According to its President Ian Smitten, the St. Philip West DEO has been getting out into the field to work amongst the members of the Community. There are three projects that are currently engaging the DEO (i) eradicating the Giant African Snail or at least retarding its spread in the St. Philip/Christ Church Area (ii) identifying and marking fire hydrants (iii) identifying flood prone areas. All of these activities have been engaging the members to go out into the field and interact with the residents of St. Philip West.
But is St. Philip West fully prepared? Mr. Smitten indicated that there is a lot of work to be done. However he believes that they are better prepared than in previous years. Some members of the DEO have had experience now with both the Arch Cot and Joe's River tragedies. There have also been some local incidents such as a fallen tree is Packers, Christ Church that was dealt with by the St. Philip West DEO.
