The Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice (TTMS) has is­sued a River­ine Flood Alert Yel­low lev­el for ma­jor wa­ter cours­es and small­er trib­u­taries in North, Cen­tral and South Trinidad. In­clud­ing the Ca­roni, North Oropouche, Ca­paro, South Oropouche and Or­toire rivers.

Ac­cord­ing to a press re­lase from the TTMS, Riv­er lev­els across ma­jor rivers and small­er trib­u­taries of north­ern, cen­tral and south­ern Trinidad are cur­rent­ly ei­ther spilling in some parts or close to thresh­old val­ues. Runoff from heavy rain­fall ear­li­er to­day is still caus­ing lev­els to slow­ly rise and pe­ri­ods of rain­fall are still like­ly over the next 24 - 48 hours. As a re­sult, there is mod­er­ate risk to pub­lic safe­ty, liveli­hood and prop­er­ty.
