GREAT BAY (GIS) – The application process for Mobility Passes for the 2006 Hurricane Season will end on May 25. Potential applicants have until May 25th to present all relevant information related to the process of requesting a Mobility Pass.
To date more than 100 applications have been processed with reference to the 2006 Hurricane season which begins on June 1, 2006 to November 30, 2006.
Businesses and vital organizations can request personal passes for their key personnel.
The Office of the Fire Department & Disaster Management is handling the application process for the passes on behalf of the Governor of the Island Territory of St. Maarten.
The hurricane mobility pass system is a measure to maintain public order during emergency situations. The Governor assesses the damage after a disaster has occurred and can impose a curfew if the extent of the damage poses a threat to the safety and security of the community.
After a disaster has struck, and a curfew has been imposed, the public roads can only be accessed by emergency crews. The Governor will ensure that the curfew is limited to the essential time that is needed to execute emergency and disaster relief and recovery efforts.
Potential applicants can request application forms by email at: paul.martens@islandgov-sxm.org
For those without email, application forms are available at the Fire Department & Disaster Management Office located on Backstreet 56 (upstairs).
