A weather system is due to pass over
the island later today and then another across the eastern and
central Caribbean Sea later this week - most likely Friday. Regardless of
development, these systems could bring locally heavy rainfall to St Lucia and by extension the Lesser Antilles today and over
the next couple of days. Get
prepared with Rayneau!!!!
Heavy rain can cause pooling, overflowing rivers
and runoffs, and flooding. These events may result in evacuations, power
outages, supply shortages, traffic obstructions and road closures,
infrastructure damage and debris.
Before heavy rain events begin, it is critical to
be prepared for the possibility of flooding. Taking the following steps can
help keep your household and your property out of danger.
- Inspect
your home.
- Remove
leaves and debris from gutters,
- Clear
your storm drains
- Clear
drainage areas of any debris or trash
- Make
sure that windows and doors are properly secured
- Make
sure your sump pump is working if you have one.
If there’s a risk of severe flooding in your
area,
- Move
your valuable belongings to the upper floors
- Bring
inside possessions like lawn furniture, grills, and trash cans, or else
tie them down securely.
- Charge
your cell phone,
- Put
fresh batteries in your flashlights,
- Make
sure you have adequate food and water for a few days.
You can fill your bathtubs, sinks, and plastic
soda bottles with clean water, but sanitize the sinks and tubs first by
cleaning with bleach and rinsing them.
