Besides interrupting residents’ lives, flooding caused by torrential rainfall in Region Ten is affecting the region’s agricultural sector with many reporting loss of crops and poultry, Chairman Deron Adams has said.
Several parts of the country are currently experiencing record amounts of rainfall. The situation has resulted in the Regional Democratic Council reaching out to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) for assistance.
A statement by the CDC on Tuesday said that an assessment team was dispatched to the impacted areas during the past week and after comprehensive assessments, hampers were distributed to a number of affected households in several communities.
