Civil Defence Recommendations Ahead of Bad Weather - Yellow Warning in Effect

The Civil Defence Force has issued recommendations to the public ahead of anticipated bad weather, as the Meteorological Department has issued a yellow warning for rain, storms, and potential hail from tonight until tomorrow. The recommendations primarily focus on self-protection measures against floods, such as cleaning drains and gutters, raising objects in basements, and removing items that could be swept away by water. It is also emphasized to avoid movement and stay in safe places during heavy rainfall. After the flood, caution is advised due to potential hazards from broken roads, contaminated water, and changes in the area's characteristics. Finally, it is stressed the need to confirm with the competent authorities that the area is safe before starting restoration work.
