The Min­istry of Works and In­fra­struc­ture has in­ten­si­fied de­silt­ing op­er­a­tions and drainage as­sess­ments across sev­er­al flood-prone ar­eas as prepa­ra­tions con­tin­ue for the 2026 rainy sea­son.

In a se­ries of up­dates post­ed on Face­book, the min­istry said teams have been car­ry­ing out de­silt­ing works along the San Juan Riv­er at John­ny King Street, Aranguez, aimed at im­prov­ing wa­ter flow and re­duc­ing the risk of flood­ing in sur­round­ing com­mu­ni­ties.

Heavy equip­ment was al­so de­ployed at the site as crews con­tin­ued clear­ing ac­cu­mu­lat­ed silt and de­bris from the wa­ter­course.
