More hurricane prep – Shelters, Pet Care and more..

Following on from our previous blog on the importance of hurricane preparedness, here is some additional information on weathering the season starting with a list of the shelters in the most populated districts of George Town and West Bay.  Keep in mind that pets are not allowed and separate plans will need to be made for their safety. In addition, not all shelters may be opened at the same time depending on the severity of the storm.
