José went unnoticed, so the work to restart the island can finally begin. What there is to know :
GARBAGE: Normal garbage collection will resume on Monday. Plant debris must be deposited in Saint-Jean, in front of the airport, and the other debris type plate in Saline, at the old site of Batibart.
FOOD, WATER: The Super U store in Saint-Jean is due to reopen this afternoon. The ships loaded with goods will start arriving this Sunday,
FUEL: The essence is still limited to those who have been delivered good, today. It will be accessible to all by Tuesday, but rationed, up to 20 euros per person.
AIRPORT: Commercial flights have not yet resumed at the airport.
SCHOOLS: schools will start cleaning on Monday. No date is set for the start of the school year at the moment.
ELECTRICITY: the control panel is operational. Electricity works in Gustavia and Saint-Jean. For other districts, the restart time will depend on the state of the network. Generators will be made available to companies and housing groups.
WATER: water production has resumed, but distribution will not occur in the immediate future. The Collective mentions the possibility of making distributions in the neighborhoods, by truck.
RELOCATION: People who no longer have a roof will be identified, through a referent elected in each neighborhood. Several hotels have offered their rooms, as well as owners of villas; all proposals will also be identified.
TELEPHONE NETWORK, INTERNET: The wi-fi points will be multiplied, including a full coverage of Cul de Sac. As for the telephone network, all Orange equipment and technical teams are there or about to arrive. A gradual return to normal is announced by the end of next week.
Additionally, there are reports elsewhere of several very large Antonov aircraft being dispatched to Guadeloupe with supplies.
