Instrument Technician at the Dominica Meteorological Service, Ashar Bryan, has raised concerns over the recent vandalism of the company’s equipment on the island.<\/p>\n
She was a guest on\u00a0the\u00a0\u2018Disaster and You\u2019\u00a0program on state-owned Radio DBS this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did have an incident in most recent times at Concord. So, we have a Water Level Centre on the Bailey Bridge to Concord on the way to Horseback Ridge,\u201d she said. And most recently, we had somebody damaging the solar panel, so it is still working. However, they smashed the glass on the solar panel, I am guessing with rocks or something.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cI do not want to make assumptions, but I am hoping it is not children that are doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bryan appealed to the general public to educate themselves, as well as their children, \u201cespecially when you see equipment that you are not sure of what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, she pointed out that having this equipment in the strategic areas,\u201d is not for my sake, it is for the sake of everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bryan explained that if the equipment is damaged, the data they provide to the Meteorological Service to help the public as an early warning system will no longer be available,\u201d to inform you early enough that something is happening… time for, if you are in the area, you would need to make your preparations and move.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Instrument Technician at the Dominica Meteorological Service, Ashar Bryan, has raised concerns over the recent vandalism of the company’s equipment on the island.
