As hurricane Beryl, a Category 5 hurricane approaches us in the Cayman Islands, I would like to share some technical tips for weathering this storm... 1) Securing Multiple Mobile Providers: Having SIM cards from two different network providers can be a lifesaver during a hurricane. Network coverage can vary, and one provider may have better service than another in a given area. If one network goes down, you’ll have a backup option to stay connected. This can be particularly useful for sending SOS messages, updating your status to family and friends, or receiving important updates about the hurricane. 2) Weather Apps and Websites: Use weather forecasting apps and websites to stay updated on the hurricane’s path and intensity. These platforms provide real-time updates and alerts that can help you prepare and respond effectively. My preference would be Windy.com & App 3) Emergency Alert System: Ensure your mobile device is set up to receive emergency alerts. These alerts can provide critical information about local emergencies and official instructions on what to do. 4) Backup Power: Consider investing in a good quality power bank or generator. Power outages are common during hurricanes, and having a backup can keep your devices running. 5) Data Backup: Back up important data to the cloud or an external hard drive. This ensures your data is safe and accessible from any location, even if your devices are damaged. 6) Communication Apps: Have communication apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or Zoom installed and set up on your devices. These can be used to stay in touch with family and friends, especially if traditional phone lines go down. #StaySafeCayman #LogicCommunication
