The 2010 season has taken off from a slow start this year with two named storm systems to date, however this may change soon in the coming weeks.
The Office of Disaster Management & Preparedness is calling on the community to make sure everybody has everything in place and storm ready. Everybody must take the required actions to minimize the risk of injury and damage to property in case there is a hurricane strike, and the time to act is now if you haven't already.
Being prepared is essential prior to a hurricane strike. Businesses and government must survive and recover from a disaster as quick as possible which would ensure that the economy can be up and running and our way of life returns to a semblance of normality.
Residents, business owners and contractors have been advised from the beginning of the season to draft plans that would protect their families, business operations and construction sites.
When a hurricane threatens our island, what is left for residents, businesses and contractors to do to prepare should be minimal.
The hurricane season runs through November 30.
