On Wednesday, June 1, the official opening date of the hurricane season, the Collectivity of Saint-Martin brought together the players in the field, in the presence of President Louis Mussington, Senator Annick Pétrus, vice-presidents, elected authorities, the representative of the prefect Julien Marie and all the crisis management partners.
The Department of Major Risks of the COM presented the organization and logistics deployed by the territorial institution in connection with the prefecture which pilots the ORSEC plan.
The Community through the Territorial Safeguard Plan (PTS) described the actions implemented before and after the passage of a hurricane. Post-Irma feedback has enabled all aspects of crisis management to be taken into account and new means to be implemented.
Each citizen is invited to prepare, to read the list of hurricane shelters and all the information and instructions to know about hurricanes and to protect themselves well.
