Are you anticipating a storm or hurricane at your next travel destination?

While vacations are a time for relaxation, it might be concerning to discover a storm is headed for your tropical resort. Remain mindful of the following hurricane safety tips:

Before Traveling

Check the news: Stay up to date with the local weather at your vacation location up to a week in advance.

Obtain Hurricane Travel Insurance: Hurricane insurance can cover delays due to weather and help you cancel your trip or leave early. 

Make a paper copy of documents: Print and bring copies of your travel insurance, itinerary, and key phone numbers, as well as your passport (if necessary) to make sure you have reliable back-ups in case the internet is no longer available.

During a Hurricane

Identify a point of contact: It can be difficult to find cell service while on vacation so it is important to know where you can go to get in contact with friends or family members.

Identify Evacuation Routes: Once you reach your destination, it is important to identify proper evacuation routes and ask the hotel staff about their evacuation plan.  

Be mindful of your surroundings: Avoid any electrical wiring if you are wet or if the wiring is wet.
