The Emergency Operations Center (COE) has kept the highest alert (red) level in place for eleven Dominican provinces and issued a Yellow Alert for a further 15 provinces. These warnings come in response to frontal systems that have led to rains in Santo Domingo and other parts of the country, as well as an area of low pressure in the southeastern Caribbean. The Red Alert is for the provinces of San Cristobal, San Jose de Ocoa, Azua, Peravia, Barahona, Monsignor Nouel, La Vega, Sanchez Ramirez, Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Monte Cristi and Duarte (especially the Lower Yuna River Basin). The Yellow Alert is for the National District, Santo Domingo province, Pedernales, Independencia, Santiago, Espaillat, Salcedo, Monte Plata, Santiago Rodriguez, San Juan de la Maguana, Dajabon, Valverde and Bahoruco. The alert comes two weeks after Tropical Storm Noel flooded large areas of the Dominican Republic, causing widespread loss of life and much destruction. Thousands are still homeless. At 7pm on Sunday the meteorological office reported over three inches of rain in Bonao, and two inches in Loma de Cabrera.
