Disaster Coordinator Richardson says we have much to be thankful this hurricane season.

GREAT BAY (DCOMM):---  Disaster Coordinator Fire Commander Clive Richardson, is thankful that once again the nation has been spared the full onslaught of a major hurricane for the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season.

The six-month 2015 season comes to an end on Monday, November 30.

Storm activity for the season was as predicted below average activity.

The season ended with 11 named storms, four of which became hurricanes and two of those became major hurricanes (Category 3 or stronger on the Saffir-Simpson Scale). The average numbers are 11.5 named storms; 6.1 hurricanes; and 2.6 major hurricanes.

“Our country prepared for two storm systems, namely Danny at the beginning of August and Erika near the end of the same month.

“The national disaster management system comprising of 10 Emergency Support Functions representing the seven government ministries went into action on those two aforementioned occasions when those storm systems were to posing a possible threat to the country.

“National preparations were taken in the event that either storm system would make landfall, but we were lucky that both systems veered away.

“I would like to thank the people of our island nation for taking the necessary preparations during the 2015 Atlantic Hurricane season when it was advised to do so.

“I would like to thank the island’s disaster management team and emergency support functions for their role played in preparing the country and taking the necessary actions required during two weather related events in August.

“In conclusion, we have much to be thankful, and as the 2015 season comes to an end, we look ahead in preparing for the 2016 Atlantic Hurricane season,” Disaster Coordinator Clive Richardson told the Department of Communication (DCOMM) on Monday.
