Friday,  August 31, 2007 –  The OECS Secretariat is still recovering from the passage of Hurricane Dean on August 17th but is reporting that operations are gradually returning to a state of normalcy.

 

Senior Communications Officer  of  the OECS Secretariat Kendol Morgan says  the structural damage to the building necessitated finding alternative accommodation for some sections of the Headquarters.

 

 'Business as usual was interrupted because the main Secretariat building suffered some damage to the roof and because of the fact that there was some water damage to the  floor. As a result officers  working in that part of  the building had to be relocated and that took several days. Several departments were unaffected or only in a minimal way so  they  have been up and running from  very early and are already operational, others are moving up to speed but the work continues because the Secretariat  still has the responsibility of the development of the sub-region.”.

 

He said in spite of the challenges the Secretariat is doing all possible to  keep up with its professional commitments. On the brighter side  some additional space was readily  available in the  immediate vicinity at Morne Fortune making  continuity of business easier to manage.
