Met Office: Riverine Flood Alert, Yellow Level, Is Now In Effect

A riverine flood alert yellow level is now in effect.

After rainfall overnight and today, river levels along the Caroni River are currently near 90% and continue to rise.

With occasional periods of heavy showers still likely over the next 24 hours, this additional rainfall can keep the river levels elevated, so there remains a moderate risk to public safety, livelihood and property.

The public is being urged 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.

Do not take unnecessary risks.

Follow the instructions of government officials.
