Greetings to all who call The Virgin Islands home. We are small islands dependent on nature-based tourism and vulnerable to the ravages of climate change.

In light of the flash flood warning and the water’s impact on Territory roads, it is crucial for persons to stay off the roads and remain indoors until conditions improve.

The Virgin Islands was this morning placed on a flash flood warning, which will remain in effect until 10:30 am.

Once again, the hurricane season is here. Some of you may have heard that experts expect as many as 25 named storms to develop during the 2024 hurricane season. 

The hurricane season has arrived, and by now you have probably heard that the 2024 hurricane season outlooks are above average.

Greetings fellow Virgin Islanders. As we approach another hurricane season, it is crucial that we remain vigilant and prepared. This year's Atlantic Hurricane Season is already proving to be an active one, as evidenced by the flash floods experienced in early May. These events have served as a wake-up call, alerting us to the areas that require immediate attention to mitigate flooding during inclement weather.

“Leave no one behind” is the mantra adopted by the international community.

Good afternoon to the people of the Virgin Islands!

I wish to take a few minutes to provide a response to the Governor’s Press Conference on the Sixth Quarterly Review of the Implementation of the COI Recommendations under the Framework Agreement between the Government of the Virgin Islands (VI) and the Government of the United Kingdom (UK).

I would like to start by recalling Commissioner Sir Gary Hickinbottom’s conclusion in the COI report of 4^th April 2022.  

It is with a profound sense of loss and deep respect that I extend my heartfelt condolences to his wife, Mrs. Malone and son, Malcolm Malone, extended family, friends and loved ones of a remarkable son of the soil, the late  Mr. Vernon E. Malone, QPM, LLB, CPA.
