PAHO expresses concerns over Soufriére-related health hazards Social Share IN THE past two weeks, La Soufriere volcano has registered important seismic activity, with intensifying explosions in the last days. Continuous ash fall has been reported in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and other neighboring islands, including Barbados, St. Lucia and Grenada, which are at least 120 miles apart from St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
PAHO/WHO has deployed five public health experts to St. Vincent and the Grenadines and is responding to the emergency in coordination with the Ministry of Health.
This rising crisis has led to the evacuation of an estimated 20,000 people from the northern part of the main island, and 3800 of them staying in one of the 87 shelters activated by the National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO).

The National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) is informing the public that the unauthorized filming or taking of photos of persons will not be permitted in the emergency shelters.
NEMO says this decision was taken, in an effort to protect the rights, privacy and dignity of persons living in the emergency shelters.
It noted that officials are currently operating in a COVID-19 environment and in an effort to protect the persons living in the emergency shelters, all visitors to the emergency shelters must check with the security officers and await instructions.
NEMO is appealing to the public to co-operate, as various sectors work together to make the persons who have been evacuated comfortable and safe.
