Flood alert as heavy rains continue in Zim 2011-12-30 14:15 Harare - Zimbabwe's weather department is issuing a flood alert and says heavy rains are expected to continue. The Meteorological Service says downpours of more than 3 inches are forecast in northern and eastern regions through to January 02, accompanied by gusty winds. In a statement on Friday, the government's civil protection agency also advised affected communities to find shelter on higher ground. It warned that roofs could be blown off and low-cost and mud-built houses risk collapse from water saturation. In years of economic decline, broken drainage and sewers have led to outbreaks of waterborne diseases worsened by rain. More than 4 000 people died from the waterborne illness cholera in 2008. - AP Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | ||
