We actually had a radio on our list, but after some research found the one local radio station is in Spanish and they speak waaay too fast for us to understand. In Feb 2022, English speaking Land’s End Radio began “transmitting”, but is only available online. This past summer, an Expat group formed an emergency services “Help Line” through WhatsApp, where non-Spanish speaking people can reach out for help and those looking after this will reach out in Spanish to the appropriate service you need, be it police, fire or ambulance etc. Of course if cellular goes down, then that won’t work either. We do have great neighbours in our community here, and everyone looks out for one another to make sure all is okay.

We can’t possibly see all the potential circumstances, but coming from an informed perspective can help ease the anxiety. Sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know until we have the lived experience. Good luck with the tropical weather 🌴💨🌴💨🌴

As exciting as it is to read, it must be stressful as hell when it’s actually happening to ya! I couldn’t handle the 35C heat with no AC.

Love your posts Shari! Hope all is well!
