There has been no sign of life from a landslide in San Sauveur this morning.

A second landslide came down in the Mopo area, making it even more dificult for rescue teams to reach Sansouver.

Our Kairi team and SAT TV crew are also trapped by the second landslide which came down about 10 minutes ago 1:55 pm.

Official reports say that heavy earth-moving equipment have left Roseau to assist in the rescue efforts

Some government officials are also affected by the second lanslide

Parish Priest Father Elvio Augustine told KairiFM reporters at the scene that this has severely affected the Saint Isidore activities. He said the people of San Sauveur are saddened by the act.

Two members of the family managed to escape while 3 are still unaccounted for.
