\u201cThe premature start to the 2018 Hurricane Season<\/strong> on May 25 when subtropical storm Alberto<\/a> formed East of Mexico\u2019s Yucatan Peninsula, serves as a stark reminder of last year\u2019s devastating season.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In addition, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA<\/a> there is a 35% chance of an above-normal hurricane season this year. All this makes preparation for the 2018 season an even greater priority,\u201d said Garry Sinclair, C&W\u2019s Caribbean President.<\/p>\n

Cable & Wireless which operates both Flow<\/a> and C&W Business Solutions<\/a> in the region, \u00a0has been preparing for the season and encourages everyone to be on alert and ready to take the necessary steps to protect family and property.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Flow has already completed a series of rigorous hurricane drills across its markets and has begun customer awareness campaigns. The company has also invested in new cellular towers built specifically to withstand category 5<\/strong> wind conditions and has been rolling these out as part of its restoration efforts in the badly affected islands of Dominica<\/strong>, British Virgin Islands<\/strong> and Anguilla<\/strong>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Additionally, the company has also reinforced its sub-sea network that connects the Americas to the World with increased transmission capacity across fibre links in some markets and put in place even more redundancy options.<\/p>\n
