Ammon News - As severe weather is expected to affect the Kingdom, the Greater Amman Municipality Saturday declared a state of maximum alert and urged the public to take safety precautions.

Municipality spokesperson Nasser Rahamneh urged citizens to call its operations rooms in cases of emergency, tie down any objects that could fly off rooftops due to gusty winds, stay clear of valleys and low-lying areas where torrents and flash floods could form and keep streets clean in order not to block manholes.

He also called for inspecting submersible pumps on floors and commercial stores that are below street level and taking precautions when storing goods in warehouses and basements.
