Hurricane season is now underway with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration expecting a below normal Atlantic season, but eight to 14 named storms are predicted with up to three reaching Category Three or higher.
Towns across Cape Cod are urging residents to learn about their local evacuation routes and put together emergency supply kits before any storms hit.
In Sandwich, the Office of Emergency Management says while no one can predict exactly where storms will track, preparedness is something that can be controlled.
Hurricane season runs through November 30th.
