Spring tides continued to batter sea defences across the coast yesterday with flooding reported in almost every coastal region as the authorities scrambled to respond with hundreds of persons at risk.
“The current unprecedented high tide has affected several communities in Regions 2,3,4,5, and 6. The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) through its 24 hours National Emergency Monitoring System (NEMS) is monitoring the situation and is in contact with all the Regional Administrations that have activated their Regional Disaster Management System and are conducting assessments and updating the commission,” CDC Director-General, Lieuten-ant Colonel Kester Craig, said in a post on his Facebook page last night, hours after the tides returned with a vengeance to batter communities along the coast.
The above normal high tides are expected to continue until Wednesday.
