With the de­c­la­ra­tion of the start of the wet sea­son yes­ter­day and with the hur­ri­cane sea­son be­gin­ning on June 1, the To­ba­go Emer­gency Man­age­ment Agency (TEMA) is seek­ing to get the To­ba­go pop­u­la­tion ready in the event of nat­ur­al dis­as­ters.

Res­i­dents on the is­land have been im­pact­ed in re­cent years by land­slides and slip­pages, blocked roads, blown-off roofs and oc­ca­sion­al flood­ing.

In light of this, TEMA of­fi­cials were on the streets of Scar­bor­ough in re­cent days shar­ing dis­as­ter in­for­ma­tion with the pub­lic.

TEMA's cor­po­rate com­mu­ni­ca­tions of­fi­cer Zy­nara Llewellyn said the dri­ve is to en­sure res­i­dents are pre­pared.
