Rainima emphasized that rising water levels have already affected low-lying areas and crossings in recent days.

However, with more rainfall expected, residents in flood-prone areas have been advised to prioritize safety and take proactive measures.

The public and motorists are urged to avoid flooded areas and to not attempt to cross flooded waters and to ensure that children and vulnerable individuals are kept away from hazardous locations.

Residents are also urged to prepare early and pack essential items such as food, clothing, medications, and important documents in case evacuation becomes necessary while all livestock are to be moved to higher ground.
