Prime Minister Briceno Urges Northern District to Be Prepared
Prime Minister John Briceno addressed the nation in a video statement, as several parts of the country remain under a tropical storm watch. PM Briceno returned to the country today from an official visit to Panama. In his address, the head of government expressed solidarity with the CARICOM nations that have been devastated by Hurricane Beryl. He also emphasized the need for those living within the tropical storm watch area, especially in flood prone areas, to make all the necessary preparations. As of tonight, the eye of the hurricane is forecasted to pass north of Belize in the Yucatan Peninsula. And if it stays on today’s projected path, residents in northern Belize will experience potentially damaging wind gusts. Here is a portion of the Prime Minister’s address to the nation.
