The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM) is urging the public to remain vigilant and continue their preparations as we expect to begin to feel the effects of the passage of Tropical Storm Gonzalo from as early as this morning in some areas of Tobago, North and East Trinidad. This system has so far proven to be a very unpredictable. Notwithstanding this unpredictability, based on the MET Service forecast, it appears that Trinidad and Tobago can expect very heavy rainfall. As such, the ODPM is urging all persons to fully prepare themselves and secure their possessions. The entire Trinidad and Tobago is asked to be ready for this passing weather system. The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has upgraded its Adverse Weather Alert to Orange Level for Trinidad while a Tropical Storm Warning continues to be in effect for Tobago. Coastal and offshore waters around Tobago and North and East of Trinidad, as well as sheltered areas along Trinidad's coastline are currently under a Hazardous Seas Alert. These conditions are expected to commence today (Saturday 25th July 2020) and persist until Sunday 26th July 2020. Persons should be prepared for heavy rainfall, Thunderstorm activity, strong gusty winds and rough seas conditions. The ODPM is again cautioning persons living in low-lying areas, near river banks, or living/working in flood prone of landslide prone areas, to be extra vigilant and to take the necessary precautions to preserve life and property. Ensure that you have sandbags in place which are accessible from your nearest Municipal Corporation. Look out for vulnerable persons in your community who would need assistance. Additionally, persons in hilly areas should anticipate Landslides and Landslips. This is a developing story - refresh this page for updates.
