Evacuation plan in place Social Share by LYF COMPTON
RESIDENTS OF AREAS earmarked to be evacuated should La Soufriere become explosive have been assured that this will be done in a safe and effective manner.
The public is also asked to desist from spreading false information, but instead look to reputable sources like the National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) for word on the volcano.
Parliamentary representative for North Leeward Carlos James spoke to SEARCHLIGHT yesterday, days after a red glow from the volcano on Saturday night flung residents of North Leeward and other areas into a state of panic.
Some persons from the area packed their bags and were ready to leave although no evacuation order had been given. The panic was fueled by social media broadcasts that falsely said the red glow meant that the eruption taking place at La Soufriere had become explosive.
