On Saturday, July 09th, 2022 representatives from several agencies and persons from the
community convened to participate in a field mapping training and exercise in Vieux-Fort from 9:30am-4:00pm.
The exercise is being implemented under the Map4SaintLucia initiative. Participants included representatives from their partner agencies Red Cross, NEMO and the Youth Emergency Action Committee (YEAC); as well as volunteer mappers and individuals from the community.
During this exercise, participants were taught how to use a digital mapping platform to create maps of a community and then go into the field to validate the data collected.
They are also taught to utilize a mobile-based tool for field-mapping. Such maps play an important role in building disaster resilience; as they serve as an important tool in providing critical information for disaster planning, response and assessments.

They are often used prior to and in the aftermath of hurricanes, landslides, earthquakes and floods.
The exercise was facilitated by OpenStreetMap Specialist and adjunct Professor at George
Washington University, Steven Johnson and Geographic Information Systems specialist,
Christopher Williams.
Map4SaintLucia is funded via a unique global partnership between the Humanitarian
OpenStreetMap team (HOT), SwissRE Foundation and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) which focuses on the use of geospatial data for building resilience and reducing vulnerability to disasters.
Map4SaintLucia expressed gratitude to their partners and also to: Vieux-Fort Comprehensive Secondary School, the Vieux-Fort South Constituency Council; LUCELEC and the Windward & Leeward Brewery LTD for supporting the mappers who are working to build Saint Lucia’s digital map and by extension, a more resilient Saint Lucia.

Tobago tourism sector workers have a role to play in the island’s development, THA Secretary of Tourism, Culture, Antiquities and Transportation Tashia Burris said on Wednesday.
“We must build the island together,” Burris told over 100 tourism sector workers in a town hall meeting at the Scarborough Library. During the meeting, there were calls for greater efficiency in customer service delivery, additional craft market spaces at the island’s ports of entry, the inclusion of a tourism-based curriculum at the primary school level, greater recognition, accessibility, and incorporation of music education in tourism; more youth-based tourism opportunities; Store Bay Beach Facility upgrades; and further developments in agro-tourism.
In responding to the issue on customer service, CEO of the Tobago Tourism Agency (TTAL) Louis Lewis said training will be conducted to improve service across several sectors.
Burris said there plans were to extend the division’s Summer Youth Awareness Programme and the Tourism Youth Clubs initiative.
She said discussions were underway with the Division of Education, Research, and Technology to formalise tourism education.
She assured the workers and industry representatives that their concerns and proposed solutions were considered and, as such, all efforts would be made for a timely policy.
Delving into some of the significant development upgrades to come, she said, “Work towards the betterment of the island. We must rebuild the island together. We must be our island’s biggest cheerleaders. It’s up to every single one of us as we work towards becoming the greatest little island on the planet.”
