Hurricane Season

Remember to be ready before June 1st to November 30th every year is the Hurricane season.

Hurricane preparation in Bermuda involves having a comprehensive family plan, stocking an emergency supply kit, securing your property, and staying informed through official government and weather channels. The Emergency Measures Organisation (EMO) coordinates the island’s preparedness efforts.
Emergency Supply Kit Essentials

Stock your emergency kit with enough supplies for several days (at least three) for every person and pet in your household. Store items in a waterproof, easy-to-carry container.

• Water: One gallon per person per day for drinking and sanitation. Freeze plastic containers of water in advance to help keep food cold in the freezer/fridge if power is lost.
• Food: A several-day supply of non-perishable food, a manual can opener, and cooking supplies (like a gas or charcoal grill with extra propane/charcoal, used outdoors only).
• Medications & First Aid: A well-stocked first aid kit, prescription medications, non-prescription drugs, and personal hygiene items.
• Power & Light: Flashlights, a battery- powered or hand-crank radio (ideally a NOAA weather radio), and plenty of extra batteries. Avoid using candles due to fire risk.

• Documents & Cash: Copies of important documents (insurance policies, ID, medical info) in a waterproof & fireproof container, and cash (ATMs and banks may be unavailable after a storm).
• Sanitation: Moist towelettes, garbage bags, plastic ties, soap, and hand sanitizer. Consider filling bathtubs with water for basic washing needs.
• Pet Supplies: Food, extra water, and any necessary supplies for pets.
Property Preparation
Bermuda’s infrastructure is generally resilient, but taking additional steps to secure your property is critical.
• Outdoor Items: Bring all outdoor furniture, plants, and other loose items inside. Secure any rented scooters.
• Windows & Doors: Install hurricane shutters or board up windows with plywood well in advance of the storm.
• Drains & Gutters: De-clutter drains and gutters to prevent flooding.
• Utilities: Ensure your generator is in working order and has enough fuel, but never operate it indoors. Be prepared to turn off electricity and main water valves if advised by officials.
• Vehicles & Boats: Fill car fuel tanks and any extra cans you have. Secure boats in their lifts or strap them down.
Plan and Stay Informed
• Family Plan: Meet with your family to create a plan that includes an evacuation strategy and communication methods. Designate a safe interior room in your home.

• Monitor Conditions: Stay tuned to the Bermuda Weather Service (www.weather.bm) and official government channels for the latest updates and instructions from the EMO. The emergency broadcast station is FM 100.1 MHZ.
• Communication: Charge all electronic devices beforehand. Use text messages to communicate after the storm to avoid congesting phone lines needed for emergencies.
• Post-Storm Safety: Stay indoors until emergency personnel declare it safe to move around. Be wary of downed power lines and floodwaters. Document any property damage with photos for insurance purposes.

Hurricane preparation in Bermuda involves creating a supply kit with essentials like water, canned food, a first-aid kit, and batteries, and securing your home by having flashlights, towels, and a manual can opener ready. It’s also recommended to check your generator, maintain fuel supplies, and stay informed through official sources like the Government of Bermuda.
