Prepare for the Upcoming Monsoon: What You Need to Know
As the monsoon season approaches, it’s essential to stay informed and prepared. The Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has already warned that the sixth monsoon spell is set to begin on August 5, and this has prompted important measures in districts like Rawalpindi. All leaves for Rescue 1122 personnel have been canceled, ensuring that emergency services are ready to assist in case of severe weather conditions.
In recent days, rainfall has already impacted various areas, including Murree, Chakwal, and Lahore. This preview of what’s to come hints at the potential for flooding, so it’s crucial for residents to take precautions. The PDMA has activated numerous community emergency response teams to aid with early evacuations and first-aid support in sensitive areas.
If you’re in the affected regions, keep in mind some basic safety tips. Avoid going near drains or power poles during rainstorms, and ensure that your rooftop drains are cleared to prevent water buildup. It’s always best to stay inside during heavy rainfall when possible.
Moreover, a 24/7 District emergency control room is now operational. This means real-time monitoring of weather conditions and water levels is underway, further ensuring community safety. With past incidents resulting in casualties and property damage, being proactive is key.
If you find yourself in need of assistance or witness someone who does, remember to call 1122 right away. Your prompt action could make a significant difference.
