The Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government has issued a statement assuring citizens that it remains fully mobilized and coordinated across all fourteen Municipal Corporations in response to ongoing adverse weather conditions affecting Trinidad.

According to the release, persistent rainfall over the past several days has affected communities nationwide, leading to elevated river levels, localized flooding, and disruptions in some areas. While there were no reports of widespread flooding as of Monday morning, Disaster Management Units (DMUs) are maintaining heightened surveillance in vulnerable locations as conditions continue to change.

The Ministry noted moderate rainfall in several municipalities, along with localized disruptions along Kangawood Road leading to the Forres Park Landfill. River levels in the Penal/Debe region were reported to be running between 80 and 90 percent of capacity.
