In the Ma­yaro ad­min­is­tra­tive dis­trict, the Mafek­ing Riv­er was mea­sured at 40% ca­pac­i­ty. A to­tal of 60 sand­bags were dis­trib­uted to help mit­i­gate any fur­ther im­pact from the rain­fall.

The Biche ad­min­is­tra­tive dis­trict record­ed the low­est riv­er lev­els so far, with the Canque, Plum Mi­tan and Charu­ma Rivers at 20%, 25% and 20% ca­pac­i­ty re­spec­tive­ly. How­ev­er, the area saw the high­est num­ber of weath­er-re­lat­ed in­ci­dents. A tree fell on a house in Charu­ma Vil­lage, prompt­ing a re­sponse from the DMU, who con­duct­ed an as­sess­ment and re­moved the ob­struc­tion. An­oth­er tree blocked the Cu­napo South­ern Main Road at Kowl­lessar Trace, Biche, but it was cleared by a co­or­di­nat­ed team from the DMU, T&TEC, and the Min­istry of Works.

Field of­fi­cers have been de­ployed through­out the re­gion and are con­duct­ing IDAs and Sur­vey123 as­sess­ments. The DMU’s mon­i­tor­ing ef­forts re­main on­go­ing.
