An automatic message has been broadcast to all mobile phones in the affected area. Authorities are urging the public to strictly follow safety instructions to minimize risks.
“"1/ Postpone non-essential travel. 2/ Do not go into basements, underpasses, or underground parking lots. 3/ Do not enter flooded roads. 4/ Stay away from watercourses."
It is also advised to stay informed through traditional media (radio, television) and official online platforms. Vigilance is required until the alert is officially lifted by the relevant services.
