After two exercises recently carried out in Guadeloupe, our territory is also actively preparing for cyclone risk. The prefecture organized a civil security exercise last week to improve the provisions of the ORSEC plan.
On July 9, the exercise called "Padme" simulated the passage of a cyclonic phenomenon over Guadeloupe. The next day, the Americas-Caribbean regional intervention platform (PIRAC) of the Red Cross tested its emergency accommodation system in Marie-Galante, as part of the “72 hours of autonomy” project. Last Wednesday, it was Saint-Martin's turn to act: many services took part in a simulation exercise, including those of the prefecture, the Collectivity and the police. The prefecture explained that this made it possible to assess in particular “the mobilization capacity of partner services - the operational nature of the alert and information chain, namely the capacity to transmit the evolution of the degrees of vigilance and the behavioral advice to the population as soon as possible - and the operating methods of the crisis unit (material and organizational aspects) ”. Prefect Anne Laubies said she wanted this simulation exercise to take place more frequently on the island.As a reminder, the annual preparatory meeting for the 2015 hurricane season, organized by the ORSEC Plan Commission, took place last month at the Hôtel de la Collectivité. We will soon come back to the preparation instructions for the hurricane season which will end on November 30.
