AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoEarthquake Aftermath: The National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) is still tallying damage after a 6.4-magnitude earthquake hit Antigua and Barbuda Saturday morning, with the quake first logged at 6.5 then revised to 6.4 by the UWI Seismic Research Centre; no injuries were reported locally, but volunteers and disaster coordinators have been sent to check homes and businesses, and NODS is also reaching out across its wider responsibility area including St. Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, and St. Martin. Healthcare Reform: In St. Kitts and Nevis, the government rolled out the NCI WellCare Digital Insurance Card, letting public servants and retirees use participating providers with co-payments only at the point of service while the rest is processed electronically in real time. Tourism Push: Caribbean tourism leaders are leaning into a “new strategic phase,” with Latin American demand rising and more focus on higher-value, year-round travel.
