The recent heavy rainfall left many neighborhoods flooded and impassable, with even the schoolyards affected by the bad weather. The local authorities, San Pedro Town Council, and Area Representative Honourable Andre Perez have started addressing the flooding issue. The works began by filling the flooded grounds at the New Horizon Seventh Day Adventist School in the DFC Area. The school was almost inaccessible due to the flood. Many applauded the efforts to remedy the problem; however, residents living in flooded neighborhoods hope their areas can be visited and assisted in any way possible.
