~ Disaster Management advises caution ~
PHILIPSBURG--Heavy rainfall is expected to continue today, Monday, and the Department of Disaster Management ODM is advising South-side residents (Philipsburg, Pointe Blanche, etc.) in particular to be extra cautious on the road.
The Meteorological Department of Cura�ao (MDC) forecast on Sunday moderate to heavy showers that could cause street or urban flooding. Weather conditions deteriorated Sunday due to a mid- to upper-level trough coming into the area that is forecast to continue to influence the weather today. From all indications, the periods of rainfall will be intermittent and therefore today is a normal business and school day.
Persons should be on the lookout for possible flooding in low-lying areas, street flooding and rock falls due to possible persistent, heavy rainfall that is expected to continue today.
The Fire Department surveyed the districts yesterday and no major problems were discovered. The Ministry of Public Housing, Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure VROMI has opened the Great Bay Channel to allow water from Fresh Pond to flow into the ocean.
ODM is advising the public that in case of heavy rainfall today, they should avoid low-lying areas, look out for possible street flooding and, if the rainfall is persistent, watch out for rock falls while driving along hillsides. If they do not have to be on the road, they should remain at home. If it is necessary to go to work, driving cautiously is advised.
