Grenada got $100 million from us for the hurricane but Rowley only going to give us $25 million and we are citizens of this country?

You realise that more could be given ....maybe it's just an initial amount?

Please stop trying to defend this administration!

its even worse that the odpm made such a stupid statement about it going to coast a lot of money before even showing an ounce of compassion for victims!
just goes to show the type of idiotic fools in positions of power in our country right now.

Its a statement of fact.
If you see that as a defense...ok.

So with all this extra rain and the water rising again, the government's official instruction yesterday was to go out to work today. I wonder how many more people going to be stuck tonight.

Does third party insurance policyholders have any coverage for flooding?

Unless specified on your insurance coverage, "acts of god" are not normally covered. So even fully comp people may not get anything.

I don’t think your 100% accurate here. Third party polices are just that... they cover the insured’s liability to people other than the insured. As for comprehensive polices the usually cover a range of named perils inclusive of “Flood”. Each policy will have its own criteria of what equates to flood (especially for household or property insurance). Each person should check their policy’s or speak with their insurance providers for more definitive answers.

The only way I could see a flood not being covered under a comprehensive policy is it if was specifically taken out of the insurance cover by the Insured or the agent to save on premium.

You are correct. It is covered under a full comp. Insurance policy. Beacon has already started collecting vehicles from owners and has given instructions to us to deal was any problems associated with the flood damage. We have already collected quite a few . Dealing with them quickly is important because further damage is possible if the water is left in certain components. There was a hotline set up all weekend for affected clients to call in and members of the team has been out in the field taking reports of damages. There are tow trucks on stand by to collect any damaged or flooded vehicles.

Mc Bean, Couva presently experiencing a significant down-pour and looks as if it will be with us for awhile.
Usual areas prone to flooding seem certain to take a hit.
Yes it doesn't look good since the skies are black/grey as far as the eye can see.
If you are on the roadways go easy and be alert.

Caroni river crosses highway…again

The Caroni river has begun flowing onto the Uriah Butler Highway again after receding earlier today.

An official from the Ministry of Works told Newsday at 5 pm, that the river near the highway was at capacity near the Caroni overpass and the water had reached the edge of the road.

Drivers are still on the Southbound lane but only two lanes are available as the third lane has been blocked by traffic cones to ensure the safety of drivers.

The drain that passes close to the Caroni overpass is not the Caroni River though. Its that drain that is overflowing onto the highway.

RBC donated $300,000.00 to the Red Cross.

Republic Bank boasting of making billions in profit every year, how much money did they donate to flood victims most of which are their customers btw?

[vaiostation]

^^^ Banks are about making money, not about helping or caring for anyone.
If they have so much contempt for their own customers, how much do you think they gonna have for people that they can't make any money from.
