The Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) has begun a $23-million programme to clear 27 gullies and drains across nine coastal divisions as part of efforts to reduce flooding during the 2026 hurricane season.
The work forms part of phase one of the KSAMC's 2026 Disaster Mitigation Programme, according to Deputy Mayor of Kingston, Councillor Lorraine Dobson.
Speaking at Tuesday's KSAMC meeting in downtown Kingston, Dobson said the project is aimed at improving the municipality's drainage infrastructure and reducing the risk of flooding during periods of heavy rainfall.
