The Of­fice of Dis­as­ter Pre­pared­ness and Man­age­ment (ODPM) is ad­vis­ing res­i­dents and com­muters in the Diego Mar­tin area to ex­er­cise cau­tion. This is due to flash flood­ing in parts of Bagatelle and re­ports that the Diego Mar­tin Riv­er lev­els are cur­rent­ly high.

In an ad­vi­so­ry re­leased a short while ago, the agency ad­vised: "Per­sons liv­ing or com­mut­ing along the riv­er bank are ad­vised to mon­i­tor the con­di­tions and take pre­cau­tion­ary mea­sures to safe guard life and prop­er­ty. If in the area, get to high­er ground. Wait un­til the flood wa­ter sub­sides. Use al­ter­na­tive routes, where pos­si­ble.

There are al­so re­ports of flood­ing in Mar­aval, along the Cou­va Main Road and Pointe-a-Pierre.

Cit­i­zens af­fect­ed by flood­ing are urged to con­tact their re­spec­tive Dis­as­ter Man­age­ment Unit to re­ceive as­sis­tance and mit­i­gate dam­ages.
