The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a warning about heavy and intense rainfall expected across Pakistan in the next 24 to 48 hours, raising concerns about potential urban flooding in several regions.

The advisory calls on all relevant departments to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to mitigate the impact of the anticipated weather conditions.

The NDMA has highlighted a significant risk of flooding in major cities, including 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 cautions that urban flooding could damage infrastructure and disrupt daily life, particularly in communities near drainage channels, which are highly susceptible to flash floods and severe impacts.

In response to the threat of urban flooding, the NDMA has launched the “Pak NDMA Disaster Alert” app, available on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.

The public is encouraged to download and use this app to receive timely weather updates and alerts, helping them stay informed and safe during the adverse weather conditions.
