British Virgin Islands
In promoting disaster awareness and preparedness in the Territory, the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) has produced a new and improved Community Disaster Preparedness Guide.
The new Guide contains practical information on preparing and recovery from the effects of disaster events which may affect the Territory. It includes hazard-specific safety tips and information on personal, family, business and community preparedness and protection.
Upon receiving the first copy, Governor Boyd McCleary said “I am impressed by the quality and content of this book. It contains topics that are extremely relevant to all of us in the Virgin Islands.”
On Thursday 10th May the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) hosted a stakeholder consultation to develop standardized procedures and guidelines for managing incidents involving large marine passenger vessels.
