Wearing of mask is critical.<\/p>\n<p>People with respiratory illnesses are advised to take the necessary precautions to minimize complications.<\/p>\n<p>Sea users\/ Marine users may be required to stay in port during reduced visibility, particularly if your GPS is not in use on your vessels. Livestock owners, check that livestock have enough food and water. You may need to shelter livestock during ashfall. If you must drive during reduced visibility, drive slowly. You may need to use car headlights. Do not use the car&#8217;s ventilation system.<\/p>\n<p>The public is advised to be on alert and to closely monitor for updates from the Dominica Meteorological Service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp; Valid from: 6:00 PM on Saturday, April 10th, 2021 THE ERUPTION OF LA SOUFRIERE Volcano IN ST.
