Winter weather continues to wreak havoc

February 16, 2021

Forecasters call for another major storm system to deliver more snow and ice to parts of northern Texas and Oklahoma as early as this afternoon before heading to the Midwest, mid-Atlantic and Northeast — causing about 200 million people to be under a weather-related alert.

Northern Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas will likely see several inches of snow, and more than half a foot of fresh snow could fall by Wednesday evening in some areas. The storm is forecasted to arrive in the central Appalachians and much of the mid-Atlantic late Wednesday night. Wintry precipitation will spread over New England on Thursday.

The storm may trigger power outages in areas of the South. Daily commutes, travel and shipping may also be impacted throughout the storm’s path. The system follows a winter storm that just hit the south-central United States — bringing brutal cold and record snowfall to parts of Texas, fueling a deadly tornado in North Carolina and causing icy roadways across many states.

Tropical Storm Nana heads toward Central America

September 02, 2020

Tropical Storm Nana formed Tuesday in the Caribbean Sea and is tracking toward landfall, most likely in Belize, by early Thursday. The storm may become a hurricane just prior to landfall, possibly bringing storm surge flooding and damaging winds. Nana could also bring flooding rain to parts of Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and eastern Mexico. A tropical storm watch has been issued in Belize and northern Honduras, including Roatan Island and the Bay Islands.

Flooding hits Indonesia’s capital

February 23, 2021

Over the weekend, Jakarta was hit with their heaviest rainfall since New Year’s Eve 2020, resulting in severe flooding, particularly in the southern and eastern parts of the city. In some cases, floodwaters rose close to two metres, forcing thousands of residents to evacuate their homes and killing at least five people.

Jakarta’s drainage system was no match for the extreme heavy rain, submerging several major streets and toll roads and forcing closures and damage, including in areas that aren’t typically prone to flooding. As of Sunday, with floodwaters subsiding, over 1,700 residents remained in shelters, while many others have started to return to their homes.

Jakarta expects more rain in the coming days, triggering the possibility of additional flooding and landslides.

We’re here to support you
Sedgwick would like to ensure that our clients know we are here to help and are ready to provide emergency assistance in the region. Please contact us with any questions or to assist.
