00:00The Lone Nation forms part of the continued partnership between the U.S. Embassy and TEMA in enhancing disaster management
00:08capacity and improving the efficiency of emergency response operations across Tobago.
00:14Phase two, which we celebrate today, includes the delivery and installation of equipment, IT systems, software and security systems, warehouse
00:24materials handling systems, furnishings and other essential support items, all designed to enhance this warehouse's operational readiness.
00:32This initiative represents an investment of over 265,000 U.S. dollars, and it reflects a strategic commitment to strengthen
00:41Tobago's disaster preparedness, enhancing emergency response capabilities and supporting your efforts to modernize emergency management operations.
00:51Equipment donated, forklift, pallet jack, tracking system, CCTV security system, industrial work benches and printers.
01:01This partnership demonstrates something that we hold central to our engagement here.
01:06Our commitment to Trinidad and Tobago is not just about managing crises together.
01:12It's about building local capacity, self-reliance and resilience to allow this nation to lead its own disaster response today
01:20and in the future.
01:22Director of the Tobago Emergency Management Agency, Alan Stewart, said the new assets would be managed and centralized.
01:30This conversation for us began in 2015, and therefore we recognize what happened in 2016 going forward, and today we
01:40have seen a partnership that is well-placed.
01:43I did remind that it went back to 2005, the days with those bubcats that came into the country for
01:51us.
01:52But we want to see that partnership continue to blossom.
01:55We want to make sure, I want to give you the assurance that what has been demonstrated here today goes
02:03a long way in keeping our island safe.
02:06Tema stated, the loanation represents a significant investment in strengthening Tema's warehouse operations, inventory management, logistics and emergency response readiness.
