ISLAMABAD: The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a warning about the possibility of heavy and intense rainfall across the country in the next 24 to 48 hours, heightening concerns about potential urban flooding in major cities.
The NDMA has advised all relevant departments to stay alert and take necessary precautions. The advisory highlights a significant risk of urban flooding in Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Gujranwala, Lahore, Sheikhupura, Kasur, and Sialkot.
Additionally, low-lying areas in Sargodha, Faisalabad, Nowshera, and Peshawar are also at risk of flooding.
The NDMA has warned that urban flooding could damage infrastructure and disrupt daily life, with communities near drainage channels being especially vulnerable to flash floods and severe impacts.
In response to these threats, the NDMA has launched the “Pak NDMA Disaster Alert” application, available on both Google Play Store and iOS App Store. The public is encouraged to use this app to stay updated on weather conditions and alerts to ensure their safety.
