IMPACTS
- Visibility may also be compromised during heavy downpours.
- Flooded rivers remain a potential hazard; even if it has not rained heavily in the area, heavy rains may have occurred upstream
- Heavy downpours may give rise to flash flooding leading to treacherous road conditions.
ACTIONS TO TAKE
- Avoid crossing flooded rivers and swollen streams whether on foot or in a vehicle.
- Avoid driving on a road covered by water especially at night when it is more difficult to recognize flood dangers.
- The public is advised to stay away from swollen rivers and not to drive through floodwaters as just 30cm of flowing water is enough to sweep away a vehicle.
- Clearance of waterways and drainages, ahead of time, helps reduce the impacts of heavy rains.
- Be Weather-ready; always plan with the weather in mind.
