St. Vincent and the Grenadines has been declared a level two disaster zone, following heavy rainfall caused by a trough system this week.
Level two Disaster means that the Government is managing locally with the restoration process, but it would require external assistance.
Delivering a National Address Yesterday, Acting Prime Minister Girlyn Miguel said the impact of the heavy rains on the country is phenomenal.
Minister Miguel expressed sadness at the death of the eight individuals, as a result of the torrential rains.
