NATIONAL HURRICANE COMMITTEE UPDATE: 2:30 PM EST

Curfew lifted but all clear not yet declared

Monday,  August 20, 2007

The Curfew on all areas of Grand Cayman was lifted at 2 pm today, but the All Clear has not yet been declared as Hurricane Dean continues to affect Grand Cayman.

Until the All Clear has been given, members of the public are urged to exercise extreme caution for their own safety and well-being when traveling on the roads. While road clearing is ongoing, some areas are still impassable.

Especially flooding in the Savannah gully makes driving to and from the East impossible at the moment.

While Curfew was declared to maintain law and order, the Hurricane Warning is still in effect to protect people from the ongoing dangers of Hurricane Dean.

The All Clear will be declared later today when the worst weather has abated. However, people should adhere to all road closures and continue to listen for public safety updates specific to their area.
