The National Disaster Management Agency (NaDMA) and the Meteorological Office at the Maurice Bishop International Airport continue to monitor a tropical wave that has brought heavy rains and thundershowers to the island.
NaDMA has received several reports of landslides, flooded homes and roadways and land slippages throughout the island.
The public is advised to avoid trying to access areas that are currently flooded so as to minimize the endangerment to human lives.
Residents are also encouraged to stay indoors as much as possible.
Acting Disaster Coordinator Supt. Sylvan McIntyre is reminding residents of the need to have an emergency plan.
The police have activated their Severe Weather response plan and have erected no entry signs in areas impassable. They are encouraging residents to respect and obey the closures and diversions in effect.
