A Yellow Level Riverine Flood alert has been issued on Saturday afternoon, as the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) warns that river levels are currently near threshold values in some parts, especially along the Caroni
River basin and flooding is ongoing in certain regions as well.

A high tide is expected near 7.15 pm tonight, Saturday 8th August 2020, as such, runoff may be impeded as a result of this.

With some rainfall anticipated overnight tonight, any additional accumulations may
exacerbate the river levels. Therefore, a moderate risk to public safety, livelihoods and
property exists in these areas.

The TTMS advises to carefully monitor weather conditions and river/water levels, as well as monitor updates from official sources and plan safety measures, including emergency supplies of food and water.
