Residents of the Virgin Islands are asked to do their part and be prepared this hurricane season. Persons are asked to:

1. Remove all derelict vehicles and heavy equipment not in use from roadways
2. Clear waterways of derelict boats
3. Clear all debris and loose garbage on property
4. Refrain from throwing bulky garbage in ghuts and drains

These items can be swept away during natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods and cause blockage of free flowing water to ghuts, drains or off the road way that may result in flooding.
