Hurricane Planning tips

by tacogirl 24/09/2010
written by tacogirl 24/09/2010
Ambergris Caye Weather

The first thing I did this morning was check wunderground and Tropic Storm Matthew is showing as just that now and no yellow bit to indicate cat 1. The second thing I did was go talk to Paul the building caretaker as I saw him upstairs boarding teacher Lisa’s windows. He said he will do our side windows later today.

Boy and I glad I did not start washing sheets and picked sweeping and mopping instead. Was 3/4 done mopping and the rain has just started pelting down big time. Back in a bit going to finish the floors.

Rain has stopped for a bit and the sun is out. Just checked wunderground and now they have the storm downgrading to a tropical depression as it passes over is that is good news.

For those who are new to the island or thinking about it and still working things out – Dianne Campbell’s updated list for hurricane tips and planning. If anyone has any good tips to add please leave a comment.

Hurricane Planning – August 2008 (updated June 2010)

For those who are here …………

COMMUNICATION – INFORMATION AND CONTACT WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

When a storm threatens or happens, the phone lines here are stressed beyond capacity. This is frustrating for callers but even worse it can endanger lives. Your family abroad is worried and needs news, but not at the expense of a complete collapse of local communications. In an emergency, place one call, not ten.

Here is how: Select ONE person OUTSIDE BELIZE to be your information center. This person should have a reliable phone and a computer. Tell all your family and friends that this is information central for you. If there is a storm, contact this person and let them know what you plan to do and when you will contact them again (or a time they can try to reach you). All your family & friends can get clear and correct information this way – and you will be able to focus on taking care of yourself instead of trying to calm the nerves of others who are far away.

COMMUNICATION – NEIGHBORS & FRIENDS NEARBY
1. Keep Cellular phone charged. 
2. Listen to Love FM and/or REEF Radio. Bulletins will be broadcast there, including messages to individuals.
3. Buy and use Walkie-talkies/radios – Channel 16 is the emergency frequency. Work out a plan with your neighbors prior to the storm hitting – know how to communicate during the storm.
4. Have phone cards with available credit on hand.

INSURANCE POLICIES
1. Do not keep your original policy in your house –
if the house is damaged, the policy will be damaged as well.
2. Do keep your policy encased in plastic bags – either in a safe deposit box at the bank or in the hands of a designated representative that lives outside the danger area.
Best that your “communication central” person above also have the policy or a current copy of the same.
3. Do copy policy particulars electronically and place that documentation out of harm’s way.
4. Check that your policies have not lapsed and updated your inventory list now.
5. Boat policies – most require that you have secured your boat well – photograph your tie-down or beach storage at the time you pull your boat. You may need this to process a claim.

OTHER IMPORTANT PAPERWORK
Wills, Deeds, Boat Titles etc –
DO put them in plastic carriers and thence in a safe deposit box at the bank.
DO scan electronically and then back up the scan. Place copies in two safe locations, (one should probably be a “communication central” person.)

PREPARING PROPERTY – TO DO NOW
1. Assemble boards and/or shutters for windows and doors.
2. Get nails & hammer for installation of boards.
3. Check seals around windows and doors – is the silicone fresh – will it keep out water.
4. Check roofing – nail down what is loose, and repair what is missing.
5. Knockdown coconuts. This is to protect you from a flying nut, but also to protect the trees themselves. In a strong wind, the trunks of trees that are heavy with coconuts will snap in two and you will lose your best trees as a result.
6. Remove trees that would crash you/your house if they fell.

Ambergris Caye WeatherWHEN THE STORM IS THREATENING
1. Put up boards/shutters on windows and doors.
2. Take down all hanging-banging things (hammocks, flags, decorative items)
3. Take in all outdoor furniture.
4. Disassemble downspouts and put them away – they are going to blow down if you don’t do this, and if you take them down you will save time and money putting the place back together.

