The news from over in Florida is very worrying indeed, with Hurricane Milton - a category 5 storm that is anticipated to be the worst in 100 years - expected to make landfall later today. People are evacuating. Properties are boarded up. Flights are cancelled. And everyone is bracing for the worst. British tourists already in Florida have been immensely concerned with what's coming. The reality is that if you booked a package holiday the tour operator should make arrangements for you. If you are on a DIY trip, you are on your own... Fortunately emergency management arrangements are well-planned and robust. Visitors are always asked to evacuate waterfront hotels temporarily until a hurricane warning is lifted. Check with the front desk or hotel concierge regarding availability at another hotel farther inland. If you do not want to change hotels or can not find availability in a similar level accommodation, then ask about the opportunity to evacuate to a hurricane shelter while a hurricane warning is in effect. You should check your travel insurance policy to see whether you’re covered for extreme weather events such as a hurricane. Many policies do have a clause on this, but the level of coverage can vary. We send all our thoughts to those in the hurricane's path. Take care and stay safe.
