With the 2020 Hurricane Season already turning out to be an active one, the Barbuda Council is accusing the National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) of neglecting Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Council Secretary Paul Nedd says the residents of the sister island are anxious and concerned since the island is not 100 percent ready for the season.<\/p>\n

Hurricane Irma devastated Barbuda in September 2017 and, since then, the island has been in a state of recovery.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Nedd says many homes are at a stage where they are nearing completion; however, some are still without electricity nearly three years after the hurricane.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Meanwhile, the Council has managed to put some emergency shelters in place — just in case a storm passes and persons need to seek refuge at another location.<\/p>\n

Nedd could not find any explanation why NODS is not undertaking the same level of hurricane-preparedness activity as is being done on Antigua.<\/p>
