CDC, ‘Hydromet’ warn against inclement weather

PERSONS in low-lying, riverine, and flood- prone areas are advised to take the necessary precautions against flooding, as over-topping is likely from above-normal high tides, the Hydrometeorological Service has cautioned.

Further, the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) is also urging persons to place sandbags where necessary, unplug all electrical items that are likely to come into contact with water, and elevate all household items. The Commission is also advising persons to relocate livestock to higher ground, and use purification tablets as prescribed.

Persons are also urged to report floods, damage to sea defence, overtopping and landslides to the National Emergency Monitoring Systems (NEMS) by telephone: 226-1027, 226-1117, 600-7500 (Whatsapp) 604-9929.
