Cayman ramps up planning ahead of hurricane season

Hurricane season begins 1 June and agencies like Hazard Management Cayman Islands have been ramping up the planning and preparedness message on social media platforms, in person at hardware stores and in schools, and at local businesses and non-government organisations.

“Each year, we see greater public engagement with Preparedness Month, and the value of these efforts is clear,” said Mark Codling, deputy director of preparedness, planning and mitigation at Hazard Management.

“With the reality of more frequent and unpredictable weather systems, extending our outreach through June gives residents additional time and support to prepare effectively. Building a culture of readiness is a year-round priority, and every step taken in advance helps strengthen our community’s resilience.”
