Amman: The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) on Monday announced a state of emergency to address the anticipated extreme weather conditions in the Kingdom.
According to Jordan News Agency, field teams are fully prepared to respond to reports through the Tla'a Al-Ali Emergency Room. Jordanians are encouraged to report any issues via the unified call center at 102 or 117180. The statement urges caution among residents, advising them to avoid valleys and low-lying areas and to refrain from littering, which can obstruct stormwater drainage systems.
Additionally, GAM advises individuals to check submersible pumps in basements and shops below street level. Business owners are recommended to take precautionary measures when storing goods in warehouses and basements. Contractors and construction project owners are advised to secure building materials to prevent them from being swept away and blocking drainage channels.
