Being prepared is the best strategy for ANY storm.
Supposedly these preparations have been presented to residents via Radio Montserrat while the rest of the media such as TMR is expected to provide these with uprovided resources. Of course this raises many issues, but more appropriate time.
However, because there are those who for one reason or the other do not access radio, TV being unavailable we bring what we can, information that is formidable reliable as obtained from experts who do more than provide the stats, but opinions frpm their expert discussions about the storm; avoiding also misinformation which may lead only to confusion and inconvenience. We provide information we have come to trust over the years, keeping up with the technology that they come with, and doing so with the scarce resources available.
