As the Atlantic hurricane season swings into full force from June 1st to November 30th, residents and property owners across The Bahamas must take proactive steps to prepare. With increasing storm intensity fueled by climate change, the risks to homes, investments, and personal safety are more urgent than ever. At Realty ONE Group Bahamas, we not only help you find the perfect property—we stand by you with expert property management to protect that investment when it matters most.
Why Hurricane Preparation Matters in The Bahamas
The beauty of island living comes with the need for storm readiness. Hurricanes can bring:
-
Winds over 150 mph, capable of tearing roofs off and toppling power lines.
-
Storm surges that flood coastal properties and cause irreversible damage.
-
Extended power outages and disruptions to communication and logistics.
Even a mild Category 1 storm can cause millions in damage. Preparedness isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Hurricane Prep Checklist for Bahamian Property Owners
Realty ONE Group Bahamas recommends every homeowner or landlord complete the following checklist:
-
Roof & Structural Inspection
Ensure your roof is sealed, secured, and up to code. Repair any damage or weak points now. -
Shutters & Windows
Install storm shutters or impact-resistant windows. Board up glass doors and vulnerable points. -
Secure Outdoor Furniture & Landscaping
Anchor or store items that could become projectiles. Trim trees near your roof. -
Update Insurance
Review coverage for wind, flood, and storm surge damage. Take dated photos of property and assets. -
Backup Power & Supplies
Install a generator and store water, batteries, flashlights, medications, and food. -
Evacuation and Communication Plan
Know your zone and exit routes. Share contact info with tenants or family.
