The Disaster Management Coordination Agency (DMCA) has launched a WhatsApp channel dedicated to ensuring the public have access to official and accurate information during emergencies.
According to a press release from the DMCA, residents and visitors on Montserrat will be able to have access to critical, accurate, reliable, timely, and official information during emergencies or crises.
DMCA’s Information and Education Officer, Shirlian Queeley, access to accurate information, during a crisis or emergency, can save lives and reduce risk- especially for the island’s vulnerable population.
The DMCA encourages the public to copy the link, share it, or scan the QR code to follow the WhatsApp channel.
QR codes and links will be displayed at various locations across the island and shared on the DMCA’s social media platforms and website.
For additional queries or for further assistance joining the channel, individuals can call the DMCA at 491-7166.
