What Most People Get Wrong About Hurricane Season

Hurricane season is about more than watching the weather and rushing for supplies at the last minute. Too often, the biggest risks come from what people misunderstand, overlook, or leave too late.
In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, Fabian Belgrave and Sharifa Medford-Gilkes take a closer look at what most people get wrong about hurricane season — from practical preparedness and emergency response to the emotional strain these events can place on individuals and families.
Joining the conversation are Deputy Chief Fire Officer Henderson Patrick of the Barbados Fire Service, Major Robert Harewood, Deputy Director DEM, and Dr. Ayodele Harper, counselling psychologist.
Together, they explore the common mistakes people make before, during, and after storms, the mental and emotional impact of disaster situations, and why true preparedness is about far more than checking a weather update.
This is a timely conversation about readiness, resilience, and how to approach hurricane season with clearer thinking and better habits.
