Flood Water Expected to Move Down River to Belize River Valley Area

Al Westby

Central Regional Coordinator Al Westby told News Five that the Belize River Valley area is already on guard for what is to come in the next few days. The water from the Mopan and Macal Rivers are expected to flow down to the Belize District and into the city.  The water levels along the Belize River are already increasing, but slowly; so is the lagoon in Crooked Tree.  Westby says that it is being monitored by personnel on the ground and that residents are being informed to prepare.

“We have been constantly reminding the people in the Belize River Valley area. Our coordinator from within that area, Mister Gillett and his assistant have been doing their groundwork, advising these people, warning them that within a couple days time this impact will be in the Belize River Valley area where you will probably meet me again doing the same thing.”
