Riverine Flood Alert #1 - Orange Level

Start date (local time) Thu, Nov 15, 2018 10:30 AM
End date (local time) Fri, Nov 16, 2018 6:00 PM

River levels are currently near threshold values in some parts, especially along the Caroni basin and minor flooding has commenced in certain regions as well. Rainfall is still in the forecast and the river levels are gradually rising which can become exacerbated around high tide times. Therefore, a high risk to public safety, livelihoods and property exists in these areas.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Reports of flash flooding in Trincity and Piarco intersection. High water levels in the Arima river in Manuel Congo and landslides in Aripo where it was also reported that people are marooned.

A backhoe and truck has been despatched and officers are presently on the field monitoring reports.
