Jordan | The Secretariat declares a medium state of emergency to deal with the weather

Weather of Arabia - The Greater Amman Municipality declared a medium state of emergency, starting on Saturday morning, to deal with the expected weather instability, according to reports from the weather forecasting centers, of rain.

The media spokesman for the Municipality of Amman, Nasser Al-Rahamneh, confirmed the readiness of the Municipality's cadres in the field to deal with any reports received by the Tla'a Al-Ali emergency room, calling on fellow citizens, in the event of monitoring any observation, to contact the unified call center numbers (102 and 117180).

He also called for taking precautions by staying away from the streams of valleys and low areas, and not connecting the gutters of houses (the roof) to the sewage (sewage) outlets to avoid overflowing in the roads, and not dumping waste indiscriminately because it caused the closure of rainwater drainage lines.

He stressed the need to inspect the submersible pumps in the floors and shops that are below street level, and for merchants to take preventive precautions when storing goods in warehouses and basements.

The Municipality called on contractors and owners of construction projects to take the initiative to secure building materials in order to avoid drifting and causing direct closure of rainwater drainage lines.
