On Thursday, August 14 2025, the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Authority in partnership with the Ministry of Works and Family Island Affairs installed signage on designated emergency hurricane shelters across the island of Grand Bahama. This effort is intended to clearly identify shelter locations and enhance public preparedness during the ongoing hurricane season.
Residents are encouraged to review the 2025 Official Hurricane Shelter List for Grand Bahama to locate the designated shelter in their area available at: https://getready.gov.bs/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2025-Hurricane-Shelter-List-DIR-20052025.pdf.
