DDME Conducts Hurricane Preparedness Presentation to Digicel Staff

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands— Thursday, 24 September 2026: The Department of Disaster Management and Emergencies (DDME) was invited by Digicel to deliver a hurricane preparedness presentation to members of their staff.

The engaging 90-minute presentation formed part of DDME’s ongoing public education and awareness efforts aimed at strengthening preparedness across the Turks and Caicos Islands. Digicel employees received important information on the potential impacts of hurricanes and other emergencies, as well as actions individuals and organisations can take to reduce risks and protect lives, property and essential operations.

The presentation emphasised that preparedness is a shared responsibility and should begin well before an emergency threatens the country. Staff were encouraged to understand hurricane risks, remain informed through official sources and develop personal and workplace preparedness plans.

DDME Director Jason Hills said, “Preparedness is most effective when it is planned and practised before an emergency occurs.”

Businesses, schools and government departments can contact DDME for hurricane preparedness training, emergency drills support or business contingency planning.
