The 2019 Hurricane season is well underway, and by now all preparations should be in place in the event a weather system affects the island.

Here are some important tips when travelling during the hurricane season:

1. Keep your travel documents in a waterproof container or package
2. Provide a family member or friend with your whereabouts and contact numbers
3. Know the name, address, and contact information of the Barbadian Embassy, High Commission, Consul or Honorary Consul in the destination and call on them in times of distress.
4. Acquire travel insurance when visiting overseas.
