UPDATE (5:00 PM): The Caroni River has burst its banks in a compromised section of the river bank near Persad and Toolsie Street, Caroni Village. Flood waters are said to be rapidly rising at this time.
In an update issued at 3:13 PM this afternoon (Sunday 30th October 2022), the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) notes that river levels across major rivers and smaller tributaries of Northern, Central and Southern Trinidad are currently either spilling in some parts or close to threshold values.
A Riverine Flood Alert (Yellow Level) remains in effect until 10:00 AM on Tuesday (1st November 2022) for major water courses and smaller tributaries in North, Central and South Trinidad, including the Caroni, North Oropouche, Caparo, South Oropouche and Ortoire Rivers. According to the Met Office, run-off from heavy rainfall earlier today is still causing levels to slowly rise and periods of rainfall are still likely over the next twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours. As a result, there is moderate risk to public safety, livelihood and property. Below are the various river capacities as at 3:30 PM:
Citizens are advised to carefully monitor weather conditions and river/water levels. Monitor updates from official sources and plan safety measures, including emergency supplies of food and water.
