The Red Crescent Society has been placed on alert in 8 provinces of the country due to meteorological warnings about the potential for flooding, overflow of seasonal rivers, and waterlogging of roads. This organization has begun necessary actions to combat natural disasters based on forecasts made by relevant authorities.

Forecast of heavy rainfall and river overflow

According to the provided information, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds are predicted today in parts of Mazandaran, Golestan, the central and eastern Alborz heights, Semnan, and North Khorasan, as well as in the coming days in the regions of West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan, and Ardabil along with the Alborz heights. These weather conditions may lead to waterlogging of roads and slippery transportation routes.

Safety recommendations for citizens

The Red Crescent Society has urged citizens to avoid traveling and stopping along riverbanks and streambeds, to refrain from being in elevated areas, and to avoid unnecessary travel to areas affected by the rain system. Additionally, considering the state of the Caspian Sea, which will be rough in the next three days, it is advised to refrain from marine activities and being in high-risk coastal areas. These recommendations are made to ensure safety and reduce risks associated with flooding and river overflow.

In case of any incident, citizens can call 112 to benefit from the rescue services of the Red Crescent Society. This organization is prepared to provide services to victims by employing specialized personnel and necessary equipment.
