Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service Said: Hurricane Season Starts Soon — Are You Ready?

The Atlantic & Central Pacific hurricane season (including Hawaii) runs June 1 – Nov 30.

The Eastern Pacific season starts May 15.

But don’t wait for the season to begin — now is the time to prepare.

Rushing last-minute can put lives at risk. Here’s how to get ready early:

1. Make an Evacuation Plan

Know where you’d go and how you’d get there. You don’t need to go far—just somewhere safe from flood zones.

Don’t forget your pets!

Find Your Evacuation Zone

2. Assemble Disaster Supplies

Stock up NOW on food, water, meds, flashlights, chargers, radios, and pet supplies.

Be ready for at least 3 days, but longer is better.

3. Get an Insurance Checkup

Review your coverage.

Remember: Home insurance doesn’t cover floods!

Flood insurance has a 30-day waiting period — act now.

4. Create a Communication Plan

Write down emergency contacts and meeting places—don’t rely on the internet during a disaster.

5. Strengthen Your Home

Secure the garage, trim trees, install shutters, and seal openings.

Buy plywood or metal panels early — don’t wait until the storm is on the radar.
