He says Police will be out there to monitor the situation on the ground and they will also be checking on flooded areas.

The Assistant Commissioner of Operations says its Christmas eve and they do not want any unfortunate incident to happen.

He is calling on everyone to work together and be on a lookout for each other as we head into Christmas day.
