Civic-minded entities stepping up in St Vincent

April 17, 2021 Regional and international agencies as well as corporate entities have wasted no time in rendering monetary and other assistance to St Vincent and the Grenadines which has been severely affected by eruptions from the La Soufriere volcano during the week. The European Union (EU) has mobilized €740,000 (EC$2.4 million) in emergency humanitarian aid to support those affected by the extremely damaging consequences of the volcano. Explosive eruptions started on April 9, prompting the local government to order an immediate evacuation of the most directly exposed areas. The pyroclastic flows descending downhill and the approximately 10km-high ash column, whose falling debris have covered villages, damaged the country’s electricity grid and disrupted the water supply.
