Is Barbados Ready To Respond To A Disaster?

A top government official says that question is best answered not by the Department of Emergency Management, but by each Barbadian after reflecting on their own state of preparedness.

That was the message from head of the D.E.M, Judy Thomas, as she addressed the congregation at the St. Matthias Anglican Church, during a service to mark the beginning of the 2008 hurricane season.

It's with that in mind, that Ms Thomas has encouraged Barbadians to join and actively participate in the District Emergency Organisations in their neighbourhoods.
