We recently purchased a home with a pond. Water is murky due to the last hurricane. Pond has plenty of bream and bass. What normal maintenance or attention should i do?

hurricanes probably not the cause.
you probably have an algae bloom, unless there is a lot of runnoff goong into the pond you can treat this by dyeing the water or algacide

Go pick up scrap sheetrock. Throw it in. It will be crystal clear in a couple weeks.
Then get pond dye to keep sunlight from reaching the bottom.

Muddy water from 2 years ago sounds suspect...

How big is the pond? What is your long term goal? If you want to maximize fish growth and production see list below. Your local coop can come out and test the chemicals.
Liming
Fertilize
Weed Control
Aerate
Feed (baitfish)

How deep? I have a 12 ac and a 3 acre pond. Both are "clearish" to about 15 in.
Both are perfectly healthy.you don't want clear water even is spring Fed. Check Ph , grass growth and structure for breeding/hiding out.
