Residents of several communities in Santa Cruz and Maraval say flooding remains a persistent concern, as they fear that narrow drains and poor waste disposal could worsen the impact of heavy rainfall later this year.
On Sunday, the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service issued a Yellow Level Adverse Weather Alert, with particular focus on southern and eastern parts of the country.
However, residents in the north-west say they are also vulnerable to flooding and are worried about what lies ahead during the rainy season.