 

HURRICANE SAFETY – ITEMS TO HAVE
TOOLS & SUPPLIES

Hammer

Nails
Saw
Crowbar
Axe
Machete
Rope (at least 200 feet)
Knife (to cut rope)
Plastic sheeting/tarp
Duct tape – be sure the stick-um is fresh

HOUSEHOLD
Lots and lots of big tough garbage bags – you will use them for everything.
Large plastic garbage cans (5 or more) For storing water & personal items.
Candles
Stove-lighter (matches get wet)
Hand can-opener
Flashlights
Battery radio
Extra Toilet paper and paper towels – stored in sealed plastic.
Bleach for disinfectant.
Plastic buckets.
Batteries
Flares / Air horn – for summoning aid
Mosquito coils

FOOD for 10-14 days – Suggested items, all of which can be eaten without cooking:
Tuna – canned
Beans of all varieties – canned
Beef stew in cans
Fruit cocktail, fruit in syrup
Canned chocolate milk
Tinned meats
Canned soups
Canned Chili
Fruit squash concentrate
Canned veggies – green beans, corn, beets, yams, peas, etc.
Mayonnaise, Olive oil, Vinegar
Crackers
Cold cereal
Peanut butter.
Tinned butter
Sugar
Canned or powdered milk.
Lasko food drink – a lifesaver in a pinch.

Many of the items above will allow you to assemble a good set of cold meat or tuna and vegetable salads at dinner. Fruit for breakfast. Chocolate milk for comfort. Peanut butter needs bread, so keep some frozen and ready to use if you need it.

Other foodstuffs to have – must be cooked, so not really much use during the storm:
Oatmeal, Rice, Pasta (canned spaghetti sauce to go with it)
If you drink coffee, be sure that you have some pre-ground.
If you drink tea, be sure you store it in zip-lock bags.
When you buy, try to assemble a meal at a time from the shelves of the market —- that will allow you to really know if you have enough food and the right kind.

IF YOU HAVE PETS – stock up on pet food, cat litter.

PERSONAL ITEMS
Glasses
Extra contact lenses
Two weeks minimum supply of essential medications
First aid supplies – full spectrum
Clothes that are comfortable and dry easily.
Hard-sole / toe-covering shoes – do not go outside without them during or
after a storm, as there will be so many things around that will cut your feet.
Raincoats & pants
Tampons
Soap, shampoo, toothpaste
Mosquito repellent

KEYS – Do you have extras for your house, etc? If not, get some and put a set in a zip-bag someplace you can both remember and access if you lose your originals.

PETS – If it’s too dangerous for you, it’s probably too dangerous for them. Have kennel carriers ready. If you are evacuating, take a boat – the planes won’t fly them. Many local captains will take you to the mainland as a private run – if you arrange soon enough. The cost last year for us was $600 Bz – that was four adults, two dogs, and a cat. Not bad.

DO NOT tie an animal up on a roof or a veranda. They will strangle for sure.
Pets are not allowed in government hurricane shelters, but generally are ok in an emergency in most other places of refuge.

PACKING UP / BATTENING DOWN
After two evacuations (in two weeks) in 2008 year, I have arrived at a method for household packing that seems to work pretty well — here it is:
1. clothes, bedding, small items – haul out those plastic garbage cans – line with big plastic garbage bags – dump your stuff in there, duct tape the heck out of them to seal them shut
and then clamp on the lids – store on a second floor if possible.
2. Paperwork & books – you can do the garbage can thing, but if you do this, be prepared for a jumble afterward – if you can get some rectangular action packers it’s a better bet for papers – do the same bag and tape exercise as noted above.
3. Larger electronics – double bag, and tape. Put in a place least likely to get wet.
4. Unplug all appliances – storm surge can fry them when the storm is over, as can lightning strikes.
5. Dishes and pots and pans -not a major focus – they can stand water and if they break they break.
6. Paintings and wall items – takedown, bag and tape.

WATER – you need power to pump from underground cisterns, and above-ground ones may be damaged. Both types may become contaminated in a storm. Store at least 100 gallons of clean water for immediate use as follows:

Place one plastic garbage can in or near your kitchen – fill and cover.
Place one plastic garbage can in your bathroom – fill and cover.
If you cannot drink the water that you have stored in the kitchen can, fill many smaller bottles with drinking water and store.

GETAWAY BAGS = Pack one as a practice exercise – if you can leave it packed for the next couple of months, do so. If not, unpack it and list all items you must have in it – when the emergency comes just follow the list ( in a panic you will forget important things and pack stuff that makes no sense at all ……. it’s stressful and it wastes time- a list takes the worry out of the prep).

