ABOUT THE RAINFALL, NOVEMBER 1ST 2024

Remarks by Minister of Communications and Public Works Hon. Kye M. Rymer ON THE RAINFALL, NOVEMBER 1, 2024.My fellow residents of the Virgin Islands,

Over the course of last night into this morning, our area received just over 2 inches of rain, resulting in saturated soil conditions. As we make it through the day, the risk of landslide remains high.

In light of these circumstances, I urge all motorists to be vigilant and drive carefully, especially on sloped roads where hazards are more likely to occur.

If you encounter debris on the main roads, do not hesitate to contact the Public Works Department (PWD) at 468-9368 or 468-5906. Your reports are vital to ensuring our roads remain safe for everyone.

In addition, the Department of Disaster Management has advised that a watch remains in force due to persistent moisture in the area. With the current heating conditions, it is essential that everyone remains alert and aware of their surroundings.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to safety during this time.
