Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Desmond McKenzie, says Disaster Committees across the island have been activated to respond to emergency situations that might result from Hurricane Elsa, now in the eastern Caribbean.
He is appealing to residents in flood-prone areas to pay attention to bulletins issued by the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM), and the Meteorological Service Branch (Met Service).
“Don’t wait until you are impacted. The ODPEM will, over the next couple of days, open a number of lines, so that if persons are in need of assistance they can call to get information,” the Minister said while speaking in Port Maria, St. Mary, on July 1.
