NewzThe Dominican Republic’s Centro de Operaciones de Emergencias (COE) has placed nine provinces under yellow alert and seven under green alert due to the risk of urban flooding and the swelling of rivers, streams, and creeks. The alert is driven by a weather trough (vaguada) that the Instituto Dominicano de Meteorología (Indomet) predicts will bring moderate to heavy rain, thunderstorms, and wind gusts to the Caribbean coastal region starting Tuesday, October 27.
In response to the severe weather forecast, the Ministry of Education has ordered the preventive suspension of classes for students in vulnerable areas located within the provinces currently under yellow alert. These measures are intended to mitigate risks to the population as the weather system impacts the national territory.
