HURRICANE & TYPHOON SEASON 2015 - Message for U.S. Citizens from the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica

Seal with blue background

The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the Hurricane and Typhoon Seasons in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane and Typhoon Season will last through November 2015, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recommends that those in hurricane- and typhoon-prone regions begin preparations for the upcoming seasons now.  This Travel Alert expires on December 1, 2015.

The Atlantic Basin, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea:  Hurricane Season in the Atlantic began June 1.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center  expects to see a near-normal or below-normal hurricane season this year with a 70 percent chance of a below-normal season, a 20 percent chance of a near-normal season, and only a 10 percent chance of an above-normal season.  NOAA predicts a likely development of El Nino during the summer or early fall and a 70 percent chance of 6 to 11 named storms, which includes TS Ana that formed in May.  Of those, three to six storms are predicted to strengthen to a hurricane (with top winds of 74 mph or higher) and one to two are expected to become major hurricanes (with top winds of 111 mph or higher, ranking Category 3, 4, or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale).  NOAA recommends that those in hurricane-prone regions begin preparations for the upcoming season now.

The Eastern Pacific:  Hurricane season in the Eastern Pacific began on May 15.  NOAA expects a near- or above-normal season, with a 70 percent chance of an above-normal season, a 25 percent chance of a near-normal season, and a 5 percent chance of a below normal season.  NOAA predicts a 70 percent chance of 15 to 22 named storms, of which seven to twelve are expected to become hurricane strength.  Of those, five to eight are expected to become major hurricanes (Category 3, 4, or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale). 

Western and Central Pacific:  Typhoon season in the Western and Central Pacific began on June 1. NOAA’s Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) predicts a 70 percent change of an above normal season, a 25 percent chance of a near-normal season, and a 5 percent chance of a below-normal season.  CPHC expects five to eight tropical cyclones to affect the central Pacific this season.  For information on typhoon warnings, please consult the  Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Honolulu, the National Weather Service's Central Pacific Hurricane Center, and the  Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) Tokyo - Typhoon Center.

During and after some previous storms, U.S. citizens traveling abroad encountered dangerous and often uncomfortable conditions that lasted for several days while awaiting transportation back to the United States.  In the past, many U.S. citizens were forced to delay travel (including return travel to the United States) due to infrastructure damage to airports and limited flight availability.  Roads were also washed out or obstructed by debris, adversely affecting access to airports and land routes out of affected areas.  Reports of looting and sporadic violence in the aftermath of natural disasters have occurred.  Security personnel may not always be readily available to assist.  In the event of a hurricane, travelers should be aware that they may not be able to depart the area for 24-48 hours or longer.

If you live in or travel to these areas during the hurricane or typhoon season, we recommend you obtain travel insurance to cover unexpected expenses during an emergency.  If a situation requires an evacuation from an overseas location, the U.S. Department of State may work with commercial airlines to ensure that U.S. citizens can depart as safely and efficiently as possible.  Commercial airlines are the Department's primary source of transportation in an evacuation; other means of transport are utilized only as a last resort, are often more expensive, and will provide you with fewer destination options.  U.S. law requires that any evacuation costs are your responsibility.  For those in financial need, the U.S. Department of State has the authority to provide crisis evacuation and repatriation loans.  For more information, please visit the Emergencies Abroad page on our website, http://www.travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/emergencies.html.   

If you live in or are traveling to storm-prone regions, prepare for hurricanes and tropical storms by organizing a kit in a waterproof container that includes a supply of bottled water, non-perishable food items, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, any medications taken regularly, and vital documents (especially your passport and other identification).  Emergency shelters often provide only very basic resources and may have limited medical and food supplies.  NOAA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have additional tips on their websites,http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/prepare/ready.phpand http://www.ready.gov/hurricanes.

Monitor local radio, local media, and the National Weather Service to be aware of weather developments.  Minor tropical storms can develop into hurricanes very quickly, limiting the time available for a safe evacuation.  Inform family and friends of your whereabouts and remain in close contact with your tour operator, hotel staff, transportation providers (airlines, cruise lines, etc.), and local officials for evacuation instructions during a weather emergency.

We strongly encourage U.S. citizens to enroll with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate through the U.S. Department of State's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)By enrolling, you will receive the most recent security and safety updates during your trip.  Enrollment also ensures that you can be reached during an emergency.  While we will do our utmost to assist you in a crisis, be aware that local authorities bear primary responsibility for the welfare of people living or traveling in their jurisdictions.

Additional information on hurricanes and storm preparedness can be found on the Department’s  "Hurricane Season - Know Before You Go"  webpage. You can get updated information on travel to your destination from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 within the United States and Canada or, from outside the United States and Canada, 1-202-501-4444. We also encourage you to check the Country Specific Information  and the  website of the U.S. embassy or consulate  with consular responsibilities for the territory you will be visiting. Follow us on   Twitter  and become a fan of the Bureau of Consular Affairs’ page on  Facebook  as well.

They are in need of Spanish novels and kids books.



Objetivo principal:
Proveer a los habitantes de Puriscal, acceso gratuito a diferentes tipos de libros, para fortalecer el desarrollo cultural y apreciación por la literatura del pueblo Puriscaleño, a través de un sistema de intercambio de libros.

WRITERS GROUPS • WRITING GROUPS in Costa Rica in English - & Writers Resources - Are YOU a Writer / Wanna-be Writer?


