| NEMO sent out a warning to the public today, saying basically to beware because the height of the hurricane season is here. What is called a precautionary release says, quote, "The period of lull is over; the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea are showing signs of activity. All are strongly advised to convene your emergency committee meetings and identify the logistics needed to make your plan work."
Historically August, September and October are the most active storm months - and the season peaks in mid September.
But NEMO says, quote, "We must not wait until a storm threatens the country to focus on hurricane preparations. Historically for Belize, we are heading into the most devastating period of the season. This precautionary notice serves to ensure we remain as proactive as possible as a people and country. We must stay alert and be prepared. Hope and pray for the best, but plan for the worst."
That's as real as it gets and NEMO has released all the numbers for its district coordinators. Also, there's a NEMO Emergency Hotline and the number for that is 936.
