The local administration is urging residents to cooperate with the evacuation orders and stay updated on weather forecasts and advisories.

The authorities are also focusing on raising awareness among the residents about the potential dangers of staying near swollen rivers. Public announcements and community meetings are being held to inform people about safety measures and the importance of prompt evacuation. Volunteers and local organizations are joining hands with the police to assist in the relief operations and ensure that everyone is accounted for.

The situation is being closely monitored, and all necessary resources are being deployed to handle any emergencies that may arise due to the heavy rainfall and rising water levels. Authorities are also planning for potential future scenarios, preparing for additional rainfall and the impact it may have on the region. Long-term measures are being discussed to enhance the region's resilience to such weather events, including infrastructure improvements and better early warning systems.