COMPUTER  – If you evacuate, do try to take your laptop. Toss in some inspirational, distracting, happy DVD’s and music.

READING MATERIALS – You are going to be stuck someplace for a while with nothing much to do – have a couple of escape-type novels and magazines with you.

MONEY MONEY MONEY – When we have a storm the power is off. When the power is off there is no credit card use, no instant teller and no banking.

Have cash on hand in small bills – both US and Belize money if you can do that. If you end up in Texas or Mexico, the Belize money is not as useful as if you had a bit of USD on hand. Credit cards for these foreign locations are useful, so do not forget them.

DOCUMENTS TO CARRY WITH YOU
Passport
Driver’s license
Credit cards (in case of a trip outside)
Prescriptions for necessary medications

FUEL – GASOLINE, AND DIESEL – HAVE A SUPPLY ON HAND. After a storm, there may not be any gasoline or diesel for some time. Power is needed to pump. Pipelines, storage tanks and barges are disrupted. After Keith, we had no fuel at first and then rationing of fuel for some time after the one station was restored.

PROPANE – same advice as above – fill tanks and store out of harm’s way when a storm threatens.

GET A GENERATOR NOW – unlikely that you will find one for sale anywhere after a storm (there were none to be had in Belize for about a year after Katrina hit the US). Keep it serviced and know how to use it.

We got hit by Hurrican Ike here in Houston a couple years ago and purchased some sand bags to place at the bottom of some of our doors so water would not enter the house. We also used some of Don’s hand-held portable battery packs he uses for photography shoots that powered my laptop or small tv when the electricity was out for 10 days. We could recharge them using the cigarette lighter in the Jeep when they got low. Prayers with you!

That is a cool idea for battery packs Liz would never have thought of that one. Do you need a special adapter to use with laptop? A friend in Mexico and I were looking up solar powered laptop chargers but no idea what is good and what is not. Lara had a good tip similar to sandbags roll a towel stick it in a garbage bag then pull the garbage bag under the door and the end with towel on is outside helping bock the water.

Great info Taco Girl. How much rain has it put down so far ?

I agree Todd – Dianne did a great list. Not sure how much rain in inches but not a lot so far we have a break and the sun is out again for now.

I just returned from my trip to Belize in mid-June 2022. I had been planning the trip weeks / months in advance and... Laurie (taco girl) wasextremely helpful in preparation for my trip. Her intimate knowledge as an expat who was ONCE a tourist, really helps because she is able to share first hand knowledge of how a tourist can explore Ambergis Caye like a "temporary local". An example of this, was she recommended 2 yoga classes for my wife to enjoy while on vacation that we would not have known about otherwise and the class was far better than a class arranged by a hotel, as you get the local experience not a staged one. In addition, she was helpful in providing recommendations for dinner and sharing some discounts she has arranged with local retailers. Reviewing the taco girl blog and reaching out to Laurie is like having a tour guide, but more important a tour guide that KNOWS Belize.read more

It was my first time visiting Belize and San Pedro so naturally I had a ton of questions when it came time to planning... the travel. Taco Gril's blog was an invaluable source of information for all the travel questions in Ambergris Caye. I was able to learn a lot of basic information, as well as many tips and tricks. In addition when I reached out to Taco Girl for advice on finding a local photographer and a restaurant recommendation, she was very quick to respond and gave me many helpful suggestions. She also provided a lot more information from a local's point of view, which was much for valuable than than a typical guidebook. Thanks to her helpful suggestions we were able to celebrate my daughter's birthday at a nice restaurant, and had a great photo family session with a local photographer. I'm very thankful for all her resources and knowledge.read more

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton!I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments.

ABOUT ME

I took the plunge and moved to San Pedro Town on the Island of Ambergris Caye, off the coast of Belize, Central America. Originally from Canada, I made the life-changing move to escape winter for good (in 2006) after one three week vacation. If you have any questions or want Belize help planning and booking, please feel free to contact me.

SPARKING MY DESIRE

A few childhood memories that shaped my desire to move to Belize from a young age. Sailing in the Virgin Islands, seeing a rainbow out the window of an island hopper as we flew from Virgin Islands to Puerto Rico, Christmas in Hawaii and many trips to Florida.
