Residents of the Bethesda\/Christian Hill area will\ntake part in the first ever tsunami drill targeting a community on Saturday January\n26.<\/p>

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

The National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) is\norganizing the exercise which is part of efforts to fully operationalize the\nnational Multi-Hazard Early Warning System, which NODS is working towards\nbringing on stream this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bethesda\/Christian Hill community is one of the\nmost vulnerable areas to tsunamis in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

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

In preparation for the event, officials from NODS have\nheld meetings with residents and various groups in the area and have also been\ninvolved in the installation of tsunami educational signs – some of which show\nthe safe areas for Bethesda and Christian Hill.<\/p>

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

The January 26 tsunami drill intends to test the\ncommunity\u2019s ability to move to the established safe zones from wherever they\nmay be. Evaluators from various agencies will also take note of any challenges that\nmay occur, and along with observers, provide assistance where necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NODS is encouraging as many persons in the community\nto participate. \n\nThe tsunami drill is\nexpected to be replicated in other communities. \n\n\n\n<\/p>
