Because of the more extensive storm damage seen on St. Thomas and St. John, a curfew in the district, beginnining at 11 p.m., has been extended another day, Gov. John deJongh Jr. said Tuesday.
Fresh from a meeting with both local and federal emergency management heads, deJongh had several positive reports, saying during a press call that Hurricane Earl is no longer a threat to the territory and that the storm, so far, has yielded no deaths or injuries.
But he explained that keeping the roads clear during curfew—in force from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Wednesday—will allow agencies such as Public Works and the V.I. Water and Power Authority to finish up their damage assessments, made worse this morning by widespread power outages and debris along the roads.
The curfew is also meant to serve as a deterrent for looters and vandals, deJongh said, adding that he has also not yet received any reports of such activity from the Police
