The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center believes that there will be an above-normal hurricane season this year due to climate conditions. Hurricane season in the Atlantic officially began June 1 and ends Nov. 1, though storms can and do occur year-round. Recent hurricanes have left citizens abroad in dangerous situations without proper transportation or security. When such a situation occurs, the U.S. State Department relies heavily on commercial airlines for transportation. The State Department advises travelers planning to visit areas prone to hurricanes to pack emergency supplies in a waterproof kit.
