PRIME Minister Dr Hubert Minnis yesterday thanked the National Emergency Management Agency and other public officers who served on the frontline and helped in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Dorian. He made the acknowledgements during an appreciation luncheon yesterday at the National Training Agency. Expressing his profound gratitude, the prime minister said: “On behalf of the government and people of The Bahamas, and on my own behalf, I thank you with all of my heart for all the work you did and continue to do. You have made your country proud.

He recalled that just over three months ago the country experienced one of the most catastrophic events in its history and that of the Atlantic, when Hurricane Dorian made landfall. “On Abaco, in many of the Abaco cays and on Grand Bahama it seemed as if a series of bombs exploded,” he said.
