Civil Defence Issues Guidelines for Protection Against Severe Weather

The Civil Defence Force has issued guidelines to the public for protection against severe weather, following a yellow warning for rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds expected to primarily affect coastal and mountainous areas. The instructions include self-protection measures against floods, such as cleaning drains and gutters, removing objects that may be carried away by water, and preparing for possible evacuation. Guidance is also provided on what to do during and after a flood, such as avoiding flooded areas and ensuring safety before repairing damage.
