Health, and emergency management representatives, are to conduct an assessment in Rocky Point, Clarendon today (July 13), following clean-up activities which started in the community, last week.

The community had been flooded, due to rising sea levels.

Councillor for the Rocky Point Division, Winston Maragh, says equipment had been brought-in, to remove the water from the community.

He says representatives from the health department and the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management, ODPEM, will re-visit the community today to determine the scope of work left to be done.

In the meantime, one resident, Sandrea Mulgrave, is appealing to the health department, to step-up its vector control measures, to prevent mosquito-bourne diseases.
