What we want people to do is be ready for their one. Don&#8217;t worry about how many we&#8217;re going to have,&#8221; Guthire told FOX Weather. &#8220;We, the state of emergency management, are preparing for \u2026 a total of six storms. We don&#8217;t want six storms to hit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/category\/florida\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Florida<\/a>, but that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re preparing for.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guthrie offered these five rules of hurricane preparation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/learn\/how-to-prepare-for-an-evacuation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Put together a plan<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/learn\/how-to-build-an-emergency-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">evacuation\/emergency kit<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Know your home and know your zone.

That prevents a run on gas stations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you evacuate, don&#8217;t over evacuate. Leave if ordered to and drive tens of miles, not hundreds of miles.
