Trinidad & Tobago |
On Tuesday, 16 October 2018, the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Office (TTMS) issued an Adverse Weather Alert (Yellow Level) that predicted showers and thunderstorms due to the presence of an Inter-Tropical Convergent Zone (ITCZ); the warning was in place from Wednesday, 17 to Friday, 19 October. On Thursday, 18 October, the TTMS upgraded the alert to Orange Level, as the ITCZ continued to produce intermittent periods of rain/showers and thunderstorm activity. Late Thursday, 18 October, the TTMS issued a Riverine Flood Alert (Red Level), as river levels exceeded threshold levels and some overflowed their banks. Since additional rainfall was forecasted , river levels were expecected to remain elevated for the next several days.
On Friday, 19 October, the Piarco International Airport was closed for several hours as the weather made it impossible for aircraft to land, and the surrounding roadways were flooded. That same day, the ODPM issued Public Advisory #8 at 2031 hours, which alerted the TTRCS Disaster Management system of an ongoing life-threatening operation in the Greenvale Park community of La Horquetta, where residents were stranded on their roofs due to the rapid onset of floodwaters in a two-hour period.
On Saturday, 20 October a national newspaper described the floods as ?catastrophic'. (Trinidad Express 20.10.18), and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) advised that the main north-south highway was impassable; nevertheless, the country's president has not issued an official national disaster declaration in accordance with the Disaster Measures Act. The persistent rainfall has caused flooding in approximately 80 per cent of the country, primarily the north, east and central parts of the island nation such as Sangre Grande, Matelot, La Horquetta, St. Helena, Caroni and Mayaro. There are reports from the ODPM and CDEMA's Situation Report #1, (CDEMA, 22 Oct. 2018) of up 100,000 to 150,000 people impacted by the flooding. Additionally, official reports from ODPM and CDEMA indicate that 800 people are currently seeking shelter in collective centres; however, this number will fluctuate as people leave the centres to return home and begin the cleanup. |

Costa Rica |
On October 2, the National Meteorological Institute (IMN) warned of a low pressure system coming in out of the south-western Caribbean Sea that activated an Inter-tropical Convergence Zone over the country and over the waters of the Pacific (Meteorological Report # 2). On October 4, IMN detected two other low pressure systems (Meteorological Report # 8) - one in the Caribbean near the Nicaraguan coast and another in the Pacific in western Costa Rica - that led to even more intense rainfall as well as strong storm conditions along the Pacific coast and slightly milder conditions in other parts of the country. Rains of varying intensity fell in Pacific regions and even in the Central Valley. The greatest amount of rainfall was recorded in the Nicoya Peninsula and the Central Pacific - between 50-150 mm over a period of 24 hours.
Meteorological Report # 16 issued on October 5 showed the excessive moisture contributed by weather conditions on 4 and 5 October, during which time more than 300 mm of rain fell over several areas in the North Pacific and Central Pacific. The highest concentration of rain and floods were seen in the districts of Lepanto, Paquera and Puntarenas (Central), as well as in Tárcoles, Garabito, Parrita and Quepos in the Central Pacific and North Pacific coastal strip. Over a period of 24 hours, IMN reported 400 mm of accumulated rainfall in Paquera, 255 mm in Hojancha, 206 mm in Cuajiniquil, 145 mm in Sardinal, 71 mm in Liberia and Bagaces, and between 100 and 140 mm in the Central Pacific. This led to increased water levels in the Naranjo, División Saveegre and Tempisque Rivers and in lower areas of the Abangares River. |

Cameroon |
Since October 2016, the North West (NW) and South West (SW) regions of Cameroon have been experiencing social instability coupled with violence that has a negative impact on the socio-economic fabric of the country. In October 2017, the crisis escalated into an armed conflict, with various confrontations registered between armed groups and the security and defence forces. Since then, abductions and assassinations have been recorded, in addition to sporadic attacks on government institutions and civilians trapped in the cross fire. Population movement into Nigeria and other regions of Cameroon were noted as early as in January 2018, but as of 15 September 2018, the crisis took an unprecedented turn, with scores of people fleeing from these crisis-torn regions. Indeed, the armed groups circulated a note announcing that any entry and exit into and from these affected regions will be banned as of 25th September 2018 to ensure no campaign or elections holds in these regions. Presidential elections in Cameroon is set to hold on 7 October 2018 in an extremely tense socio-political context. |
