The majority of the students are on the True Blue campus where there is water, food, and shelter, and security guards as well as University administrators. There have been no reports of SGU students being attacked or harmed; no reports of looting or strangers on campus. There are reports of looting in the city of St. Georges and in some of the supermarkets where people are looting for food.
University officials have been in contact with the U.S. State Department. Late yesterday, they were advised that personnel will be dispatched to Grenada later today, either by boat or plane, to assist in police activities as well as to look after the interests of U.S. citizens in Grenada.
Members of the Regional Security System were deployed to Grenada by the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA) to assist the authorities in maintaining law and order.
