Since powergen in POS closed down all of our power is generated down south. In a disaster the entire North of the country could be cut off.
Just thought this is something we should think about.

Papadopoulos, who was speaking during a Rotary Club of Central Port of Spain meeting at the Normandie Hotel in St Ann’s yesterday, warned that a major earthquake is due to hit the region in the coming years.

He said while an earthquake cannot be predicted, the region expects an earthquake with a magnitude of 7 or more approximately every 27 years and he said it has been long overdue.

Papadoupolos, an engineering seismologist at The University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre (SRC), said there has been “vivid” earthquake activity in the region in recent years with an average of 2,200 small earthquakes being recorded each year.

He said two specific earthquake zones are posing a major threat.

The zones are located north of the Gulf of Paria and within the Gulf of Paria.

“This area is actually ready to give one of the biggest earthquakes that we expect here, which probably will be a magnitude of 7 or 7.5,” he stated.

How come you left out the part where he said
“Seismologist Dr Illias Papadopoulos says the city of Port of Spain is in grave danger of sinking below the ground in the event of a major earthquake.”?

[meccalli]

That's what the link's there for, just wanted to highlight the proximity of the fault zones expected to give rise. That's trouble for the entire country, not just POS.

sensationalism
the report implies tall buildings disappearing into the ground
a more accurate description would be buildings becoming unstable and leaning / falling over as their foundations suddenly find themselves in a fluid slurry of sand and water and sink / shift
