The Public Works and Housing Ministry, on Friday, warned the public on highways of low-visibility due to heavy rainfall, namely, in the central, northern and the Dead Sea areas.

The ministry confirmed its readiness to deal with the expected weather conditions around the clock through its 98 teams distributed across the Kingdom’s governorates.

The ministry issued a circular to its directorates and offices in various parts of the Kingdom that instructed entities to conduct periodic inspection tours to all regions and raise the state of emergency, according to the assessment of directors.

It also called on the public to take precautions, to stay away from flood-prone areas, and drive slowly, especially in the Badia areas due to the possibility of dust formation, and to not hesitate to report any emergency through contacting the main operations room at the ministry and the rest of the governorates.
