Amman, March 28 (Petra) – The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) on Saturday declared a mild state of emergency starting Sunday morning in response to approaching harsher weather conditions affecting the Kingdom.

GAM stated that its teams are fully prepared to respond to reports received through the Tla'a Al Ali Emergency Operations Room, urging Jordanians to report incidents via the unified call centre at 102 or 117180.

GAM urged exercising caution by avoiding valleys and low-lying areas and refraining from littering, which can block stormwater drainage systems.

It called for ensuring that submersible pumps in basements and ground-level shops are functioning properly and advised business owners to take precautionary measures when storing goods in warehouses and below street level.

GAM urged contractors and project owners to secure construction materials to prevent them from being washed away and obstructing drainage networks.
