Residents within the constituency of St. Philip South who live in flood prone areas should take steps immediately to minimize property damage and personal risk. Start by being aware of your responsibilities, be mindful of local conditions and flood hazards in your area well before disaster strikes.
Although flooding can occur at any time of year, the most severe floods result seasonally from the influences of heavy rain, mainly during the hurricane season (June 1 to November 30). Persons living in close proximity to the sea shore must also give consideration to storm surge. The incidence of storm surge increases significantly during the hurricane season, rising water levels mean you may have to evacuate, listen to your radio for instructions outlining which roads are safe for travel.
Information on hurricane and flood preparedness can be obtained from the Department of Emergency Management or by contacting the St. Philip South District Emergency Organisation.
