Gov't offices to open by 11:00 AM
According to a circular from the Office of the Deputy Governor, a coordinated response to ensure office spaces are ready for service has been initiated.
“Senior Managers and Department Heads are directed to assess their office spaces as soon as possible. Barring any weather-related concerns or significant damage, all offices should be prepared to open by 11:00 a.m. to facilitate regular operations as soon as possible following the road clearance message from the PWD.”
The Public Works Department (PWD), it added, is working to clear areas affected by the effects of the heavy rainfall.
Safety remains the priority
The circular added that it is recognised that some officers may need time to address personal or family impacts due to the severe weather and therefore, “Department Heads are encouraged to activate the Flexible Working Arrangement Policy to support remote work, wherever feasible. This also applies to officers whose children are at home today.”
With the end of the Atlantic Hurricane Season approaching, it continued, “Your safety remains our highest priority”.
The Deputy Governor’s Office also encouraged updates from the Department of Disaster Management to be monitored and for all to proceed with caution during the day.

“pitch is to cricket
what good governance

like two sides

In cricket the pitch is
a prepared rectangular area
between two wickets,
At each end of the pitch
the bowler bowls and
the batsman plays
Time Waits On No-One:
The Valued Umpire
calls the game
may make strikers and
bowlers shame but
he brought humor and
fundamentals to the game:
Ralph took to the fields
wearing protective shield
strapped to his left arm;
His Clothing Was White:
His Falls Were Neither Broken
On “Consecrated” Dead
Dusty, or Green:
So Unequivocal:
“You are What You
Wear in Cricket and
“You Are What You Pitch”-
Of mirrors, Of man, Of Courage,
Commitment, and Confidence
That Closeness with Constituents
Cheated him of Connections
taken for granted
The Struggle of a Valued Umpire:
Is the bowler bowling correctly?
Yet A fork in the ground,
an investment, a story,
an ideal, Or a dream!
Fading Beams
Into A Stream of Light
An influential Virgin Islander,
A Political Virtuoso,
…
