Bamboo #1 Clean Up Efforts Ongoing After TS Karen

Residents of Bamboo #1 started their day removing slush and debris from their roadways and homes, following Tropical Storm Karen. When our TTT News cameras visited the community, there was still a significant amount of water at Bamboo Extension, on Maraj/Kanhai Road, there was also water there. Speaking to one or two residents, we were informed that two pumps were functional. Meanwhile, those whose homes were affected with water swept away the slush and sanitised their yards with cleaning detergent. It's estimated that 500 residents of Bamboo Settlement were affected by flooding following the passage of Tropical Storm Karen on Sunday. The Ministers of Local Government and Health expressed gratitude to CEPEP workers and the assistance of workers from the San Juan Regional Corporation for their efforts to restore normalcy to the affected communities.
