NSRI Port Alfred have continued throughout the weekend to assist the Municipality, Traffic Services, Police and the Emergency Services in the devastating flooding that occurred as a result of the heavy rainfalls.
On numerous occasions NSRI have been called to rescue people and animals trapped by flood waters in homes and in areas of Port Alfred.
On Sunday, 21st October, a call went out to NSRI Port Alfred volunteers requesting crew with strong backs and spades to assist the Municipality to temporarily rebuild a road and bridge.
Most of Sunday 21st our NSRI volunteers assisted the Municipality to rebuild the road and bridge that collapsed in the floods. The road, Freshwater Road, is the only access road to a suburb in Port Alfred.
Sandbags were filled and deployed to make the road passable until it can be properly repaired.
Photographs are available for media on the NSRI website www.nsri.org.za FLICKR page.
