Right Choice Construction CEO and general contractor Danielle Wright keeps a close watch on weather-related threats and hurricane season 2023 preparedness.
Welcome to Development with Danielle©, My Weekly “Women in Construction” Blog!
I can’t say enough about hurricane season 2023 preparedness all the way through November this year. During these uncertain weather-related times, an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure. What can contractors, clients, and the community do to be more weather aware—and prepared?
I, like most Houston-area construction firms, am keeping an eye on tropical disturbances and potential storms and flooding that might impact the greater metroplex and beyond. My go-to’s for news are listed below and might help others navigate inclement weather.
Hurricane Harvey, 2017
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—NOAA
What does NOAA have to say about the outlook during August? According to The Weather Channel:
“Forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center now believe that the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season will be more active than average, according to their final update for the year.”
