Suriname staring customary seasonal heavy rains in the face

Neighbouring Suriname is reportedly having its own fair share of woes arising out of the seasonal rains with which countries in South America are all too familiar.

Reports surfaced earlier this week that Guyana’s neighbour to the east has had to summon an emergency team from the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Manage-ment Agency (CDEMA) to support the country’s res-ponse to this year’s heavy flooding. Reports say that the focus of the CDEMA team’s mission will be on assessing the physical impact of the recent customary seasonal rainfall in the region.
