The Ministry of Works and Transport notes with concern the report by the Facebook Group "Trini Daily" that the Ministry has called an emergency meeting after receiving a memo about a tropical cyclone possibly hitting T&T, and wishes to advise the public that the Ministry has not issued any weather forecasts or bulletin regarding the possibility of an upcoming cyclone.
The Ministry wishes to maintain and advise the public further that all official weather forecasts and bulletins lie within the ambit of the Trinidad & Tobago Meteorological Service. The Ministry recognises and is very concerned with the rising trend of inaccurate information circulating in the public domain, and urges the public to visit the Ministry’s website and social media pages to verify the veracity of all information purported to be from the Ministry of Works and Transport.
