Work is expected to begin this week on the natural disaster mitigation plans for Seychelles around the main island of Mahe following recommendations from experts from Switzerland on how to prevent rockslides, landslides and other such disasters.
A group of experts from several companies in Switzerland, including the Gasse Felstechnik, PNP Geologie & Geotechnik and the ETH Zurich University, made the recommendations after a series of site visits were conducted earlier this week. The group looked at the damages in several areas and is working on ways to ensure it does not happen in the future.
The findings from the visits were presented to relevant authorities on Friday, including the Disaster Risk Management Division , Seychelles Infrastructure Agency and other relevant authorities, in a short meeting at L'Escale Resort, Roche Caiman. The areas visited and given priority for the recommended works to be done, include St, Louis Hill, Mont Signal, Le Niole, and Bel Ombre, the seven areas that need the most urgent attention. Plans have been laid out and work will begin soon.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
