PSD Warns Public of Flash Flood Risks Amid Adverse Weather Conditions

Amman:The Public Security Directorate (PSD) has issued a safety warning urging the public to take precautions against potential flash floods, slippery roads, and reduced visibility as the region anticipates unsettled weather conditions.

According to Jordan News Agency, a PSD spokesperson advised residents to avoid valleys, flood channels, and low-lying areas, which are at risk of sudden flooding due to rainfall. Motorists are encouraged to drive cautiously on wet roads by reducing speed and maintaining a safe distance between vehicles to prevent skidding and traffic accidents.

The spokesperson also highlighted concerns about reduced visibility caused by fog, especially during early morning hours in mountainous regions, the Badia, and plains. Additionally, drivers in desert areas should remain vigilant for dust-related visibility issues.

The PSD emphasized the importance of safely using heating appliances and ensuring adequate ventilation. The spokesperson assured that PSD personnel are ready to respond to weather-related incidents and emergencies, urging the public to adhere to official safety instructions and to contact the unified emergency number, 911, for assistance when needed.
