Civil Defence Issues Guide for Flood and Tornado Preparedness

The Civil Defence Force has issued recommendations to the public regarding preparation for floods and tornadoes, due to the yellow warning for rain and strong winds issued by the Meteorological Department. Citizens are urged to ensure that drains and gutters are clear, protect basements from flooding, secure objects in their yards, and limit their movements during heavy rainfall. In the event of a flood, it is recommended to avoid basements and flooded roads, as well as staying away from power lines and areas with landslides. After the flood, citizens are urged to be cautious and not return to areas that have not been declared safe by the competent authorities.
