St. John: The month of September is known as the most active month during hurricane season. The police department advises the St. John community to be careful when driving on flooded roadways and to avoid being outside or in high areas when it’s lightening. Residents of the eastern part of the island are advised to monitor weather conditions closely in the event of road closures. If you need any assistance for an emergency, please call 911 immediately.
