Financial advisers in Florida are gearing up for Hurricane Irma as the storm — one of the most powerful ever recorded in the Atlantic — bears down on the region.

“We’re in full-contingency, emergency-plan mode here,” said Richard Steinberg, president of Steinberg Global Asset Management in Boca Raton, located on the southeast coast of the state.
