And, it has extended an invitation to residents of Barrouallie and surrounding communities to be part of this interactive session. The meeting which takes place at the Barrouallie Learning Resource Centre from 5.30 p.m. has a two fold purpose.

It is intended to update residents on the present status of La Soufriere Volcano, and will provide a forum to share experiences and lessons learnt from the 2021 explosive eruptions of the volcano.
