The announcement highlighted the serious threat posed by the heavy rain, stating, “There is a risk of disastrous heavy rain in our province and district tonight and tomorrow. We must exercise caution and be aware of potential dangers such as floods and landslides that may arise due to the heavy rainfall. It is crucial to avoid stream beds and take necessary precautions. May Allah protect us from all kinds of disasters.”
Furthermore, the AFAD Rize Provincial Directorate also issued warnings to citizens through SMS alerts. The message from AFAD emphasized the continuation of heavy rainfall until tomorrow night and urged people to keep away from stream beds to prevent potential dangers such as floods and landslides.
The situation in these regions is being closely monitored, and authorities are working to ensure the safety and well-being of residents. It is vital for citizens to stay informed about weather updates and follow the instructions and advice provided by local authorities.
As the heavy rains persist, it is important for individuals to take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their property. This includes avoiding areas prone to flooding, securing belongings, and staying vigilant in order to respond promptly to any emergency situations that may arise.
We hope that the rainfall subsides soon and that the residents of Rize, Trabzon, Artvin, and Giresun remain safe and resilient in the face of these challenging weather conditions.
