Amman, Sept. 30 (Petra) – Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) began
ramping up field readiness for the 2026–2027 winter season to
mitigate severe weather risks, driven by climate change.
Municipal crews are mapping, numbering, and logging all stormwater
drainage sites onto regulatory maps and GIS systems to enable rapid
response and maintenance tracking, GAM said in a statement on
Wednesday.
Work is also underway across regions to clear natural valleys,
streams, and culverts using heavy machinery to ensure unhindered
water flow.
As a precautionary measure, GAM is warning informal encampments
along flood-prone stream beds to relocate to safe ground, while heavy
tracked vehicles are positioned for emergency deployment.
GAM added that field teams are inspecting and clearing drainage
networks, bridges, and tunnels, while servicing water pumps and
suction equipment to ensure full technical operational readiness
ahead of heavy rainfall.
