Create a Family Hurricane Plan with OneStorm
OneStorm's Mission
OneStorm's mission is to educate and prepare families and businesses for severe weather situations.
OneStorm is more than a company: it's an idea. Our goal is to bridge the gap between those in need and the resources required to make change happen.
Why is OneStorm free?
In one sentence: OneStorm is a free hurricane preparedness resource for families, financially supported by related consulting services that we provide to businesses and local governments.
OneStorm contains no advertisements, adware, spyware, viruses, etc., and at no point will ask for things like a credit card or social security number. If you enjoy the show Law and Order like we do, grab some popcorn, then read our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions that legally bind us to keeping your information safe.
OneStorm was created in 2005 in reaction to one of the worst hurricane seasons in history. When I moved from Philadelphia to St. Petersburg, Florida that year, boy was I in for a surprise. Turning to the Internet (as I always do) for resources on how to prepare for back-to-back hurricanes, I was shocked to find such little information out there. Over a casual lunch conversation with co-founder Peter Loui, we agreed that someone should really put everything in one place to help families get prepared. We decided that someone was us, and here we are three years later preparing thousands of families across the country.
Keeping OneStorm free has created many great opportunities for our company. We gained the support and endorsement of former National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield and CBS News Hurricane Expert Bryan Norcross, who you may remember as the broadcaster who talked South Florida through Hurricane Andrew in 1992. These guys live and breathe preparedness - so much that Bryan wrote a book on hurricanes - and were happy to lend their support to OneStorm's mission.
Last but certainly not least, OneStorm teamed up with Publix Supermarkets in 2006 to expand the culture of preparedness. Publix's unmatched commitment to supporting local communities was a perfect fit with OneStorm and we're proud to have them as our Community Partner.
That's our story so far, and we can't wait to see how it continues. If you'd like to be a part of the next chapter, I'd love to hear from you. Have a safe (and not too stressful) hurricane season.
All the best,
Chris
