Cleanup efforts at many of the municipal corporations are ongoing and going well, with disaster management units conducting assessments of damage. This follows days of heavy rain on June 10-12, causing flooding of various levels throughout Trinidad and Tobago.

Aranguez/Warner Village councillor Amit Sooknanan said his district was not affected, in stark contrast to the damage to the area in May where farmers’ fields were flooded.

“Normally we’re in a very flood-prone area, but we had a very successful cleanup, with the Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government’s flood mitigation programme in conjunction with the San Juan/Laventille Regional Corporation’s annual drainage programme.
