Keep Off the Roads
The Department of Disaster Management (ODM) advises motorists to keep off the roads if they do not have to be out at this point in time. If you have to work then drive with caution and watch out for street flooding in low lying areas and rock falls along hill sides.
Residents are asked to secure their garbage bins as there have been reports of bins along the public roads. This is creating a hazard to motorists.
Princess Juliana International Airport
PJIA is open to air traffic; however the weather situation is being closely monitored and the airport will determine when and if it is necessary to shut down operations. Those who are scheduled to travel or have friends or family arriving are asked to contact the respective airline for details.
Schools
A decision with reference to whether schools will be open or closed on Monday, August 22 will be issued in a future advisory. At this point in time it's too early to say whether schools will be closed.
Business Community
The South side of the island is not under a curfew and businesses that are open are operating as normal. Employees should report to work. Drive cautiously.
The ODM will continue to monitor this system and the public will be duly informed.
