The eruption of La Soufriere volcano in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) last Thursday was long-awaited and expected, but its effects could not have been predicted, ash clouds flying high and spreading as far as Barbados.
The evacuation was planned and though initially chaotic, improved with time and better management.
Following the Red Flag from The UWI’s Seismic Research Centre (SRC), national emergency units in neighboring islands (like Saint Lucia’s NEMO) sprang into action advising residents about how to protect themselves, while Health authorities also had to prepare for arrival of evacuees.
