Ammon News - The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) declared a moderate state of emergency, effective Wednesday afternoon, to deal with a cold and humid air mass at the front of an air depression that affected the Kingdom on Wednesday evening, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD).

GMD's spokesperson, Nasser Rahamneh, confirmed the readiness of the municipality’s staff on the ground to deal with any reports received at the Tla’ Al-Ali emergency room, calling on citizens to call the unified call center numbers (102 and 117180) if any observation is detected.

The GMD called for taking caution by staying away from valley streams and low-lying areas, not connecting house gutters (roofs) to sewage manholes (sewers) to avoid overflowing into the roads, and not throwing waste randomly as it causes the closure of rainwater drainage lines.
