The City of Cape Town’s Disaster Risk Management Centre has urged people to take the necessary precautions to safeguard their homes, following an advisory that was issued for adverse weather conditions expected in parts of the Western Cape.
The Weather Service has warned of a cold front that’s due to make landfall Sunday evening.
Centre spokesperson Charlotte Powell says, “We urge the public to act timeously to mitigate any potential impacts on their properties. Some general mitigation measures include clearing gutters, waterproof and raising structures to lower the increase of water, and to make changes around your home to divert water away. Please also report any issues immediately, like block drainage, potholes and instances of illegal dumping, as these make flooding conditions worse.”
