it is a logistical nightmare though

in the usual order of things, when you try to ship something, your name,address has to be on it.
so if you try to ship 24 cases of beans on your own and it turn out some have drugs, they know who to go after.......


but when dozens of people just drop of boxes of items and label them , canned goods, clothes etc......
then it has to be itemized and shipped and cleared and checked locally....that is a logistical nightmare

better to send cash to people or organisations here who can readily buy what they need immediately.

He also mentioned that they wouldn't want things that shouldn't be coming in, to come in alongside the actual donations. Has to be pathogens or biological weapons or something because I can't see him being that concerned about weapons, drugs or other contraband, given the consistent and blatant porosity of our borders, right?

Lol if they had plans to throw it away they won’t be coming by you now would they... and like I said.

Who stopping these folks who used you to save their cars from selling it full price to an unsuspecting buyer after it’s repaired?

It's easy to talk if one hasn't experienced the situation. If I'm seeing rising flood waters and I'm unable to relocate to higher ground, I'll disconnect my battery pole to prevent any shorting within the electrical system of the vehicle. Then, as rspann said, thorough cleaning and drying of all the components before reintroducing an electrical current, coupled with proper steam cleaning and sanitizing and you should be good. I understand your point, but if I made you an offer of $100k for your $350k Hilux, because I knew it got flooded, would you let it go for that price??

Discussion about vehicles flooded as a result of a tropical wave/ITCZ activity, etc., is off topic?

Riverine Flood Alert cancelled

http://www.metoffice.gov.tt/early_warning

Headline Riverine Flood Alert Cancellation - Green Level

Description
Water levels in the nation's main river courses are now below threshold values and these rivers are now in a contained state. There has been significant improvement over the last 24 hours and although some areas are still inundated - El Socorro South, Bamboo No. 1 and parts of the Manzanilla stretch - flood waters in these areas will continue to recede, as no significant rainfall is expected over the next several days.

Instructions
Assess your environment for safety concerns. Don't take unnecessary risks. Avoid wading through residual flood waters. This is the final public warning message on this riverine flood event. Continue to monitor official sources for information. www.metoffice.gov.tt www.odpm.gov.tt
