Every hurricane season tells the same story:
Those who prepare early have more options, less stress, and recover more quickly. A prepared #Barbados is a resilient Barbados. #BePrepared #HurricaneSeason

[Bajan Fire Fighters @bajanfire]

Don't focus only on the hurricane category.
Ask yourself:
▪️Can home withstand high winds?
▪️Am I prepared for flooding?
▪️What if the power fails?
▪️What if water service is interrupted?
That's real preparedness.
