Residents of 3rd Avenue in Loubiere have reported that they are safe following a landslide in the area on Monday evening.
DNO visited the area on Tuesday morning and spoke to residents of the incident.
One resident told DNO that the slide took place just after 8:00 pm and children were on the street playing.
“We heard a loud boom and we knew something had happened,” the resident, who did not want her name published, told DNO.
She said neighbors went to investigate and saw the landslide.
The resident said everyone knew the landslide would take place since the dirt has been “hanging there” since Hurricane Maria.
She said there is another section that neighbors are monitoring closely.
She stated that after the slide the police were called and they lit up the area.
A few people were told to vacate the scene for their own safety.
“So far everything is in order,” the resident, who did not vacate her home, said. “We are all safe and fine.”
There have been no official reports from the authorities on the incident.
Dominica should be under France!!
Time to move away from the dependent mindset over to the independent mindset. We can achieve success in this country if we REALLY want it. All is not lost
Nope. Too many “experts” and entitles idiots here for any real progress to take place. Everyone knows what could should would be done. But yet we are always left with less than mediocre developments.
France do not want black people in the country.
From London England
Jahover grace and jha rise up straight from the family and friends and colleagues hopefully not too much damage by jah greace we are praying for you all blessings keep safe some how
Compared to what the ruling DLP is doing after we get so much “wood” from Maria it make the hurricane look like child’s play. Maria come and gone but we seems to be stuck in reverse gear. Honestly, the progress we are making is strictly in the private sector. Government looks like they don’t even know where to turn. So yes I join your plea but to the UN please rescue us from this catastrophe we are now facing called Typhoon Medard DLP
Assertive like Ma Maria!
To tell you the truth ,,absolutely nothing is being done in DA right now I just came back up on the 5 and it is a shame to say there is nothing being done .The port is an accident waiting to happen.It is a safety hazard.The government is doing nada.Dominican I must say like it so .I am watching what will happen next election
Dominica is crying for help because of all the corruption going on in its nature land. All the misuse of its land among other things is messing with the nature isle..
There was also a major landslide over the weekend between the road and river at Antrim. Not surprising, as on a daily basis more and more weight is being piled on the road.
I tried to report the slide but no success in getting through to Disaster Management. No answer on any of their numbers. Same difficulty via the police emergency number(s).
Incidentally, are the government email addresses working yet? I’ve been unable to reach any department since Maria.
Welcome to the country called HELL.
Maria brought to light what the opposition has been saying all along but we were so blind we choose to enjoy the sewo and scraps from the table while the leaders were groveling all they could. Like many who are honest in their deliberations, I can say without reservation that Dca is a failed state. It was already on its knees before Maria so she only pushed it down to the ground. Things are NOT good in this country unlike what some AVEG cool aid drinkers would want you to believe.
Assertive, but never aggressive!
But we having carnival though! What a mad country, and you all want the international world to help you all but you all are not helping yourselves. But the carnival energy into rebuilding Dominica!
So because we having carnival a land slide happened in Loubierre? Okay pal I will whoolay for you..
Ohhh my god that is scary… I pray that the people will be safe and that god will protect my sister Sharon and her son as well as everyone else who lives in loubiere.
