NDMA’s National Emergencies Operation Center (NEOC) has forecast rain in different parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the next twenty-four hours.

The NEOC has warned that if rainfall exceeds 50-100 mm, it may lead to urban/flash flooding in local nullahs and river tributaries.

Charsadda, Chitral, Dir Lower, Dir Upper, Mansehra, Peshawar, Shangla, and Swat are likely to be affected by landsliding and flash flooding.

NDMA has advised Provincial Disaster Management Authorities and local administrations to closely monitor the situation and take appropriate measures to safeguard the population at-risk.

The public has been advised to take preparatory measures including maintaining household drainage systems to prevent waterlogging and take caution while travelling to landslide prone areas.

People have also been advised to follow instructions from local authorities and download NDMA’s ‘Pak NDMA Disaster Alert’ mobile app for timely alerts and precautions.
