Dominica - Pratical information

Most visits to Dominica are trouble-free but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

Cases of robbery and crime do occur.

The hurricane season in Dominica normally runs from June to November.

Dengue Fever is endemic to Latin America and the Caribbean and can occur throughout the year. There was a marked increase in the number of reported cases of dengue across the region in 2007. There is no vaccine to prevent dengue fever, which has severe flu-like symptoms and can sometimes be fatal (Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever).
