Natural disasters that strike some regions of the world can create a lot of anxiety, fear and loss of hope for many people, and will certainly involve more people who are close to the disaster area. Things are more difficult and sad is a natural disaster struck in the middle while you're in the holiday season.

You certainly know the events of natural disasters, storms in the Caribbean region, earthquakes in Mexico, forest fires in North America, and volcanoes in the stomach of Mount Agung in Bali, Indonesia.

Let's say the tourists, as featured on CNN Indonesia, September 23, have been there, of course there is panic in the group of tourists, this has brought a long lasting sense of luck. There must be anticipatory measures, understanding the situation and how to find a way out.

The other reviews on Travel and Leisure can be a reference for tourists who will already travel to areas that have been affected by natural disasters.

No need to cancel vacation

You may have made a plan after a natural disaster has occurred, the step taken is to seek information about the latest conditions in the tourist destination.

You can see carefully the disastrous situation in the Caribbean region, as well as Puerto Rico that can not be visited until next year. But. Perhaps the area nearby, the Bahamas and Jamaica are recovering. Of course the holidays need not be canceled.

Know when the disaster season occurs

No need to have excessive worry when you know and realize the natural disaster must happen every year in certain areas of the world. You can have complete information before you book a travel package, especially if you already know the season of disaster usually occurs in the destination area.

There are many wishes for a vacation in the Caribbean Islands, especially after finding out if it is cheaper in September, it is not a popular month for tourists.

But. If you understand the situation, there is always the possibility of areas of the islands will be hit by strong winds during the month.

You know the rest of the holiday, like the gust of strong winds that always strike from Texas to Ohio all through April, or forest fires that hit Montana and Oregon in the summer.

The best step is to have a positive attitude, do not panic! Definitely, especially you have decided to take a vacation, and prepare a backup plan, so not too worried when to be stranded.

Traveling is part of a unique experience, and always surprising!
