U.S. State Department Travel Alert – South Pacific Cyclone Season
Posted on December 16th, 2011 by Rory Rawson | Tags: Cyclone, South Pacific, Travel Alert
The U.S. State Department has issued a new travel alert warning citizens residing in or traveling to the South Pacific about the ongoing threat of tropical cyclones affecting the area. The South Pacific Tropical Cyclone Season begins November 1st and ends April 30 and travelers to the region should monitor local weather reports and take precautionary action, as necessary.
This alert replaces the one issued on December 1, 2011 for technical edits.
Those living or traveling in the South Pacific may find their travel limited due to infrastructure damage to airports and limited flight availability. In some situations roads have been washed out or blocked by debris and you may not be able to depart an affected area for 24-48 hours or more, particularly in hard-hit regions with already limited air service.
Review tropical cyclone preparation guidelines from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Review the complete travel alert for more information.
