The 2021 hurricane season begins in less than a week and already, the first storm has been named. Ana was formed last week, but was predicted to be a weak, short-lived storm.
Still, after the damage caused by Eta and Iota late last year, the Ministry of Disaster Risk Management and NEMO are getting ahead of the season.
Today they held a hurricane sensitization session in Belmopan to inform the public of their safety plans and our colleagues from PlusTV attended.
The Minister, Orlando Habet, assured the public that they have been working to prepare for what may be a volatile hurricane season. But, just like every year, the MET office doesn't have a working radar. But Chief MET officer, Ronald Gordon, stated that…well, they don't need it.
