In response to the increase in seismic activity impacting the island of Puerto Rico, which were also felt in the U.S. Virgin Islands, VITEMA began hosting town hall meetings on St. Croix at the end of January which were continued in St. Thomas and Water Island last week.
“We were happy to see so many residents at our recent meetings held throughout the territory,” said VITEMA Director, Daryl D. Jaschen. “Each town hall meeting has brought us one step closer to building the capacity of our community to prepare for and respond to earthquakes.”
