Prime Minister Gaston Browne continues to monitor the progress of that dangerous hurricane named Erin as it makes its way towards the Caribbean.

This morning, the Met Office provided an update to all Cabinet members via Zoom, utilizing its own broadcast studio. This afternoon, the Met Office updated its forecast, cautioning the Antigua and Barbuda people to be prepared.

The Prime Minister has joined in the chorus of reasonable voices, asking “all residents of Antigua and Barbuda to be prepared and to take nothing for granted.”

While not present in Antigua at this time, the Prime Minister has not relented in his attention to the hurricane that threatens the country and all small island-developing States that are a part of the Caribbean archipelago.

“I wish us to stand together, as we have historically done in the face of these natural disasters, and to place on high alert the CDEMA (the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency), in the event the hurricane changes its path and heads south,” the Prime Minister asserted.

The Prime Minister remains hopeful and optimistic, believing that our prayers to the Most High will be heard, and that our small island-developing State will not be adversely affected by Erin. All are asked to pay close attention to the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Office announcements.
