CLEAN-UP operations led by the Diego Martin Borough Corporation’s Disaster Management Unit (DMU) will continue on May 19, following a weekend of heavy rains that triggered landslides and caused widespread flooding.

In a statement issued late on May 18, the corporation said clean-up efforts will proceed in the coming days as needed, depending on the evolving situation.

According to the DMBC, field officers were dispatched early on May 18 to assess reports of flooding, damage and fallen trees. The initial summary included five landslides, damage to one roof, five flooding incidents, six reports of fallen trees and one report of structural damage.
