MICRO-SIDEWALK: “Are you ready for a cyclone? "

“Not quite yet, but almost. I push my whole family to prepare, I think it's very important, not just because Saint Martin is an island that can be easily hit by a hurricane but because it's the least you can do if you want avoid too much damage.

After if it has to take everything, it will take everything, Irma took everything from us even though we were well prepared in theory, but I try to stay positive despite everything, what we went through with Irma made us what we are today, we are stronger and more united. Don't wait until the last minute or a storm is announced to stock up, it's now or never.  »

“It's funny that you ask me the question, I just left the pharmacy, I finally completed my first aid kit according to the list of the emergency kit distributed by the Collectivity. This is the last thing I was missing before I could cross all the boxes on the list! I was traveling when Irma devastated Saint Martin, I could only see the damage for myself several weeks after her visit and just talking about it, I still have chills. I can't imagine what it's like to go through this. Even today I am told stories from after Irma, the experience of people who were prepared and that of those who were not. It is everyone's responsibility to equip themselves properly, not just for themselves but for others as well. "

“It's a big yes for me. Even though I was very fortunate not to lose anything in 2017, I prefer to remain vigilant and my family starts from this principle too. The adage says that prevention is better than cure, it has never been so relevant when you live in the Caribbean! We talk a lot about the cyclone kit but it would also be good to talk about the list of shelters where you can go in the event of a cyclone.

Many people live in housing that cannot be secured or who cannot afford to do so, it is heartbreaking to leave your house behind but it is also reassuring to know that you are can take refuge in a safe place. "
