 St. Lucia stands among a number of territories ready to assist St. Vincent and the Grenadines as signs of the impending eruption of its La Soufière volcano increase. A swarm of volcanic quakes from 23rd to 26th March and subsequent small low-frequency events have been associated with the growth of the lava dome, an infusive eruption with visible gas. St. Vincent's alert level remains at orange, and local authorities encourage residents, especially persons living in communities close to the volcano, to be prepared in the event that it becomes necessary to evacuate at short notice. The National Emergency Management Organization NEMO in St. Lucia confirms that St. Vincent and the Grenadines has asked neighboring countries that pledge support to prepare to receive evacuees. The shelters that they would be accessing would be treated as quarantine shelters. So they would not be able to go out and mingle with the locals on arrival. They will do the necessary quarantine period. The screening will be done with them. We have also worked with Slasper and the Ministry of Health in terms of when they actually arrive on island, the ports of entries, the screening, et cetera, the transportation from the ports, whichever port is used, to the shelters. Plans are also underway to facilitate locals should St. Lucia be impacted by last year in St. Vincent. When it last erupted in 1979, Ashfall was reported in the south of St. Lucia. St. Lucia is at risk for Ashfall, results as air quality issues, and to a lesser extent tsunami. We have looked at the PI secondary and the Blasher primary. The Blasher primary would be our first point, our priority for evacuation, followed by the PI secondary, and if needs be, we will fall back on the Stanley John Audlum secondary. The Blasher primary is used as a priority because we know that some people have a lot of respiratory issues. So we want to take them as far out of the zone as possible where they will not be affected. The Ashfall is likely to compromise people's health issues. It will cause air quality issues. Nemo will make available to the public the contact information for the district disaster committees should they have any queries about community mobilization efforts.
