How to avoid hurricanes during your holiday. Tips to travel safely.

December 7th, 2007

Hurricane Katrina
Thanks to Gisuser

I’ve recently finished to read this new from Reuters about a new research from the Colorado State University. The Hurricane study team predicted that 13 tropical storms will develop in the 2008 Atlantic season. The long-term average is for 10 tropical storms and six hurricanes during the six-month season starting June 1.

It’s important to note that the main adventure travel destinations are just in the hurricanes paths.

So it’s better to do a list of possible tips to know more info and plan a more safe vacation.

Countries at risk

2 countries hit by the most hurricanes are the United States and Mexico.

Other countries are:

Cuba
Central America
Lesser Antilles
Canada on rare occasions
Some East Asian nations are hit by typhoons

Landlocked countries like those in Europe, Africa and other mountainous countries are quite.

Forecast

A good idea is to watch forecasting before travel. Here this website gives a good list of forecast

Weather.com gives a good list of satellite maps:

What to do in case of hurricanes:

The first thing is to stay tuned with local institute of Meteorology. Television and radio play a vital role in informing the public as the level of alert rises.
Stay away from disaster areas unless local authorities request volunteers.
Drive only when necessary. The streets will be filled with debris. Roads may have weakened and can collapse under the weight of a car.
Stay away from river banks and streams until potential flooding has passed.
Stay away from downed power lines and report them to the power company. Report broken gas, sewer or water mains.
Contact your insurance agent. Take photos of or videotape the damage.
Check battery-powered equipment. Your battery-operated radio could be your only source of information, and flashlights will be needed if utility services are interrupted. Buy extra batteries.
Store drinking water in clean bathtubs, jugs, bottles and cooking utensils as your town’s water system may be contaminated or damaged by the storm. Obtain extra prescription medications and medical supplies.

There’s no way to predict what will happen before a hurricane strikes, but there are many ways to prepare for the worst. Ease your mind by having a hurricane kit on hand.
