The Office of Public Works has not received any information on flooding on any island arising from the recent heavy rainfall. It is highly likely that any flooding on the islands resulted solely from tidal flooding, which is the responsibility of the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources. In accordance with the recommendations contained in the report of the flood policy review group approved by the Government last month, the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources will continue its current role in relation to coastal erosion and coastal flooding.
