These measures include field-based preventive interventions such as cleaning and maintaining drainage and sewer networks, clearing watercourses and sensitive sections, and treating known black spots prone to water accumulation.

The same source added that these actions also involved mobilizing human resources and deploying the necessary logistical means, with all available capacities placed on maximum alert to ensure rapid intervention, provide assistance when needed, and protect the safety of citizens and their property.
