Western Cape gears up for weekend of snow and gale-force winds
The SA Weather Service has issued a warning for Level 4 disruptive rainfall and Level 5 for damaging waves from this evening (Friday 28 July), into tomorrow, Saturday 29 July.
These conditions could lead to localized flooding, and possible damage to property and infrastructure.
City Departments will be on standby to respond to any weather-related impacts.
The City reminds the public of the following tips on flood preparedness, mitigation and prevention:
• Clearing out drainage systems
• Raising the floor level of a structure so that it is higher than the natural ground level
• Making sandbags
• Digging trenches around the house to divert water away
• Reporting blocked drains, intakes and illegal dumping – illegal dumping in the stormwater canals and sewers makes flooding worse.
• Fix leaking roofs.
Any weather-related emergencies can be directed to the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre by dialling 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or 107 from a landline. Credit: City of Cape Town
