Moving during hurricane season in Volusia County
Short answer: Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 (NOAA[1]). If you're moving in Volusia County during those months, keep a flexible date, watch the forecast a week out, and pack in waterproof containers so a storm delay doesn't ruin anything.
Should I avoid moving during hurricane season?
You don't need to avoid it. Most of the season has no storm threat to our coast on any given week. But afternoon thunderstorms are near-daily in summer, so plan loading for mornings.
What if a storm is forecast for my moving week?
- Follow guidance from the National Hurricane Center and Volusia County Emergency Management.
- Call your truck rental or movers early. Their schedules fill fast before a storm.
- Text us to extend your bin rental. During an active storm warning we pause deliveries and pickups, and we don't charge extra weeks for storm delays.
Why do plastic bins help in storm season?
Closed bins keep out rain blowing into an open truck or garage, and they don't collapse if they get wet. Cardboard sitting in a damp garage for a week can soften and grow mildew.
