The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) yesterday shared cleaning supplies to residents of Great Troolie Island, Essequibo Islands-West Demerara after it was hit by spring tide flooding recently.
CDC’s Senior Response Officer, Captain Salim October told the Department of Public Information (DPI) that due to a flood report received on Saturday the Commission conducted an assessment of the Region Three area.
“This was a collaboration between the Guyana Police Force representative who was in contact with members of the island. Based on that collaboration the CDC was contacted by the Police and we were able to follow up directly with the residents on the island,” October told DPI.
