PM Harris Urges Communities to Assist Elderly and Most Vulnerable as Tropical Storm Approaches

(ZIZ News) — Prime Minister the Honourable Dr. Timothy Harris, who is en route to the Federation from an official visit to the Republic of China (Taiwan), took a moment to encourage communities to come together and help each other; in particular the elderly and most vulnerable.

He said, “As you plan for your families, and prepare your property against potential damage from high winds etcetera, I encourage you to look out for your neighbours, the elderly and the most vulnerable families and persons in our communities.”

He said the country has not had significant rain for months, and the possibility exists that there will be flash flooding.

He urged everyone to exercise caution, stay indoors during the passage of the weather system and avoid the temptation for sightseeing afterwards.

Prime Minister Harris said he has been in constant contact with Acting Prime Minister, Hon. Shawn Richards and the Cabinet and has received the hurricane briefs and national preparedness briefings with regards to the Federation’s posture for the oncoming weather condition.
