With the Hurricane Season already started, residents of La Plaine are taking no chances.

Last Saturday, the La Plaine Disaster Preparedness Committee set its plan in motion for the season.

Under the leadership of chairman, Jason Fontaine, residents of the community got together to cut down trees and branches which may pose a threat during a hurricane.

“Without a perfect plan, there is no perfect recovery,” Fontaine said.

He said more activities are planned in the coming weeks.

    What about the trees overhanging in Citronier/Loubiere (lala coco/voice of life ) and all the other areas? Those where DOMLEC lines are in between and mangoes breaking vehicles windscreen. Who has to take care of those?
