The government has given the all clear signal and said work should resume with immediate effect as Hurricane Irma moves away from the island and a Tropical Storm Warning discontinued for Dominica.
However, schools remain closed and will open on Thursday.
“The Tropical Storm Warning issued for Dominica has been removed and as such, the government of Dominica has issued an all clear for Dominica,” Cecil Shillingford, Disaster Risk Consultant, stated on Wednesday morning.
He stated that it means work will resume with immediate effect.
He pointed out that those who are in shelters can return home and all shelters should be closed.
“Residents are asked to proceed with extreme caution when moving around today and the coming days, given that heavy rains and winds could have caused some instability,” Shillingford remarked. “Also we will continue to experience showers and high seas as Irma continues to move away.”
He cautioned fishermen from going out to sea and thanked all who ensured Dominica remained safe during the passage of Irma.
“Just to repeat, work will resume with immediate effect, that is from now, and schools will remain closed today and will reopen tomorrow, September 7,” Shillingford said.
The government had suspended work in the civil service at noon on Tuesday due to the passage of Irma.
Does anybody actually check the weather forecast before issuing such state,nets. Today is predicted to be the worst day. I hope people are safe going out in this wind and rain,
Thank you Lord,all lets pray for our brothers and sisters who were affected on the other islands.
Sorry but Cecil got that wrong again and Skerrit is not God.
What does your comment mean?The system is off Puerto Rico,we have to get back to work.Lazy,go do some work for your Country’s sake.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Thanks you Lord for sparing Dominica, Antigua, Guadeloupe and the other islands. We pray that His mercies endure for the duration of the passing of IRMA
this terrible storm.
God is the master of all storm.
Thanks you Jesus!
