Amman, Oct. 5 (Petra) - The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) declared a low-level state of emergency on Monday, which will upgrade to a medium-level status on Tuesday morning with an expected wet weather across the capital.

GAM confirmed that emergency crews stood ready to respond to public reports received at the Tla' Al-Ali control center. Officials urged residents to call the unified call center numbers (102 or 117180) to report weather-related issues.

City officials advised caution and to avoid low-lying areas and flood-prone valleys.

To prevent road flooding, GAM urged property owners not to connect rooftop drainage pipes to municipal sewer lines, and reminded the public to dispose of litter properly to keep storm drains clear.

The municipality also instructed merchants and property owners to inspect submersible pumps below street level, secure basement inventory, and safeguard construction site materials to prevent runoff from clogging drainage lines.
