NEMO Wasn't
Thu, November 14, 2024
We'll have more on the western flooding tomorrow on Sunup. And, in situations like this we can all appreciate the crucial role the media plays. But, when Tropical Storm Nadine made landfall, NEMO wasn't moving right - especially in the zone of greatest impact - which was Corozal.

Elmer Cornejo, CTV-3 News
"We've been having trouble getting updated information from our local NEMO offices. In terms of Corozal, which was the last, storm that hit us, directly, and we had most of the effects of that storm being, we had zero information from the Nemo office in Corozal, and it was all due because of protocols."

"Can that change? Is that protocol something that should be revisited when the system is happening and directly hitting us? Everybody needs to know information. And I think, in my humble opinion, as a, as a journalist, we are not there. It used to be different where we can get the information. And I understand we don't want to panic people, but everybody wants to know what is happening in order to make decisions."

"I just wanted to know whether or not that's going to change this time. People expect the media houses to report updated and precise information. "

Daniel Mendez, NEMO Coordinator
"Clearly, that's something that, needs to be addressed. And it's it's an area that had already been expressed to me by others. It's an area that we will be revisiting, and ensure that we are, will be able to provide more information.So we will be we will be working with our district coordinators to ensure that information is provided to, to you as necessary."
