During an update to the nation and press briefing, Prime Minister Honourable Allen Chastanet announced that Saint Lucia will accept a number of evacuees and the Government through the National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) would welcome Saint Lucians who are able to assist, by opening up their homes, to register their interest or ability.

The UWI Seismic Research Centre and the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) have confirmed that there was a large explosion at the La Soufriere Volcano at approximately 4:15 am on Monday.
The volcano dome has since collapsed, and according to NEMO, pyroclastic flows can now be seen along the valleys on the eastern and western coasts.
In a bulletin issued at 6 pm on Sunday, NEMO said the seismic network recorded short episodes of high-amplitude seismic tremor, each lasting around 20 minutes and with gaps between them from one to six hours.
The episodes appeared to coincide with periods of enhanced venting or explosive activity. The background level of seismic tremor between the episodes has been increasing slowly since about 10:30 am on Sunday.
Power and water outages hit St Vincent after volcanic eruption Monday, April 12, 2021
ST JOHN S, Antigua and Barbuda (AFP) Massive power outages struck the Caribbean island of St Vincent before dawn yesterday, as officials recorded more explosive activity at a long-dormant volcano that launched into a series of eruptions.
After remaining quiet for nearly 42 years, La Soufriere rumbled back into life Friday, blanketing the island in ash and permeating the air with the stench of sulphur.
The eruptions prompted thousands to flee for safety, with around 16,000 people living in areas under evacuation orders.
The country s National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) noted “another explosive event” early yesterday morning with the “majority of the country out of power and covered in ash”.
