A Flood Warning remains in effect for St. Vincent and the Grenadines today, Tuesday 29th November, 2016. A Flood Warning is issued when flooding is imminent or is already occurring. According to information received from the Barbados Meteorological Services, through the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services, an eastward moving trough system that has been affecting the islands overnight, will continue to produce moderate to heavy showers, thunderstorms and gusty winds across St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The National Emergency Management Organisation wishes to advise residents living in landslide prone areas and in areas along the riverbanks such as Buccament Bay, Rose Place, South Rivers, Spring Village, Vermont, Roucher Bay, Mesopotamia, Sandy Bay, Georgetown, Mt. Young, Byera, Gorse, Chateaubelair, Buddy Gutter, Calliaqua, Barrouallie, Layou and Fitz- Hughes THAT WE EXPECT MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND FLOODING MAY OCCUR. Further rainfall accumulations of 125 mm (5 inches) are still possible during the next 12 hours, with higher amounts in mountainous areas. Due to the already saturated nature of the soils, residents living in landslide prone areas and in areas along the riverbanks such as Buccament Bay, Rose Place, South Rivers, Spring Village, Vermont, Roucher Bay, Mesopotamia, Sandy Bay, Georgetown, Mt. Young, Byera, Gorse, Chateaubelair, Buddy Gutter, Calliaqua, Barrouallie, Layou and Fitz- Hughes are advised to exercise extreme caution and remain on the alert. This Warning may be further extended should conditions become necessary. Only Essential Workers are asked to report for work today. The National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC) has been partially activated and the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO), through the Barbados Meteorological Services and the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Office will continue to monitor the situation. |
