While the go ahead has been given to residents of communities in the Orange zone to return home, access to the Red zone remains restricted due to the dangerous threat of lahars.
Because this threat may continue for some time, scientists have advised that certain measures be put in place to safeguard lives, livelihoods and property of persons who occupy the Red zone.
“The best protection is to stay out of the valleys, don’t put any kind of major assets in it because of the fact that, in the case of St Vincent, it’s going to happen so fast that it’s difficult to provide a warning,” geologist, Professor Richard Robertson said on Wednesday during VC3’s Round Table Talk programme.
