Public Advisory

Friday July 18, 2014 – 10:15 a.m.


ODPM urges citizens to be vigilant of showers and thundershowers over Trindad and Tobago for the next 6 – 8 hours



The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service issued a bulletin at 7:30 a.m. informing of showery activity over Trinidad and Tobago. Over the past few hours, parts of Trinidad and Tobago have been experiencing cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain/showers. This is due to the passage of a Tropical Wave which is interacting with the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).


Cloudy to overcast conditions with moderate to heavy showers and thundershowers are forecast to affect Trinidad and Tobago over the next 6 to 8 hours. The possibility of landslides/landslips and localized street/flash flooding may occur in heavy downpours. Gusty winds can be expects in the vicinity of showers and thundershowers. Citizens are therefore advised to be vigilant and cautious as they conduct their activities and to be alert to electrical discharges from thundercloud activity.


The ODPM, as the lead coordinator of emergency management, has put the first responder agencies (TT Fire Service, TT Defence Force and the municipal corporations) on alert so that immediate assistance can be rendered if any adverse impact occurs. The ODPM reminds all citizens that if they have been affected by this inclement weather, to please contact our Customer Care Centre at 511.



Consequently, we continue to underscore the following:-


After heavy rainfall, stay inside until water levels have subsided and it is safe to venture outside.

Do not walk / drive through flood waters.

Be cautious when walking /driving along hillsides or landslide prone areas.



Trinidad and Tobago is NOT currently under any Tropical Storm threat, Watch or Warning. The TT Meteorological Service is monitoring this weather situation and will advise the ODPM if there is a drastic change.

Move to fcuk out ! It's not the first time ah telling you this..

Is always Trinidad this and Trinidad that with you. Go frigging US and live and see if these things doh happen there nah ! Pusshole !

[S_2NR]

right on time. a "patriot" has arrived.
say what you want, the US is more able to handle natural disasters than we are currently. so stop talking sheit.
trinidad doesnt flood every year in similar places over and over and over again?
what is being done about it?
if a hurricane hits trinidad tomorrow? you think you could go yuh band launch after or this country would be in ruins?
lemme hear...ill wait..

is always "trinidad this" and "trinidad that" because this country has alot of very fixable problems that those in power do nothing about it and you "patriots" support them. and as long as im here i will voice my opinion, i dont give a dam what you think. this flooding thing is plenty sheit and it is out of control. every time it rains people have to be afraid for their belongings, their property and their safety.

this country is in a mess in alot of ways. we need to wake up and demand better from those in power.

Once more u prove you know nothing about life in the US.

[Fini]

Same places flood every year .......... well considering half of those places are FLOODPLAINS, you think it get that name by accident? Go wipe out the forests and see what yuh get nah !?!?! Go fill the rivers with yuh garbage. You need two hands to clap, but seems that people want one hand to do everything and the other hand to put on dey head and bawl.

Not apologising for anyone, but the same bellyache every year is getting old.
The infrastructure of Trinidad was not made to handle this level of rainfall and if someone ever decides to bite the bullet and fix it, there will still be more bellyaching about how other places not getting money etc. .......

[S_2NR]

well if you lived in the US before enlighten me cinco.
how is Trinidad better than the US in this regard?
Also, he is the one who started this comparison sheit.
I just want to know what is being done to alleviate this flooding problem that happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR?
