The Min­istry of Rur­al De­vel­op­ment and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment (MoRDLG) re­port­ed min­i­mal im­pact from the trop­i­cal wave that passed over Trinidad and To­ba­go on Sun­day. The Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice (TTMS) has since dis­con­tin­ued the Ad­verse Weath­er Alert as weath­er con­di­tions have im­proved across most ar­eas.

Ac­cord­ing to the Min­istry, some com­mu­ni­ties ex­pe­ri­enced short-term street and res­i­den­tial flood­ing due to heavy rain­fall, but there was no sig­nif­i­cant or wide­spread dam­age. Dis­as­ter Man­age­ment Units (DMUs) across all 14 Mu­nic­i­pal Cor­po­ra­tions re­main on alert and con­tin­ue to mon­i­tor vul­ner­a­ble ar­eas prone to flood­ing and land­slides.

Min­is­ter of Rur­al De­vel­op­ment and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment Khadi­jah Ameen thanked first re­spon­ders, DMU per­son­nel, and com­mu­ni­ty vol­un­teers for their swift co­or­di­na­tion dur­ing the pe­ri­od of ad­verse weath­er. She al­so cred­it­ed the mit­i­ga­tion work of the Min­istry of Works and In­fra­struc­ture and the clean-up cam­paigns un­der­tak­en by the Mu­nic­i­pal Cor­po­ra­tions for help­ing to re­duce the po­ten­tial im­pact.
