Cayman awaits all clear

The "all clear" will be issued by the Cayman Islands Government only after a thorough evaluation. Here’s how it is determined:

1.⁠ ⁠Weather Conditions: The hurricane or tropical storm must have completely passed, with no lingering hurricane-force winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, or strong winds threatening the area.

2.⁠ ⁠Damage Assessment: Major hazards like flooding, downed power lines, and structural damage are checked. Debris will be cleared, and roads and critical infrastructure will be be evaluated to ensure they are safe for travel and use.

3.⁠ ⁠Emergency Services Evaluation: Emergency response teams (police, fire, medical) will confirm that it is safe for residents to return home or move freely. Key services, including hospitals, shelters, and emergency centers, must be fully operational.

Only when all these criteria are met will the "all clear" be issued to guarantee safety and well-being. Please remain in place and stay tuned for updates.
