Consequently, the Agency has placed its emergency response team on high alert.

The director-general of FEMA, Dr Abbas Idriss, made this known in a statement signed by the Agency’s Head of Public Affairs, Ms Nkechi Isa, in Abuja on Saturday.

Idriss said that a weather forecast by the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMET) had indicated that FCT and its neighbouring States would experience heavy to moderate rainfall on Sunday.

According to the FEMA director-general, NiMET also warned of possible flash floods, riverine flooding, strong winds, and soil erosion as well as thunder and lightning due to the anticipated heavy downpour.

“The forecast also anticipates displacement of people due to floods, outbreak of water-borne diseases and damages to infrastructure,” he said.

He said that to ensure a quick and effective emergency response, the Agency had placed its search and rescue team on high alert, and that he had equally directed an update of the Agency’s flood contingency plans to ensure maximum results.

Idriss appealed to residents to heed to the early warning and avoid driving or wading into a pool of water during the rains, advising that all blocked drains should be cleared, and people who reside on water channels to relocate.

“I advise residents to always dial the 112 emergency toll-free number in the event of an emergency, to enable us to respond on time,” Ms Isa qouted the FEMA DG as saying.
