• What does the word warning imply about the immediacy and seriousness of the threat compared to a watch or outlook? • By the time an official hurricane warning is issued, what actions should already be underway on a properly managed vessel? • Which answers reflect decisive seamanship versus delaying action to gather more information?

✅ Before You Answer

• Clarify the difference between a hurricane watch and a hurricane warning in terms of timing and urgency • Decide whether a prudent master should already be secured for heavy weather and altering course when a warning comes, or only starting to plan • Identify which options show proactive storm avoidance rather than waiting for further briefings or instructions
