The Emergency Operations Center (COE) in Santo Domingo has issued a critical alert this Friday, warning of deteriorating sea conditions along the Dominican Republic’s Atlantic coast. The heightened risk is attributed to the indirect influence of Tropical Storm Jerry, which is currently active in the region. According to the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet), the storm is expected to generate perilous waves starting this afternoon, posing significant threats to maritime activities. In response, authorities have strongly advised operators of small and medium-sized vessels to remain docked until the situation stabilizes. Furthermore, civil protection units in coastal zones have been mobilized to enforce preventive measures, ensuring the safety of fishermen, recreational boaters, and swimmers. The COE emphasized the importance of vigilance and adherence to safety protocols to mitigate potential hazards during this period of heightened weather activity.
