Kingstown – The lead scientist monitoring the La Soufrière volcano, Professor Richard Robertson, Monday described as “dotish” and not an act of bravery, the decision by a man to climb the erupting volcano on Sunday.
“It is absolutely foolish . . . it is absolutely dotish to do that. People talk about bravery and to me somebody is brave when you are aware of the risks that you put yourself through because of some positive job or they need to contribute to society in a fundamental way and you still take the action to save your family or something like that,” Robertson told listeners to the state-owned NBC Radio.

Magum resident devastated and saddened by what he saw post eruption
Left to Right: OMARI HOYTE & ZIMROY PETERS Social Share Deep in the red zone in Windward communities of the Soufriere volcano, is like watching a scary movie in black and white.
Trees bowed over from the weight of ash, cars and houses covered in ash, rivers stagnated by ashfall, collapsed roofs, stray animals, dead livestock, people fleeing and some still refusing to leave…all in the midst of a belching ash- spewing volcano.
“My uncle and few others in Sandy Bay say they not moving,” Sandy Bay resident Omari Hoyte told SEARCHLIGHT while standing on an ash covered road in Magum on Sunday.

An appeal has been made for the United Nations Security Council to assist with this country’s Volcano Relief Effort, in response to the explosive eruption of La Soufriere Volcano.
Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves made the call as he addressed a High Level Open Debate of the United Nations Security Council this morning.
The Prime Minister spoke on the topic:
Enhancing Co-operation between the United Nations and Regional and Sub-regional Organisations, in Enhancing Confidence-Building and Dialogue in Conflict Prevention and Resolution
.
He said this subject is of immediate relevance to St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the context of a massive natural disaster.
