TORRENTIAL rains are expected across the country from Friday to Sunday and the Department of Civil Protection has urged citizens to be on high alert.
In a statement today, the Department of Civil Protection said District Civil Protection Committees countrywide have been mobilised.
“We call on on all relevant stakeholders and traditional leaders to find ways to disseminate the information to their various communities, in particular all Mashonaland districts, Manicaland, parts of Midlands and Masvingo provinces where heavy rains in excess of 65mm are expected in 24 hours,” reads the statement.
The Department of Civil Protection urged citizens to take heed of the Meteorological Services Department alerts as they continue monitoring the unfolding situation.
Adds the statement: “Citizens should be on the watch for possible flooding, avoid crossing flooded rivers or streams and stay indoors during the period as the heavy rains may reduce visibility for motorists.”
