Government Response to Hurricane Dean on Little Cayman

In the August 28 edition of the cayCompass, Gladys Howard, world class chef, Proprietor of Pirates Point Resort, and prominent resident of Little Cayman has written a powerful letter calling the Cayman Islands Government to task for their response to Hurricane Dean on the island of Little Cayman. In the letter, Gladys asks why the one hurricane shelter on Little Cayman was locked, why there were not enough flights out to get all residents and visitors off the island despite the fact that there was a mandatory evacuation, and why electricity and telecommunications was cut off from the island for such an inordinately long time. Click here for Gladys' full letter, a must read for anyone interested in news about Little Cayman.
