Cayman Islands to Remain Vigilant as Chinese Rocket Re-enters Atmosphere
Grand Cayman, 29 July 2022 – Residents may be aware that an empty Chinese rocket body is expected to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere tomorrow Saturday 30 July possibly beginning around 1:39 PM. It will be an uncontrolled re-entry and so it is difficult to predict exactly when re-entry will occur and therefore in general what areas may possibly be affected. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has told government officials that the risk to Overseas Territories remains extremely low, however the precise location, length and size of debris and the debris field is not known.
Hazard Management Cayman Islands is urging residents to be mindful this weekend as they go about activities and remain attentive to alert channels such as caymanprepared.ky and gov.ky which will be updated if any further information becomes available.
