Maples and Calder's Cayman Islands office continues to set the standard for the effective use of social media via the launch of the MaplesHEP twitter page. With the very first tweet débuting in advance of Tropical Storm Ernesto, the firm successfully launched its page in early August.

In addition to a dedicated phone line, through which staff can receive timely messages about the status of potential office closings, the twitter page was created to offer a forum for notices on storms in the Cayman area that might be disruptive, according to forecasts and projections. The site is picking up steam and is expected to be an excellent resource for the Maples Hurricane Committee as and when it is needed.
