Travel Tips for Hurricane Season - #4


Hurricanes don’t happen every day, but when they do, they can cause significant damage and create chaos. Some seasons are heavily active, while others may only see one or two major storms that never make landfall. The weather is unpredictable, so opting not to travel at all during hurricane season isn’t necessary. Being prepared for the possibility, however, will ensure that you will still enjoy your vacation, while staying safe and protecting yourself as well as your investment.
Tip #4 - Set up a special hurricane preparedness plan. The key to dealing with a hurricane is to be prepared; this applies to both locals and visitors. Take heed to all hurricane evacuations. This is especially important to visitors; particularly those who don’t live in hurricane zones and aren’t familiar with the dangers of a hurricane. Research options for places to continue your trip should you have to evacuate your original destination. If you live in hurricane zone, and will be away at some point during hurricane season, arrange for hurricane preparedness for your home to minimize damage that may occur by a storm while you’re away. Provide friends and loved ones with your contact information should they need to reach you in the event of a hurricane.
