Preparation in order for quakes, not fear – expert

Mar 08, 2013

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – A regional expert on earthquakes said residents should not fear the natural happening, but rather, prepare for its inevitable arrival.
Following the revelation that two minor earthquakes hit near to Antigua & Barbuda in the last two days, Director of the Seismic Research Centre at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad, Dr Joan Latchman, said residents should not be alarmed because Antigua & Barbuda has always exhibited a “high level” of activity.
“The fear today shouldn’t be changed because of two earthquakes,” Dr Latchman said in an interview with OBSERVER media. “I advise the people of the Caribbean that fear is not a constructive response.”
