Low-pressure troughs cause COE to act

[NewsWhore]

The Emergency Operations Center (COE) reported yesterday that due to two low-pressure troughs over the Mona Passage and central Cuba, regional and municipal directors of Civil Defense and other emergency and rescue agencies have been instructed to be prepared and to take the necessary precautionary measures. Residents in low-lying areas or near rivers, creeks or streams are at risk of flooding and landslides. On Monday some 50 to 80mm of rain fell over much of the country. The COE says that the interaction between the two troughs will cause scattered thunderstorms and heavy rains along the frontier, the Central Mountains, the northeast and the southeast.
