“We would like to reassure everyone that all competent authorities are on high alert to deal with the upcoming tropical situation, and take all proactive and preventive measures to mitigate its impact on the country,” he added.
“Since Tuesday September 28th, all competent authorities have been carrying out monitoring and follow-up operations. NCEMA invited all parties concerned to a meeting to discuss all potential scenarios and their impact on the country,” he noted.
The National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Team met first on Thursday, September 30, 2021, in order to boost preparedness at the country level and take all proactive measures to ensure public safety, he explained.
“The National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Team convened their second meeting today to follow up on the readiness of all parties concerned and assess the tropical situation, in coordination with the emergency, crisis and disaster management teams nationwide.”
As a proactive measure to ensure the safety of all community members, he continued, precautionary arrangements will be announced to be adopted during the movement of Tropical Cyclone Shaheen in the affected areas, most prominent of which are barring visits to beaches and the sea and avoiding river valleys and low-lying areas.
