The National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) continues to play an integral role in recovery and rebuilding efforts across the nation.
Director of NEMO, Michelle Forbes, told the Agency for Public Information (API) that the organisation is committed to ensuring that no one is left behind in the process of recovery.
Forbes explained that the recovery process is multifaceted, with NEMO working alongside various sectors and maintaining a strong presence within communities to ensure that efforts are inclusive, community-driven, and responsive to the needs of the people.
One of NEMO’s initiatives has been the Household Appliance Distribution Project, which began in late 2024 following the passage of Hurricane Beryl. To date, the programme has already benefited more than 765 families.
According to Forbes, NEMO has provided essential household appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines to families across St. Vincent and the Grenadines. She noted, however, that while the project has made significant progress, there are still areas to be completed—particularly in Union Island and mainland St. Vincent.
The Director further stated that NEMO is almost 99% complete in some of the severely impacted areas like Mayreau, and a new round of distribution is being planned to assist families who remain in need.
