Barbadians urged to be prepared
Article by July 1, 2021
As the island prepares for the passage of Tropical Storm Elsa, Barbadians are being urged to be prepared.
Minister of Home Affairs, Information and Public Affairs, Wilfred Abrahams, made the plea, during a press conference and update on Tropical Storm Elsa at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre earlier this afternoon.
In light of the recent “freak storm”, Minister Abrahams noted the “fragility” of properties on the island. “We are expecting sustained storm force winds, sustained winds in excess of the winds that we would have had a week and a half ago, so people need to look around their houses; make themselves as prepared as they can be; pick up all the loose objects that can become missiles; clear the drains. If you have a well on your property clear the waterways, and just make yourself as prepared as you can be,” he pleaded.
