The Dominica Association of Industry and Commerce (DAIC) strongly urges the Private Sector and all stakeholders to take proactive measures in safeguarding all lives, resources and operations due to the threat that Tropical Storm Fiona may present. In the wake of this approaching weather system, DAIC encourages all to stay abreast with official weather advisories.
All businesses are encouraged to activate Business Continuity Plans and Disaster Plans to ensure minimal disruptions. Special consideration should also be given to the most vulnerable employees or employees with vulnerable family members.
