The weather forecasters are predicting a tropical storm in Tunisia over the next 24 to 48 hours. Already 17 people have died in flooding in the south. There is every possibility of worse flooding to come. We have prepared our consular team for what might be in store, and we have contacted our network of "wardens" to let them know what is predicted. These individuals play a really important role by helping make sure information from the Embassy reaches as many British citizens in Tunisia as possible.
This is an opportunity to remind British readers living in Tunisia of the importance of registering with us. You can do so via the consular pages on our website, through a system called LOCATE. It helps us a great deal if we know where our citizens are clustered and if we know how to contact them when the unexpected happens.
Now we watch and wait.
