The City of Cape Town’s Disaster Risk Management says they are on standby to deal with any weather-related impacts ahead of a well-developed cold front arriving this weekend.
The South African Weather Service has issued a Yellow Level 4 warning for disruptive rain when the frontal system reaches the province on Sunday.
“This includes clearing gutters and any other blockages on their property. Checking roofs for any leaks or loose sheets. Securing any loose items and materials like garden furniture etc. that could be vulnerable to wind gusts. Digging trenches to lead water away from their homes if in informal settlements. Raising the floor of their dwelling to above ground level to minimise the risk of flooding,” says Disaster Risk Management spokesperson, Sonica Lategan.
