Disaster Preparedness

Bermuda is a hurricane-prone island. Although the worst of these storms generally skirt Bermuda; an occasional storm inflicts significant damage. Cruise ships regularly alter their schedules and courses to and from the United States due to Atlantic hurricanes. General information about natural disaster preparedness is available via the internet from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at: http://www.fema.gov/ or locally at www.weather.bm

Hurricanes
Hurricane season runs from June through November, although the most serious storms usually occur in the fall months.   Bermuda tends to weather tropical storms very well, and hotels are equipped to assist their guests should a hurricane hit the island.
