It would be about 5 days if anything extraordinary is done. And the people would be notified. It would be a waste of time, money and resources to implement measures now for a situation that doesn't exist and only requires monitoring.

See you next week!
Here in So. Florida everyone is going through a bunch of angst worrying about devastation like Harvey in Texas but still not doing anything to prepare for a possible Cat 4 Irma approaching. Yesterday is looked a little iffy and today it is looking better and the storm is still over a week away if it did hit.

I was in Negril for the Matthew fizzle and that storm was a lot closer. It seems to me that Jamaicans (like So. Floridians) do very little preparation until the last minute.

Just my opinion
