With the rainfall recorded over the past month being the second highest in four decades, Prime Minister Mark Phillips yesterday reported that close to 30,000 households in more than 300 communities across the country have been affected by the resulting floods.
“Based on the latest seasonal reports, it is estimated that we will continue to experience above normal rainfall during the period June to August, 2021,” Phillips also told the National Assembly on Thursday afternoon at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre at Liliendaal.
“With these conditions expected to continue in the coming weeks, Mr Speaker, residents are asked to take necessary precautions and safeguard against additional flooding, strong winds, lightning and mud slides in their community,” he warned.
