UPGRADE TO THE EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS<br />
– There are two early warning systems found in <strong>the</strong> south-western end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Island.<br />
These systems were strategically located here, because it is low lying, major industries<br />
and services are located here, such as <strong>the</strong> ANR Robinson Airport, NP Plant, Cove<br />
Industrial estate and major shopping and housing areas. The Early warning system<br />
makes all in <strong>the</strong> south west aware <strong>of</strong> an encroaching danger through a series <strong>of</strong> tones<br />
and sirens. The upgrade <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> system allows key persons to activate <strong>the</strong>se systems<br />
with <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> a cell phone and VHF radios.<br />
The system was tested with <strong>the</strong> help <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> primary schools in <strong>the</strong> area (Dec 2011)<br />
