Grenada hurricane guide

The National Disaster Management Agency (NaDMA) coordinates all disaster work on Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, and the government calls it the official source for real time weather and emergency alerts. Disaster management sits under the Ministry of National Security, Home Affairs, Public Administration, Information and Disaster Management. Ambulances are called by hospital, so learn the number for your island before a storm. Hurricane season normally runs from June to November.

Evacuation centers

Open only when announced

Evacuation centers open only when officials announce them, and not every center opens for every storm. Check the official list of open centers before you leave home. Bring your own bedding, food, water, and medicines.

Emergency shelters open only when officials announce them. The government's most recent published list of emergency shelters, made by NaDMA for 2024 to 2025, names shelters in each parish and in Carriacou and Petite Martinique, so you can find the nearest one before a storm. Follow NaDMA for which shelters are open.
