The Royal Barbados Police Force has advised residents to be vigilant as they clean their properties.
A national clean-up campaign started last Monday to clear the buildup of ash as a result of explosive eruptions of the La Soufriere Volcano in St Vincent, which began on April 9.
A statement from police offered the following tips:
“Individuals who own power washers, hoses and other cleaning equipment and supplies, should ensure that they avoid leaving this equipment unattended during use.
“In addition, after using this equipment, it should be properly secured to prevent theft.
“Persons who have CCTV surveillance systems installed should conduct an inspection . . . to ensure that cameras and wiring have not been compromised due to the ashfall and, where possible, ensure that they clean any ash or debris from the lenses of the cameras and from any moving parts that may impact the proper function of these cameras.” (PR)
