‘Be ready for natural disasters’
Apr 30, 2013
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Citizens must make themselves ready to deal with disasters and not depend on the Government, head of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM), Dr Stephen Ramroop, said yesterday.
Ramroop was speaking at the eighth session of the Inter-Governmental Coordination Group for the Tsunami and other Coastal Hazards Warning System for the Caribbean, at Capital Plaza in Port of Spain.
The sessions are designed to better prepare the region to cope with such disasters, as the Caribbean currently relies on the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre for information on tsunamis and coastal warnings.
