The mayor announced on Tuesday that the city will deploy immediate flood relief measures in the Riverside district, following heavy rains that caused widespread waterlogging and property damage earlier that morning. City officials said emergency crews began work at 08:30 and relief efforts aim to restore drainage and provide temporary shelter for affected residents.

Officials reported that multiple streets in Riverside remained underwater after the downpour, prompting rapid response from municipal teams. Pumps and sandbags were dispatched to critical points while teams assessed structural damage to homes and public infrastructure.

The municipal emergency office stated that a coordination center has been set up to manage relief distribution and to direct residents to support services. Volunteers and civil defense units are assisting with door-to-door checks and evacuations where necessary.

City engineers are conducting inspections on drainage systems to identify blockages and damaged culverts. Short-term repairs will prioritize main thoroughfares and hospital access routes to ensure essential services remain operational.

Authorities confirmed that temporary shelters have been opened at two community centers to accommodate displaced families. Basic necessities including food, water and emergency medical care are being provided at these locations.

The mayor emphasized that cleanup and recovery work will continue through the week and urged residents to follow official instructions. Motorists were advised to avoid flooded streets and to use alternative routes until roads are cleared and declared safe.
