The Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory, so there is no British Embassy, and the Cayman Islands authorities will support you if you need help.
Hurricane Melissa
We are closely monitoring Hurricane Melissa. We advise those in the Cayman Islands to monitor local and international weather updates, including from the Cayman Islands Weather Forecast Service Provider - CINWS and the US National Hurricane Centre, and follow the guidance of local authorities. British nationals on package holidays should contact their travel provider for advice.
Those in Cayman should also register with the National Emergency Notification System (NENS), the Hazard Management Cayman Islands’ emergency alert tool for further updates.
