Hurricane season is from June 1st to November 30th. The Atlantic basin, home to our beautiful island of Bermuda, tends to endure frequent hurricane activity.
Preparing for an approaching storm includes securing your personal property to minimize the risk of damage and to help protect the environment.
Acting quickly to clean-up after a storm has a big impact on your home, neighborhood and on the environment. Removing post-storm debris and ocean pollution from beaches and coastal areas prevents those items from washing back out to sea.
Pre-Storm Clean Up
Post-Storm Clean Up
Safety A Top Priority For Clean-Up Crews
Bermuda is littered with hazards after a hurricane, from fallen trees in the road and live wires lurking under piles of debris to buildings that could collapse at any moment and cliffsides that could fall into the ocean.
After a storm, Belco workers hit the streets from sun-up to late at night, repairing infrastructure such as branch lines so that power can be restored to our homes. Safety is paramount for the clean-up teams charged with the responsibility of putting the island back together. Belco staff and soldiers from the Royal Bermuda Regiment are rigorously trained so that they are aware of all the post-storm dangers and can go about their jobs as safely as possible.
