VITEMA to Distribute Atlantic Hurricane Tracking Maps for 2021

Hurricane Map (Submitted by VITEMA)

Beginning May 10, the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency (VITEMA) will be distributing 6,000 free Hurricane Tracking Maps for use by the public, on all four U.S. Virgin Islands. This is the 11th year VITEMA has provided this service in observance of National Hurricane Preparedness Week, which runs from May 9-15.

The paper maps are an excellent tracking tool to monitor approaching storm systems and their proximity to the USVI. As with any major storm related event, VITEMA will provide daily updates on multiple social media platforms as well as the VITEMA website at www.vitema.vi.gov as to a storm’s location.

Hurricane tracking maps may be found at the following locations:
