Amman: The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) spokesperson Nasser Rahamneh announced that municipal field teams have managed 139 emergency reports following complaints received by the main emergency operations room in Tela Al-Ali due to the low-pressure system currently impacting the Kingdom.
According to Jordan News Agency, most of the reports received by the emergency room originated from the areas of Al-Muqabalain, Wadi As-Seer, and Marj Al-Hamam. A total of 52 reports were related to the accumulation and rising levels of rainwater in the streets. This was caused by intense rainfall, rapid water flow, and soil erosion, which delayed the water from reaching drainage systems. These incidents were addressed by municipal crews and machinery deployed across the field.
The municipality also attended to 16 reports concerning water and sewage lines, alongside five reports regarding the formation of potholes and road subsidence, two reports of traffic light malfunctions, and five reports of general power outages. Additionally, eight reports involved structural collapses that are currently being handled, as they require more time to be resolved.
Municipal crews further addressed three reports of blocked stormwater drains, one report of soil erosion, 41 reports of uprooted trees and broken branches or trees at risk of falling, and six reports regarding debris requiring removal. Rahamneh emphasized that the municipality continues to respond to reports as they arrive at the main emergency operations room in Tela Al-Ali through the unified call center at number 102.
