Are You Prepared for Hurricane Season?

06/19/2025

Hurricane Season is upon us, and now is the time to prepare. Taking early action can make all the difference when it comes to protecting your home, your family, and your peace of mind. Follow these seven essential steps to stay ready and informed:

  1. Identify nearby shelters and evacuation routes
    Make a list of hurricane shelters in your area and plan the safest route to reach them. Ensure every family member knows the plan and has a bag packed with basic necessities. For an up-to-date list of available shelters in St. Maarten, visit:

    Stay informed through local radio stations like 101.1 FM and official government websites.

  2. Prepare a disaster supplies checklist
    A well-stocked emergency kit is essential. Include items such as flashlights, batteries, a radio, a power bank, a cordless screwdriver, first aid supplies, and any other tools that may be useful during and after a storm. Store all items in a secure, easily accessible location.

  3. Trim or remove damaged trees near your home
    Inspect your surroundings and remove any trees or branches that may pose a threat to your property. High winds can cause overhanging limbs to damage roofs, vehicles, or windows.

  4. Respond quickly in the event of a Hurricane Watch (36-hour warning)
    As soon as a Hurricane Watch is issued, stock up on drinking water, ice, fuel, and any remaining supplies. Charge all essential electronics and finalize preparations. Have your emergency kit ready in case you need to move quickly.
  5. Ensure you have enough supplies for your household
    Your emergency kit should include at least three days’ worth of nonperishable food, drinking water, medication, personal hygiene items, disinfectants, and face coverings. Keep important documents sealed in a waterproof container.
  6. Bring companion animals indoors
    During a storm, keep pets indoors and under your supervision. Your emergency kit should also include pet food, any medications they may need, and items such as leashes or carriers in case evacuation is necessary.

  7. Store adequate food and water
    Stock a minimum of three days’ worth of food and water per person in your household. Be prepared with a method to purify water if needed and consider having an alternative cooking plan if power is lost.

Preparing for hurricanes is a shared responsibility that keeps our community safe. Take the time now to protect what matters most. Use the resources available, shop early for your supplies, and encourage family and neighbors to do the same. Staying informed and prepared helps us all weather the storm together.
