Preparing for Upcoming Rainfall: What You Need to Know
Hey there! If you’ve checked your weather app or flicked on the news lately, you might have noticed that the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a nationwide alert. This is due to a forecast of moderate to heavy rainfall expected to hit many parts of the country over the next three days. So, let’s talk about what this means for you and how you can brace yourself.
The NDMA’s National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) has laid out a three-day weather-impact outlook. What’s fueling this downpour? Moisture from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal is moving in, which typically suggests we should be prepared for some serious rain.
One main concern? Flash floods. These can easily occur in areas near local streams and nullahs, so if you live near any of these, it’s time to take action. Major rivers like the Indus and Chenab are expected to see substantial increases in flow, with essential barrages such as Tarbela and Chashma already reporting low to medium flood levels. Keep an eye on that!
But it’s not just rivers; the NDMA has specifically highlighted flash flooding risks in regions like Dera Ghazi Khan and districts across Balochistan, including places such as Sibi and Kalat. If you live in or are traveling to any of these areas, make sure you’re extra cautious.
Let’s not forget about the hill areas—if you’re in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Murree, or even Gilgit-Baltistan, you’ll want to stay vigilant for potential land and mudslides. Nobody likes getting stuck in a traffic jam caused by a landslide, right?
So, what can you do to prepare? Simple steps like stocking up on essentials, securing loose items around your property, and staying informed through local news updates can make a huge difference. And remember, if travel is part of your plans in the coming days, always check road conditions ahead of time.
