NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Hurricanes can bring devastating impacts, but preparation can make all the difference. We spoke to residents in New Providence to learn how they’re gearing up for the 2024 season.

Elmer Lowe, a project and facilities manager, says he is heeding the wisdom of the elders as the season starts.

David Slatter, Vice President of RF Bank and Trust, leans on his analytical background and encourages everyone to pay attention to the data.

Franklin Russell is taking his preparedness level a step further by securing all of his documents in advance and in the event of a storm, his home is also protected.

For some, like rotarian Dr. Bridgette Rolle, the community is at the heart of their preparedness efforts.

Business owner Georgette Rolle admits she hasn’t started her hurricane shopping but she says she believes there are other national issues that should be a priority for residents.
