Forward

This National Hurricane plan outlines the major tasks to be undertaken by agencies, ministries or

departments as part of the National Emergency Management System in planning for, and responding to

tropical weather systems such as storms and hurricanes. The Hurricane Plan is a sub plan of the National

Emergency Management plan, and details of the actions are to be found in the internal plans of the

respective departments.

Notwithstanding this plan, the final decision on preparation and response lies with HE the Governor, and

the National Disaster Preparedness Response Advisory Committee.

Note that Tropical storm and Hurricane watches are issued when Tropical Storm/Hurricane conditions are

possible along the coast within 48 hours. Tropical Storm/Hurricane warnings are issued when

Storm/Hurricane conditions are expected within 36 hours (instead of 24 hours).

Hurricane Warning (36 hours) Hurricane warnings will be issued when Hurricane

conditions are expected within 36 hours

Hurricane Watch (48 hours)

Hurricane watches will be issued when Tropical

Storm/Hurricane conditions are possible along the

coast within 48 hours

Tropical Storm Warning (36 hours) Tropical Storm warnings will be issued when Storm

conditions are expected within 36 hours Tropical Storm Watch (24 hours) Tropical storm watches will be issued when Tropical Storm

conditions are possible along the coast within 48 hours A Hurricane carries sustained winds of 74 mph and above.

A Tropical Storm carries sustained winds of 39 mph to 73 mph with higher gusts.

All official weather information for Montserrat is provided by the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological

Services in collaboration with the John Alfred Airport, Radio Montserrat and the Disaster Management

Coordination Agency.

The Disaster Management Coordination Agency is responsible for the review and update of this and other

related emergency response plans.

The contact list attached to this plan is to be used for official purposes only.

All agencies and departments are responsible for their internal planning at all phases of the emergency

response cycle.

K:\National Emergency Plans 2013 Page 4

Characteristics

Tropical cyclones are characterized by their destructive winds, storm surges and exceptional

levels of rainfall which may cause flooding.

Destructive Winds

The strong winds generated by Tropical cyclones circulate counter clockwise in the Northern

Hemisphere while spiraling inward and moving towards the cyclone centre. Winds speeds

progressively increase towards the core. As the eye arrives, winds fall off to become almost calm

but rise again just as quickly as the eye passes and are replaced by hurricane force winds from a

direction nearly the reverse of those previously blowing.

Storm Surges

As a tropical cyclone approaches the coast, strong on-shore winds on the sea surface, plus the

"suction effect" of reduced atmospheric pressure, can pile up sea water along a coastline near a

cyclone's landfall well above the predicted tide level.

Excessive Rainfall

The high humidity condenses into rain and giant cumulus clouds result in high precipitation rates

even before the cyclone reaches land. The rain rapidly saturates the ground and rapid run off will

result in severe flooding.

Likely Impact of Tropical weather events

Casualties and Public Health - While relatively few, deaths and serious injury can occur as a

result of the impact of high winds, storm surges and flooding. The threat to public health

emerges in the aftermath of events when conditions such as water contamination or shortage,

flooding and damage to sanitation facilities may favour the spread of diseases. Persons who are

injured are also less likely to get adequate medical support due to communication problems

Physical Damage - Structures may be damaged or destroyed by wind force, storm surges,

landslides and flooding. Public utilities such as overhead power lines, water supply systems,

bridges, culverts and drainage systems are also subject to severe damage. Fallen trees, wind

driven rain and flying debris can also cause considerable damage.

Crops and Food Supplies - The combination of high winds and heavy rain and flooding can

ruin crops and trees. Food stocks may be lost or contaminated and it is possible that

food shortages will occur. Transportation of foods from outside the affected area can be delayed

by damaged transportation facilities

Communication - Communication may be severely disrupted as power systems, telephone lines,

radio and television antennas are damaged. Roads, seaports and airports may be blocked or

damaged.

K:\National Emergency Plans 2013 Page 5

Tropical weather system phases

1. Tropical Disturbance - A weather system which gives rise to a specific area of

cloudiness with embedded showers and thunderstorms.

2. Tropical Depression - A tropical cyclone system with definite counter-clockwise wind

circulation with maximum sustained winds of less than 38 mph (61 km/h). At this stage the

system is given a number.

3. Tropical Storm - A tropical cyclone system, with maximum sustained surface winds greater than

38 mph (61 km/h), but less than 74 mph (119 km/h). At this stage the system is given a name.

4. Hurricane - A tropical cyclone with wind speed greater than 74 mph (119 km/h). The weather

system is now better organised and the eye is well defined.

Classification of Hurricanes

The Saffir-Simpson hurricane intensity scale (Simpson and Riehl 1981) for the Atlantic and

Northeast Pacific basins gives an estimate of the potential flooding and damage to property given

a hurricane's estimated intensity.
