FLOOD ALERT: ANAMBRA GOVERNMENT URGES RESIDENTS TO TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
By Maureen Ugwukah
The Anambra State Government has issued a flood alert to all residents of the state following a forecast by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET).
The forecast listed Anambra as one of the states likely to experience above-normal flooding this year due to its location within the delta belt.
The alert was jointly issued by the Ministry of Information and Value Reformation and the Ministry of Environment on September 22.
The Commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, Dr. Law Mefor, and the Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Clem Aguiyi, said government is taking proactive steps to mitigate the impact of the anticipated flooding.
They, however, called on Ndi Anambra to prioritise personal and collective safety throughout the rainy season.
Residents are therefore strongly advised to remain vigilant and take the NiMET prediction seriously throughout the rainy season.
They are also advised to avoid unnecessary movements during heavy downpours, whether on foot or by vehicle.
The government further urged residents to take all necessary precautionary measures to ensure personal safety, including relocating from flood-prone areas where necessary and seeking help promptly during emergencies.
The government reiterated its commitment to safeguarding lives and property and solicited maximum cooperation from the public.
