CABINET VISITS $18M JIMMIT EMERGENCY SHELTER Prime Minister Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit led a cabinet delegation through the construction site of an 18 million dollar Regional Emergency Shelter located in Jimmit on Tuesday, May 4 2021, as Government continues its mandate to build the world’s first climate resilient nation. An agreement was signed between the Government of Dominica and the National Authorizing Office (NAO) on behalf of the European Union Development Fund at 32 million dollars for the construction of two regional hurricane shelters in Jimmit and Castle Bruce. “We decided as a country that to enhance our preparedness and also our ability to respond to natural disasters, we needed to build regional emergency shelters in some strategic locations across the country. We may not be able to have one in every community but we will have centralized facilities to prove that much needed shelter in anticipation and preparation of a natural disaster,” PM Skerrit stated.
