The opening ceremony will take place on Tuesday 4th June, at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, June 1st marks the officially start of the 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Historically across the Atlantic Basin, the averages for named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher) and major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher) are 12, 6 and 2 respectively. This year, the U.S National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are forecasting a “near normal” season with 9 to 15 named storms; 4 to 8 of which could become hurricanes, while 2 to 4 are expecting to evolve into major hurricanes. The Outlook reflects the ongoing El Niño which is expected to persist and suppress the intensity of the hurricane season. It should be noted that these forecasts are based on probabilities and the analysis of historical data. They are intended to provide an estimate of activity to be experienced during the upcoming season. Regardless of what the seasonal forecast is, one must be reminded that a disaster can occur from only one hurricane, tropical storm, or even from a lesser developed system. It is therefore important for individuals, businesses and Government entities to recognize their vulnerability, and take the necessary measures to reduce impacts of heavy rainfall, strong winds and storm surge. A special appeal is extended to fishers and other marine operators as they are usually the first to be impacted by approaching weather systems at sea. Please be alert during this time of the year. In keeping our mandate, The Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services wishes to reassure the public that it will continue to closely monitor weather conditions around Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and issue the necessary public advisories in a timely manner. We will also coordinate with the National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) about the likely hazards accompanying these systems.

Happy World Tuberculosis Day Everyone! World Tuberculosis (TB) Day, falls on March 24th every year and is intended to assemble open mindfulness that tuberculosis today remains a plague in a great part of the world, causing the passing of almost one-and-a-half million individuals every year, for the most part in creating nations. This day recognizes the day in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch amazed mainstream researchers by declaring that he had found the reason for tuberculosis, the TB bacillus. At the season of Koch's declaration in Berlin, TB was seething through Europe and the Americas, causing the demise of one out of each seven individuals. Koch's disclosure opened the route towards diagnosing and curing TB. Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease brought about by microscopic organisms called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The microbes more often than not assault the lungs, yet they can likewise harm different pieces of the body. TB spreads through the air when an individual with TB of the lungs or throat coughs, sniffles, or talks. On the off chance that you have been uncovered, you ought to go to your specialist for tests.

Again Happy TB Days and see you soon!!
Ok, so last week, we got you into the hype of International Women’s Day (IWD). And this week I started telling you about Youth development and I mentioned how the OECS is helping youths, including myself. But I didn’t take time to tell you who is the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States(OECS). I know it’s here on the site but sometimes we over look these things. So, here goes… The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is a between administrative association devoted to financial harmonisation and coordination, security of human and legitimate rights, and the support of good administration among nations and conditions in the Lesser Antilles in the Eastern Caribbean. The OECS is a ten-part grouping of islands spread over the Eastern Caribbean. Together, they structure a close persistent archipelago over the eastern compasses of the Caribbean Sea. They involve the Leeward Islands: Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat, Anguilla, and the British Virgin Islands; and the Windward Islands: Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada and Martinique.
The establishing members' states that have full participation are Antigua and Barbuda, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines. Anguilla, The British Virgin Islands, and Martinique are Associate individuals yet are treated as full individuals for a large number of the Organization's exercises, while Saint Martin is non-part given the status of Observer to take an interest in the Organization's exercises with no casting a ballot benefit. Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, and Montserrat stay abroad domains of the United Kingdom (UK) while Martinique keeps on being an abroad division and area of France.
Although six of the Members were once in the past states of the UK, there is no prerequisite for the Members to have been British provinces; be that as it may, the close historical, social and financial connections cultivated by the British frontier legacy of most of the islands, is as much a factor in their participation of the OECS as their topographical nearness. All, aside from Dominica which is a Republic, and Martinique, a French office, hold Queen Elizabeth the Second of Britain as their head of state. I hope this helped you out a lil. Send me your opinion in the comments below and I'll see you next week. Young people are the Eventual fate of each country and inheritors of the earth tomorrow. This announcement stands valid in each sense. Youth represent over 30% of the number of inhabitants in our area and can possibly have a critical effect on it. I’m in my twenties so I know what I am talking about. I have a son. I have friends with children. And every where that I go, every event, every gathering, even the last GALA that I went to, majority of the persons were under the age of 35. Imagine that! So, who is doing what to help to develop the new and developing generations?
I can name eight different organisations that are trying to develop the young people. And you bet I will. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Entrepreneurship Program for Innovation in the Caribbean, TIC Americas, CTA international, the Capital Youth Empowerment Program (CYEP), the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Bank of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (BOSVG), and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) are off the top of my head organisations that reach out to the youths. I have a lot more to say on this but you follow up in the up coming post. I’ve already begun working on it. See you soon! It’s Finally here! Happy Birthday to me… I mean happy International Women’s Day. (Don’t blame me!) Today, I join with the global community to salute women and girls everywhere, particularly those of the OECS. It is well known that it is the women of our Community who have been the bedrock of society and have been agents of change within our societies. In so doing, they have been steadfast in their determination to improve their economic, social, political, cultural and legal status. This year’s theme “Think equal, build smart, innovate for change” focuses around inventive manners by which we can propel sex uniformity and the strengthening of ladies, especially in the zones of social security frameworks, access to open administrations and manageable foundation. We are now twenty-four years on from that important milestone the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Our governments were among the 189 that signed that historic document which put forward an agenda for realizing, among other things, the achievement of women’s equality. Yet, today, that goal remains elusive. I believe that the OECS remains committed to the proposed Goal 5 of the UN Framework for Sustainable Development: ‘Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”; and am sure they will continue pursuing innovate for change
On this occasion of International Women’s Day 2019, I join the voices across the Region in celebrating our women, those whom we have formally recognized and those many unsung heroines who continue to develop our OECS States. Let us renew our commitment and energy as we map out the path for thinking equal, building smart, and innovating for change for a sustainable development and a vital element in building our region.
I like to think of my birthday as special. I mean who doesn’t right? Either way, my birthday is celebrated worldwide. Not really but yes. Maybe one day. No matter, It’s an extra special day. March 8th, International Women’s Day! IWD. Don’t worry, these posts are not about me. We are going to focus on two young ladies in the OECS that I believe is worth celebrating. But first, a little history lesson. In a couple of days, the entire world will be celebrating this day. International Women's Day is commended on March 8 consistently. It is a point of convergence in the development of ladies' rights. After the Socialist Party of America composed a Women's Day on February 28, 1909, in New York, the 1910 International Socialist Woman's Conference recommended a Women's Day be held every year. According to the United Nations, International Women's Day is an opportunity to ponder "progress made", to call for change and to praise demonstrations of boldness and assurance by ordinary ladies who have assumed an unprecedented job in the history of their nations and communities. The 2019 theme for IWD “Think equal, build smart, innovate for change”, centres around inventive manners by which we can propel sex uniformity and the strengthening of ladies, especially in the zones of social security frameworks, access to open administrations and manageable foundation.
I did promise you a feature on two beautiful young ladies and I always keep my word… However, you will have to check back here during the week to get to know these ordinary ladies who are doing extraordinary things in the OECS.
