Busy Summer Travel + Hurricane Season:
Let’s Prepare for the Unexpected Together
Protect Your Summer Trip with WorldTrips®
Trip planning, while exciting, can be stress-inducing. Compound that with airlines reporting one of the busiest travel seasons since 2019 AND hurricane season... It can be a lot to manage.
Checking the travel insurance box when booking a flight or vacation rental is easy enough, but it can make things very complicated - especially if a trip needs to be canceled due to a named hurricane.
We can't prevent travel mishaps from occurring, but buying one comprehensive travel protection plan through one company to cover a whole trip can help things go more smoothly in the event of trip disruptions.
WorldTrips' Atlas Journey® trip protection plans are designed for U.S. travelers seeking domestic coverage and coverage abroad. Check out prices by starting a quote for your trip today!
You can get coverage for your entire trip, including your flights, accommodations, and covered medical expenses when purchasing a WorldTrips plan. This shouldn't stop you from being prepared for the potential inclement weather...
It is crucial to still have a checklist, reminders, and a secure plan in place, in the event of a hurricane. Be sure to sign up for local alerts or keep an eye out for any updates from news channels around your desired destination. Watch the video below for Erin's story and how she learned a valuable lesson about insurance and what can happen during hurricane season.
Travel confidently with WorldTrips.
Quick Facts, Tips, and Advice:
Sometimes hurricanes can be called typhoons and vice versa...
- North Atlantic and northeast Pacific = Hurricanes and tropical storms.
- Northwest Pacific = Typhoons.
If you think you may be affected by a hurricane, be sure to follow these tips from our partners at On Call International:
- If you have been ordered to evacuate by local authorities, do so immediately - but be sure to keep loved ones informed of where you are going (and let them know when you've safely arrived.)
- If you have not been recommended to evacuate, plan to take shelter where you are.
- Know the best way to stay informed, whether through local contact, the local news, or an alert system.
- Check to see if your community (or the community you're traveling through) offers text or email-based emergency alerts and notifications.
- Be advised that local services, local public and private transport, communications, and even basic supplies may be difficult to access.
- Ensure that you are stocked up on food, water, and medications.
- Ensure that your cell phone and any other communication devices are fully charged. Whenever possible, restrict calls to emergency use only to help you save battery.
- Plan how you're going to communicate if you lose power. (In a hurricane, a text message may be faster and more reliable than a phone call, as phone lines are easily overloaded.)
- Avoid walking or driving through flood waters and inundated areas.
- Watch out for debris and downed power lines.
