Barbados’ emergency personnel remain at the ready to continue lending assistance to St Vincent and the Grenadines following the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano last Friday.
La Soufriere spewed forth her wrath after remaining dormant for 42 years. Immediately, members of the Barbados Coast Guard from two offshore patrol vessels, the HMBS Leonard C. Banfield and the HMBS Rudyard Lewis, sprang into action as part of the Regional Security Systems Humanitarian Relief, and made a voyage that delivered seven tonnes of supplies to St Vincent and the Grenadines.
