1. SYNOPSIS OF EVENT |
During the early morning hours of Tuesday, 6th October 2026, an intense tropical wave produced widespread heavy rainfall (up to 130.2 mm / 5.1 inches recorded in 24 hours) across mainland Saint Vincent. This triggered flash flooding, extensive landslides, rockfalls, retaining wall failures, and river overflows. While Situation Report No. 01 recorded 44 initial incidents between 2:25 a.m. and 8:18 a.m., the updated National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) incident status log now contains 103 verified records. This reflects a substantial expansion of reported impacts as field verification progressed throughout the afternoon.
