Islamabad: National Emergencies Operation Center of NDMA has issued impact-based weather alerts due to the likelihood of moderate to heavy monsoon rainfall across different regions of Pakistan till Thursday.

According to Radio Pakistan, this weather system is expected to increase river flows in the Kabul, Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab. Currently, Tarbela, Kalabagh, Chashma, and Taunsa barrages are experiencing low flood levels, with further increases in inflows and outflows anticipated in the coming days. River Chenab at Marala and Khanki, and River Kabul at Nowshera are likely to reach low flood levels. Additionally, River Swat and Panjkora, along with their associated streams and nullahs, may swell due to rainfall in their upper catchments. At present, Tarbela reservoir is at 73 percent and Mangla at 43 percent of their respective storage capacities.

Residents near rivers, nullahs, and flood-prone streams are advised to remain alert for sudden water surges, especially at night or during heavy rain. Vulnerable communities should identify safe evacuation routes and secure valuables, vehicles, and livestock at higher ground. Emergency kits, food, water, and essential medicines should be stocked for 3 to 5 days.

Local administration, particularly in northeastern and central Punjab, must ensure dewatering equipment is ready to tackle urban flooding. The public is also advised to avoid crossing causeways, low bridges, and flooded roads and to stay updated through official TV, radio, mobile alerts, and the Pak NDMA Disaster Alert App.

Separately, NEOC has issued a landslide alert for northern mountainous regions, including Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir due to isolated heavy rainfalls. Authorities and residents in high-risk zones are advised to be cautious of slope failures, landslides, and ground subsidence. Travel to vulnerable regions should be avoided unless essential. Relevant departments are directed to ensure the availability of emergency personnel and machinery in the indicated areas and remain on standby for a swift response.

NDMA continues to coordinate with provincial disaster management authorities to ensure proactive response measures and to safeguard communities across the country.
