 I'm Dr. Robert Morgan, Permanent Secretary based at the Ministry of Technology, Communication and Innovation in Mauritius. Our office is based in Aben at the SICOM Tower. The holding of this seminar today is crucial because Mauritius, a small island developing state, is facing huge hardships in terms of natural calamities. So this workshop comes at an opportune time where we can, together with other stakeholders, both locally, nationally, internationally, we can sort out a course of action on how to address these emergency disasters.
