Site audience and purpose

This site has two primary audiences. Firstly, it is intended to cover the information needs of the Civil Service in relation to the National Hurricane Plan for the Cayman Islands. More specifically it is aimed towards members of the National Hurricane Committee (NHC), its Sister Islands counterpart, and the various sub-committees. Secondly, it is intended to act as an educational tool to inform the public and help them with their hurricane preparedness planning.

Site navigation

The site is divided into four main topics; namely:

• Preparedness provides information to help people develop a personal hurricane plan.
• Main Plan provides the general framework for the National Hurricane Plan.
• Grand Cayman Subplan lists actions to be taken by response agencies on Grand Cayman.
• Sister Islands Subplan specifies actions to be taken by response agencies on the Sister Islands.

Additionally, there are six reference topics - About Us, News, Publications, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), Contact Us, and Forms.

The Site A-Z index and the Site Map are recommended as alternative aids to navigating the site.
