Mayor Wagner Says Pumping Stations Helping Reduce Belize City Flooding

Recent rainfall has once again left sections of Belize City with standing water, renewing concerns about flooding and the city’s ability to manage heavy downpours. But Mayor Bernard Wagner says pumping stations have helped mitigate flooding in downtown Belize City, while additional efforts are being considered for areas where the problem remains most concerning. Calling into Love News’ Morning Show this morning, Wagner discussed the city’s flood mitigation efforts, resources received through the Climate Vulnerability Reduction Project, and the role Belizeans must play as climate change presents new challenges.
