The Committee on Culture, Youth, Aging, Sports and Parks will host a town hall meeting in the Cleone H. Creque Legislative Annex on St. John on Thursday, September 3, 2026, from 3:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M., to coordinate and conduct a community town hall focused on hurricane preparedness and emergency response.

This town hall is being organized in partnership with the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency (VITEMA), Virgin Islands Police Department (VIPD), St. John Rescue, Virgin Islands Fire and Emergency Medical Services (VIFEMS), and the St. John Administrator’s Office.

As we remain in the heart of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, it is important that St. John residents have an opportunity to engage directly with our emergency response agencies, receive current preparedness information, understand emergency procedures and available resources, and raise questions regarding the Territory’s readiness and response capabilities.
