Heavy rainfall is driving dangerous flood conditions across multiple countries, and the threat is only expected to intensify as the season peaks. Low-lying areas, riverine communities, and major urban corridors are particularly vulnerable.

If you must travel, plan your routes carefully and avoid flood-prone roads. Stay updated on official weather and emergency alerts, and ensure your emergency contacts and evacuation plans are in place before you need them.

Don't wait for the water to rise before you act. Preparedness saves lives.

The NPP also mobilised a protest in the same district following the arrest of party officials.