Costa Rica seems to be breeding grounds for aspiring and published writers - but it can be a lonely road & challenging to keep focused.  To say nothing about not being sure if what you have works or doesn't.  That's why many writers get involved with

WRITERS GROUPS
or sites for writers!!


I've started a list of Writers Groups in English - so I'm sure that means they're mainly ExPats.

And I'm on a quest to find more groups which I'll share below and you PLEASE add more!!

NOTARY • LAWYER with LOW•Cheap Rates & OPEN Evenings, Saturdays & Sundays - in Escazu, Costa Rica - FLOR de MORENO MORA

(L-R - Flor and doTerra's Adele Notarizing some documents!)
NOTARY • LAWYER • ABOGADO

FLOR de MORENO Mora

FLOR de MORENO Mora is a NOTARY which UN-like in the U.S., a "NOTARY" in Costa Rica is a HIGHER form of a Lawyer • Abogado who has completed additional 2 years of training and are certified specifically as Notaries.  They are who you OFTEN MUST use to get LOTS of things done around here (hence you get to spend MUCH more $$$/colones to get things done in Costa Rica)(how DIFFERENT that is from the U.S.!!)!!


A few years ago I had her notarize some U.S. Inheritance Papers (never got anything from it - booo!!) for me (MEGA EASY) plus Adele to Flor at 7pm on a Friday evening to do Car Transfer papers (a bit complicated) and both times she charged just 10,000-colones (about $20 [NOTE rates have I'm sure gone up but )!!!   One guy DESPERATELY NEEDED some documents signed on a Sunday and she was there for him!!!

Plus she is REALLY SWEET!!! 

LANGUAGE:  
Flor does NOT SPEAK much English but I think she understands a LOT more than she lets on!
(Don't speak much Español?   Bring a friend - or have an English/Spanish speaking taxi driver bring you.  NOTE if you use them for anything more than a Point A to Point B ride, PLEASE be VERY GENEROUS with your tip to them and or ask what their hourly rate would be to help you!!
See my list of English-Speaking Taxi Drivers at: 
LivingLifeInCostaRica.blogspot.com/2012/08/EnglishSpeakingTaxisCR.html
RATES:
Rates vary by what she is doing and how long it takes but I can tell you, she had the CHEAPEST rates of any Notary I've encounters•heard of!!!.

HOURS:  
Since she works from her house she is often available when others are not including evenings, Saturdays AND Sundays for emergencies!

LOCATION:  
Escazu (Centro)
a couple blocks West of the Beacon Hotel (she'll give you directions when you make an appointment)


CONTACT:

NOTE:
If you find someone who's services you like, PLEASE do NOT hoard their information to yourself (often I find people are like this because they're afraid of them not having access to their service if/when they may need it again one day - or because they're afraid their prices will go up if they get busy -
BUT -
what most likely will happen is they may HAVE to closer their business - because people did not share their info!!!)

FEMALE OB GYN in Costa Rica (that speaks GOOD English & has a good bedside manner)

I find it odd how MANY male OB-GYN's there are in the world.  I tend to normally favor male doctors (no particular reason other than it just happens like that a lot) but when it comes to gynecological issues, I don't get gals going to a male doctor because as much as I don't like to separate gender - there is NO WAY a guy can REALLY GET what I'm talking about when I talk about a certain pain, etc. "down there" - just like it's hard for us to get the pain they feel when they get kicked in the balls - right??  There's NO WAY he can "get" the concept of a Hot Flash or cramps now can he???

So I ONLY go to FEMALE DOCTORS for my pap smears, GYN Exams, Breast Exams or anything else dealing with female issues!!

This is a good FEMALE OB - GYN doctor at CIMA that speaks good ENGLISH, is VERY thorough, answers questions and has a good bedside manner.  I have been to her before and have shared her information with MANY people and EVERYONE's RAVED about her!!


PRICES:
Consultation  -  40,000
GYN Exam•Pap  -  50,000-gyn exam
Ultra Sound (breasts)  -  25,000
Cash only. 

HOURS:
Mon.-Fri. - 10am-6pm

CONTACT:
Dr. Sae-Hui Kim

LOCATION:

FOUND DOG • PERRO ENCONTRADO - Black Labrador (Labrador negro?) (now to find the LOST FAMILY) in Pinares, CURRIDABAT area of Costa Rica



CURRIDABAT - FOUND DOG - KNOW ANYONE MISSING THIS SWEETIE?

I'm double checking to make sure he's still seeking his family but here is what was written about him (from what I'm putting together from TranslateGoogle).
"This precious pooch (I'm assuming it's a "he" because gender sometimes gets lost in translation) has been wandering the street in Pinares, CURRIDABAT for a few days, searching for his home. He even went up to Ligia Castro (who's seen him) & was affectionate, but he's still hanging around. He has nice hair (I guess indicating he's clean & not a street dog??) & when he sees a car stop he goes up to see who it is, as if he's waiting/looking for their owners.

Has anyone you know indicated they're a LOST FAMILY missing him? Does he look familiar?
 
I'm not sure if it's needed (sounds like it is), maybe someone can foster him till his family is found so he's not wandering the streets - fending for himself in the rain.

Maybe some of you have some time & can go on my

http://facebook.com/LovingYourPetHouseSitting
Where I have a couple hundred animal groups in my "Likes" and find groups to share it - or call some veterinarian offices to see if anyone's asked about him - or the vet has taken care of him over the years


PLEASE "SHARE" & if you know anything &/or can help -
Call Ligia at 8-391-9700

(when his family is found, can you please let me know so I can remove this from my blog)
