The National Safety Authority has raised its preparedness level across all branches nationwide following warnings of severe weather conditions. The National Meteorological Centre has forecast heavy rainfall in the Greater Tripoli region starting Thursday, with the potential for thunderstorms and flash flooding in several areas.
In a statement, the authority emphasized the need for urgent interventions to safeguard lives and property. Coordination with security forces, emergency services, and relief agencies has been intensified to ensure a comprehensive response to any emergencies that may arise.
Meteorologists have warned that the expected downpours could trigger flash floods in valleys, elevate water levels in low-lying areas, and potentially cause localized flooding in some regions. Strong coastal winds are also anticipated.
Meanwhile, the Tripoli Security Directorate has called on residents to exercise caution, avoid flood-prone areas, and drive carefully to prevent accidents caused by slippery roads or landslides.
Authorities reassured the public that they are on high alert and in constant communication with crisis management teams to mitigate the impact of the storms. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and adhere to safety advisories as conditions evolve.
