A near-normal hurricane season is expected in 2019, but in A Familiar Walk’s Hurricane Preparedness 2019 television program airing Monday June 3rd at 8:35 p.m. on ZNS, Meteorologist Wayne Neely reminds Bahamians that it only takes one major hurricane to cause serious damage to the country’s archipelago.

In the program, Mr. Neely that in the past, when The Bahamas experienced a near normal hurricane season, the islands were still greatly affected.

Johnson Insurance Agents and Brokers are the Signature Sponsor of The Hurricane Preparedness Show, and Mr. Johnson speaks to the importance of the insurance industry and the company’s continued impact before, during and after the hurricane season.

“This year’s programme focused on residents being more resilient, as well as those important mitigating factors this hurricane season,” Newry said.
