The Opposition People’s National Party is criticising the government for what it described as leaving Jamaicans in the dark during a potential tsunami threat yesterday.

In a release this morning, the PNP said Jamaica was placed under a tsunami alert at approximately 6:30 P.M., which was lifted about an hour and ten minutes later.

noted that at no time during the alert did the country hear from the government or the agency responsible for informing the nation.

She asserted that had a tsunami occurred, it would have resulted in a disaster of catastrophic proportions, as no bulletin was issued to warn the population, nor was any instruction provided on how to respond to such an event.

She said the Opposition considers this a gross dereliction of duty and an extremely irresponsible failure by the Ministry of Local Government and the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM).

She is calling for an urgent review of the country’s disaster alert and warning systems to ensure they are fully functional and supported by adequate response mechanisms, expertise, and funding.
