<p>As in previous years, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) pre-positioned a naval ship
in the Caribbean at the beginning of the Hurricane season so as to be able to respond
quickly to any extreme weather event. Following the support she provided during Hurricanes
Irma and Maria, RFA Mounts Bay will remain in the region for the rest of the Hurricane
season. The MOD will be contributing to cross Whitehall work being led by the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office to consider proposals to increase the resilience of the UK's
Overseas Territories in the aftermath of extreme weather.</p>
