The Diego Martin highway is closed and all traffic is being diverted to Petit Valley and Diego Martin main roads and this is causing stifling traffic in and out of the area.

For anyone wanting to volunteer their help for the clean up in the West or make a complaint about the lack of help they can call 511. It could be that the mention of a holiday ( see Source 1 ) also will help the people in the West because many vehicles have been lost to the flood waters. The Diego Martin Central community centre has been set up to help people that have become homeless and it is being protected by the defense force in case anyone is worried about being victimized there.

There were floods again today bringing back a lot of the mud that workers have been trying to take out of homes. It is a holiday today because of the Olympic celebrations but I wonder...

Most of the victims from this natural disaster complained about the lack of help especially those not in the flat lands.

The tail end of that storm did so much flooding all over Trinidad. The drainage situation in this country needs to be seriously addressed right away. No talking about what you plan to do but instead get workmen out there and do it!
