With the COVID-19 pandemic still a threat to large gatherings, additional shelters will be sought by the Region Nine Regional Democratic Council (RDC) as it prepares for the upcoming rainy season, Regional Chairman Bryan Allicock said yesterday.
Allicock told Stabroek News that at the moment the region is currently putting systems in place to address possible flooding from the raining season, which he said, seems to have commenced already.
“The rainfalls seem to be here because the rivers are coming up and reports from Boa Vista say the Rio Branco is rising too. So we will have to look at ways in which we monitor the flooding and the need for shelters,” the Regional Chairman said.
