Islamabad: NDMA's National Emergencies Operation Center has forecast rain in different parts of the country for the next 3 days.
The NEOC has warned that if rainfall exceeds 50-100 mm, it may lead to urban, flash flooding in local nullahs and river tributaries.
The areas likely to be affected include Gujranwala, Lahore, Sialkot and Rawalpindi while Galiyat, Kashmir, Kohistan, Mansehra, and Murree are prone to land sliding 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 populations at risk.
The public has been advised to take preparatory measures including maintaining household drainage systems to prevent waterlogging and taking 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.
