Chief Education Officer, Dr. Wendy Griffith Watson has called for more emergency drills in schools. Dr. Griffith-Watson, who is also chief shelter warden, was speaking against the background of several floods across Barbados last year, some of which impacted schools.
She believes frequent drills will help staff and students to be better prepared for any recurrence of the floods and other emergency situations.
"I would like the Red Cross and the District's Emergency Officers to help us arrange emergency drills at our schools throughout the school year. So that it becomes a normal practice and children then too are aware of their duties and responsibilities and parents will feel a little more assured that if something happens their children and the teachers are safe."
