The Government is proposing to make a further amendment to the Catastrophe Fund Act, Prime Minister Mia Mottley announced Saturday.
During a news conference to update the country on the damage suffered as a result of the passage of Hurricane Elsa, the Prime Minister said it has been recognized that the legislation speaks to “actual damage”.
But she said Barbados is fighting battles globally about vulnerability as opposed to actual damage.
“And we’re fighting these battles because we say that no matter how far you think we’ve gone, we’re vulnerable. Vulnerable to Elsa. Dorian came and passed but we would have been vulnerable to [him] too,” Mottley said.
