Posted On: April 2, 2026

As the 2026 hurricane season is less than two months away, Volusia County is giving residents a chance to get ready well in advance. This year’s Hurricane Expo will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 18, in the pavilion area of the Daytona International Speedway, 1801 W. International Speedway Blvd.

The free, family-friendly event will provide residents with practical information and resources to help them prepare before storms threaten the area. Attendees can explore exhibits focused on emergency alerts, evacuation planning, and property protection, while connecting directly with local emergency response teams and community partners. More than 1,500 people attended the previous Hurricane Expo.

The event will feature live safety demonstrations, educational presentations, and guest speakers offering guidance on how to stay safe during hurricane season. Families can also enjoy a hands-on Touch-A-Truck experience featuring fire, EMS, law enforcement, and utility vehicles, giving children an up-close, interactive experience.

More than 50 vendors, community organizations, and government agencies involved in hurricane preparedness and response will be on site, offering products, services, and information to support storm readiness. Giveaways will be offered throughout the day, and food will be available for purchase.

The Hurricane Expo is coordinated by the Volusia County Organizations Active in Disasters (COAD) in partnership with Volusia County Emergency Management.
