The National Emergency Management Organization wishes to advise all citizens and residents of St. Vincent and The Grenadines that no evacuation order has been issued to any section of the population.
Several media outlets both locally and abroad have published false information to this effect. These reports are inaccurate, and misleading.
NEMO is reminding all citizens and residents to always ensure that any information regarding the La Soufrière Volcano and the current emergency are from credible and official sources only.
The official sources of information in this regard are the NEMO and the UWI Seismic Research Center (SRC).
