Just came from visiting some of the sites where our hard-working crews were preparing for the approach of Tropical Storm Karen. 

Good day and God’s blessings to all of you. It is indeed wet on the outside and I do trust that you are exhausting all efforts to remain dry, for you believe in the mantra: Get Ready, Stay Ready!

Thank you for your patience as the forecasting community, the Department of Disaster Management, the Acting Governor and I work diligently to decipher the conflicting signals emanating from the dynamically changing system that is Tropical Depression Karen.

Good evening to all the people of the Virgin Islands. As you are aware, the Territory and our neighbours in the USVI and Puerto Rico remain under a tropical storm warning.

Good day and God’s blessings to all the people of the Virgin Islands.  As you would have already heard from His Excellency the Acting Governor Mr. David Archer, the Territory is now under a Tropical Storm Warning, which means that we expect Tropical Storm Karen will bring some tropical storm conditions to our shores within the next 36 hours.

I hope that you have found some time over the course of the weekend to not only ensure that you have done what is needed to increase your preparedness levels but to also rest and rejuvenate, because we begin this week facing the approach of Tropical Storm Karen.

As Premier of the Virgin Islands, I wish to assure the Government and people of Bermuda that the British Virgin Islands stand prepared to assist with their recovery efforts from Hurricane Humberto and the forecast passage of Hurricane Jerry. 

Good morning and God’s Blessings to you and yours.

Good morning to all. I’d once again like to begin this message by thanking you the people of the Virgin Islands.

Good day and God’s blessings to all the people of the Virgin Islands.

As you would have already heard from His Excellency the Acting Governor Mr. David Archer this morning, Government, through the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC), is closely monitoring the progress of Hurricane Jerry.
