KINGSTON, Jamaica, Observer – JAMAICANS are being urged to plan ahead for the 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Season, which is expected to see the Caribbean facing at least one major hurricane. Acting Director of the National Meteorological Service, Jeffrey Spooner, said this is based on projections of Colorado State University, which has — for the first time in a long while — indicated that the Caribbean is “in line” for a hit from a major hurricane. Spooner was speaking on Wednesday, at a function to declare May as Hurricane and Disaster Preparedness Month, at the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) in New Kingston.
