Thoughts and Prayer for St vincent and the Grenadines
The NAGICO Family extends its prayers and support to our Vinsure Family and the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The La Soufriere volcano in St. Vincent has been erupting since yesterday, Friday 9th April, and the authorities gave an evacuation order the night before, i.e. Thursday 8th April, to the relevant areas of the country. This is a developing situation, however, Geologist Richard Robertson said that so far, the data shows that the 2021 eruption would more than likely be much bigger than the 1979 eruption.
We are happy to advise that all of our VINSURE staff are in the green zone and are safe indoors. We understand from them that the ash fall is very heavy and that the sulphur smell is quite strong, with persons very South of the island (in Kingstown) / very far away from the volcano experiencing it also at present. Visibility has been reported to be very low, even in Kingstown (green zone). Despite the devastating and developing situation, our Vinsure team remains in positive spirits and are appreciative of the significant outpouring of care, support and prayer.
Please join us as we continue to keep our Vinsure Family and the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines in our thoughts and prayers.
