The Committee is chaired by the Minister responsible for Disaster Management and comprises representatives, including the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force, Saint Lucia Fire Service, Ministries responsible for Health, Wellness and Nutrition, Infrastructure, Housing and Physical Development, as well as other Ministries, Departments, statutory bodies and organisations nominated by the Minister.
The Prime Minister also received reports from various agencies, including the Saint Lucia Meteorological Services, Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition, the Saint Lucia Fire Service and the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO), all of which play critical roles in national disaster response and recovery efforts.
Prime Minister Pierre emphasised the importance of preparedness, inter-agency co-ordination and public vigilance as Saint Lucia navigates the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season. He commended the agencies represented for their ongoing work to strengthen national resilience and ensure the country is prepared to respond effectively to any emergency.
The Government of Saint Lucia continues to encourage all citizens and residents to review their family emergency plans, secure their properties and remain informed through official channels throughout the hurricane season.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
