Following a record amount of rainfall this month the authorities at Rhode Island are now asking the president of the country, Barack Obama, to declare the state under a state of emergency. One of the reasons that this status is preferred is because it will allow the state to call for more disaster recovery facilities such as a crew that is sent to assess and repair or assist in any kind of natural or man made disaster. The Rhode Island Department of Transport, better known as RIDOT, has released some information on it’s website relating to what train services have been effected by the flooding that was caused by the rain.
Details for those concerned about how to commute to work are available in full on the RIDOT website and it is important that you go through them if you’re a resident of Rhode Island as the train will probably leave you a station or two before your desired destination to prevent damage to trains which might falter due to water damage.
The rain for the month of March was something that has left major portions of the State non-functional and Cranston is a region that has suffered the worst blow of the roughly fifteen and a half inches of rain that fell this month. RIDOT is not going to be taking any responsibility for the customers inability to get to the station they want and it is being advised that people either take buses or boats into central Cranston and the areas which are intending to visit – the boat bit is just a little joke, don’t take it too seriously.
