Hurricane Season is Coming: Be Ready
In Barbados and across the Caribbean, hurricane season runs from June to November. Preparing in advance can help protect your home, belongings, and loved ones. One of the first steps is to safeguard important documents. Keep essential items like passports, insurance policies, and property deeds in a waterproof, fireproof container. It’s also a good idea to make digital copies and store them securely online or on an external drive. Having a printed list of emergency contacts and account numbers in your emergency kit is also helpful.
Preparing your home is equally important. Inspect your roof for any loose tiles or shingles and secure them. Trim trees and remove any debris that could become dangerous in high winds. Make sure your windows are protected with storm shutters or plywood and clear your gutters and drains to prevent flooding.
Now is also the time to review your insurance coverage.
