The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) is preparing for the upcoming rainy season, taking up measures to ensure timely response and mitigate the impact of rainfall. “Ashghal has held several successful training to evaluate the fast response team's abilities in mitigating the impacts of heavy rainfall on urban infrastructure, public safety and traffic flow,” Ashghal said in an X post. Ashghal said that prompt mobilisation, effective co-ordination and field knowledge are crucial for minimising risks and averting disruptions during rain incidents. Ashghal, according to the post, has carried out critical operations successfully to prepare for the rainy season, including setting up rubber ramps, deploying hoses to drain water and operating diesel pumps. The authority explained that the fast response team remains on high alert, ready to act at a moment's notice. Their responsibilities include monitoring flood-prone areas and offering immediate assistance to affected communities. They offer vital support to the impacted main roads and has a contemporary fleet that is fully stocked with all the equipment required. Ahead of the rainy season, Ashghal developed a mechanism to overcome rainwater-related issues and intensified training for its staff members to help them improve the complaint redress time and ensure fast response in dealing with water accumulation. Ashghal uses the latest technologies to monitor the drainage networks and roads to ensure they are free from waterlogging. As part of its role to raise awareness and continuously communicate with the public, Ashghal launches awareness campaigns on precautionary measures that are to be taken before and during rain.
