Bahamas publishes an official 2026 hurricane shelter directory
The Disaster Risk Management Authority provides a seven-page official 2026 hurricane shelter list, organised by island with shelter names, addresses and listed capacities.
Use the downloadable official list rather than assuming every section of the accompanying web directory is complete.
What changed
The directory gives households a concrete planning resource for identifying shelter locations before evacuation becomes necessary.
Who this is for
Households planning where to shelter in The Bahamas.
What the official guidance says
- Identify relevant locations in the official PDF and check current instructions from the DRM Authority before travelling.
Dates & context
This is a standing 2026 planning resource, not a current evacuation instruction or confirmation that a listed shelter is open. The webpage displays an ambiguous numeric update date, so no exact publication date is assigned here.
