Community Urged to Stay in Place as of 6pm tonight, Wednesday 3 July 2024

The Cayman Islands Government is urging the public to stay in place beginning at 6pm tonight, Wednesday 3 July until an official All Clear is given as Hurricane Beryl approaches. There are currently no plans to officially restrict movement as the public is expected to comply with guidance given in the interest of their own safety. Unnecessary travel could cause added emergencies during this period of heightened response. With this in mind, persons who are choosing to take shelter away from home should do so before nightfall to ensure that they are within a secure location before weather conditions begin to deteriorate.
