The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has advised persons in flood-prone areas to vacate their homes and move to higher grounds until the rainy session is over.
This, according to the agency is because the country will experience a few more days of rain before the end of the season.
“It (the rain) has made a lot of places saturated already, so any rain that comes again will be very devastating. So people who know that they are living in flood-prone areas should try and move out, and after the rainy season they can come back because any little rain that will come will be devastating especially for those in low-lying areas,” the Head of Forecasting at the agency, Mr. Tettey Portuphy advised on Accra based radio station, Citi FM.
