PREPARING FOR HURRICANE SEASON BEFORE TRAVELING

8/1/2020 (Permalink)

While vacations are a time for relaxation, an unexpected storm can ruin an otherwise amazing trip. It is important to remain mindful of the following hurricane safety tips:

Check the news: Check the weather of your travel destination up to a week in advance to avoid any surprise downpours. 

Obtain Hurricane Travel Insurance: Hurricane insurance can cover travel delays as a result of poor weather conditions and help you cancel your trip or leave early. 

Make paper copy of documents: In the event internet or digital devices are unavailable, printed copies of your travel insurance, itinerary, key phone numbers, and your passport will ensure you have reliable back-ups.

Identify a point of contact: Select an area to find your family or travel members in case cell phone coverage becomes unavailable.

Identify Evacuation Routes: Ask your hotel staff about emergency exit routes and safety procedures.
