Amman, Oct 10 (Petra) – Following warnings about unstable weather
conditions forecast in the Kingdom this week, and directives for
precautions for the rainy season, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister
of Local Administration Walid Masri on Saturday asked municipalities
and joint service councils across the Kingdom to raise their alert
levels.

The directive is to address anticipated severe conditions,
particularly in the eastern and southern regions, he said,
underscoring the need to closely monitor early warning system
reports.

Masri emphasized the importance of full coordination and cooperation
among municipal staff, administrative officials, the Civil Defense
Directorate, and relevant official bodies to ensure field readiness
and a rapid response to any emergency.

He called on municipalities and municipal affairs directorates to
raise public awareness and warn the public at short notice of the
potential for heavy downpours and flash floods, urging the need to
keep residents living near wadi channels and livestock owners alert
and immediately stay away from flood paths and low-lying areas.

The Minister stressed the need to take all measures to protect lives
and property.
