Ammon News - The Greater Amman Municipality declared a medium state of emergency starting Monday morning to deal with the weather conditions.
The media spokesman for the Greater Amman Municipality, Nasser Al-Rahamneh, confirmed the readiness of the municipality's field cadres to deal with any reports received by the Tlaa Al-Ali Emergency Room, calling on citizens to contact the unified call center numbers (102 and 117180) if any observation is detected.
The Greater Amman Municipality calls for taking precautions and staying away from valleys, flood channels and low-lying areas, and not connecting house gutters (roofs) to sewer manholes (sewers) to avoid flooding in the roads, and not throwing waste randomly as it causes the closure of rainwater drainage lines.
It is necessary to inspect submersible pumps on floors and shops located below street level, and for merchants to take preventive precautions when storing goods in warehouses and basements.
The Greater Amman Municipality calls on contractors and owners of construction projects to take the initiative to secure building materials to avoid their drifting and direct cause of the closure of rainwater drainage lines.
