Roseau, Dominica: In order to keep the spotlight on the importance of Preparedness throughout the 2021 Hurricane Season, Sagicor General Insurance Inc created a social media campaign in which they asked the public “What’s in your Go bag?”  Persons were invited to submit a list of the contents of their Go Bags. “Go Bags” contain items comprised of one’s  emergency checklist  to be kept on hand in case of emergency evacuation during a hurricane.

On completion of the competition, Tamara Adams emerged as the winner in Dominica and she recently collected her prize of a generator from the Sagicor General team there. Present to thank her for her participation were representatives of WillCher Services and HHV Whitchurch & Co Limited, agents for Sagicor General Insurance in Dominica.       

The competition ran online over three weeks in September and offered persons the chance to win a Generator valued at US$1,000.  The lists submitted were judged based on the inclusion of items required in case of evacuation as well as the inclusion of important documents to be able to recover and seamlessly resume life post disaster as the overall practicality of the bag with respect to weight and portability.
