ATTIC warns of flood danger

The association noted that although a tropical storm warning was lifted at 5 am yesterday, the potential for flooding remains high in certain areas of Trinidad and citizens residing in low level areas, in close proximity to rivers and/ or within flood prone areas are advised to continue to exercise utmost caution over the next few days until flood waters subside.

We are very thankful there have been no reports of casualties, ATTIC said in a press release. It added that it is aware there will be insurable damage to property as a result of flooding and heavy winds and advised that members stand ready to assist policyholders at this critical time. As we continue into the 2017 Hurricane Season, ATTIC cautions the public to observe the many public advisories that will be published by the ODPM and other authorities, which have been designed to ensure the safety of lives and properties.

Citizens, the ATTIC release continued, should also make sure that they adequately insure their assets against windstorm and other natural perils and we encourage you to contact your insurance provider as soon as possible and certainly before the start of the peak 2017 Hurricane Season - mid August to late October.
