Hurricane Preparedness Manual
The Hurricane Preparedness Manual was produced in conjunction with CTO, largely through donations from American Express and IH&RA's Fund for the Future. The manual covers preparedness and damage control, readiness during the passing of a hurricane, and post-disaster mitigation and recovery. Sent automatically to all new CHTA hotel members, it offers advice on guest and property safety and security, insurance coverage, and disaster communications. Due to the Caribbean's vulnerability to hurricanes, the Hurricane Preparedness Manual is an essential publication. Available for downloading in the members-only section.
