And while that’s Eastern Division South’s plan, Eastern Division Rural also has to prepare itself for what is forecasted to be the strongest parts of the storm. There are 32 villages in their jurisdiction, a large number of them located along the Belize River – which is now being named as the target area for Hurricane Earl.
It’s a flood prone area, and experts who know the waterways know that whenever there are heavy rains, the lagoons take on a lot of water, which causes delayed flooding days later.
Today, the lead officers of Eastern Division Rural told us that they will remain vigilant during, and well after the storm to move if there are emergencies:
The rural police have set up an emergency line, which is 635-5136, it can be called on the phone system or using WHATSAPP.
