NDMA Warns of Heavy Rainfall and Urban Flooding in Next 48 Hours

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has warned of heavy and intense rainfall across Pakistan in the coming 24 to 48 hours, raising concerns about possible urban flooding.

The advisory has urged all relevant departments to stay alert and implement necessary precautions. Furthermore, it warns of the significant risk of flooding in major cities such as Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Gujranwala, Lahore, Sheikhupura, Kasur, and Sialkot.

Furthermore, low-lying areas in Sargodha, Faisalabad, Nowshera, and Peshawar are also at risk of flooding. The NDMA has warned that urban flooding could harm infrastructure and disrupt daily life, particularly affecting communities near drainage channels, which are at high risk of flash floods and severe impacts.

In response to the risk of urban flooding, the NDMA has introduced the “Pak NDMA Disaster Alert” app, available on Google Play Store and iOS App Store. To stay safe, the public is encouraged to use this app for timely weather updates and alerts.
