NEMA Tobago Community Early Warning System
NEMA
Tobago began work on phase 1 of its Multi Hazard Community Early Warning
System on the 8th of January 2008. The American Signal Corporation (Compulert)
designed system will provide alerts and warning to communities remotely via
radio messages and siren tones. TSUNAMI WARNING, HURRICANE / STORM WARNING, and
SEVERE WEATHER messages, can be send remotely from in the field or from the
Tobago Emergency Operations Centre to the southwest communities of Tobago
that are at risk to these hazards.
The NEMA technicians are hard at work as installation work on these two (2) Community Early Warning infrastructures are expected to be completed before the end of January 2008.
This system is expected to be extended to other communities that are at risk.
The following are pictures of Phase 1, installation work:
