VITEMA to Distribute Atlantic Hurricane Tracking Maps Beginning May 8

Atlantic Hurricane Tracking Maps (Submitted map)

The Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency (VITEMA) will begin distributing 6,000 free Hurricane Tracking Maps for use by the public beginning May 8 on all four U.S. Virgin Islands. This is the 13th year VITEMA has provided this service in observance of National Hurricane Preparedness Week which runs from April 15 to May 6.

The paper maps are an excellent tracking tool to monitor approaching storm systems and their proximity to the USVI. As with any major storm-related event, VITEMA will provide daily updates on multiple social media platforms as well as the VITEMA website at www.vitema.vi.gov as to a storm’s location.
