A warning is issued when hurricane conditions are expected within 24 hours or less.
