Bahamas Update After Hurricane Dorian

This summer, Hurricane Dorian’s path of destruction through The Bahamas occupied top new spots. Weeks later, we look at how to help the storm-torn area, much of which actually remains either slightly-affected or unscathed.

While the northern Bahamas – Abaco and Grand Bahama – experienced serious destruction, according to Rachel Knowles of The Nassau Guardian, “as a country, the Bahamas shouldn’t look, as a whole, super different.”

How to Help

Travel writer Lea Lane, wrote in Forbes that we should do 2 things to help: DONATE to recovery efforts and PLAN TO TRAVEL to The Bahamas.

Recovery Efforts

On September 23rd, Travel Weekly reported an update given by the Grand Bahama tourism board. Recovery efforts have “shifted into high gear” on Grand Bahama Island.

Abaco residents are also hopeful about their recovery post Hurricane Dorian. We send our hopes and prayers to all those who have been effected by the category 5 hurricane.
