The Tobago Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) has received an estimated $225,000, so far, towards its relief drive for volcano-hit St Vincent and the Grenadines.
The La Soufriere volcano erupted on April 9, some 42 years after its last explosion.
More than 16,000 Vincentians have since been evacuated and scientists monitoring the volcano are warning that further seismic activity is likely to continue.
Caricom countries, including TT, are assisting the island with its immediate needs through various humanitarian initiatives.

Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) deputy political leader Farley Augustine has warned that the newly formed Tobago House of Assembly (THA) alternative executive council will provide resources within communities despite “push back” within the divisions.
At a virtual news conference on Friday, Augustine announced the establishment of an alternative executive council to address the needs of Tobagonians until a solution to the six-six deadlock is determined.
The members of the council, comprising the PDP’s six assemblymen, have been assigned to the various divisions and are expected to begin work on Monday.
