Interior Ministry deploys emergency teams amidst Accra flooding
The Ministry of the Interior deployed emergency response teams, including security agencies and disaster management units, to areas affected by heavy rains that triggered widespread flooding across parts of the country on Monday morning. In a public advisory, the Ministry urged citizens to exercise extreme caution and avoid unnecessary movement as floodwaters continue to submerge roads, bridges, and low-lying communities. It advised residents to remain in safe locations until conditions improve, stating: "Residents at home have been advised to stay indoors, while those at workplaces or other secure areas are encouraged to remain there until it is safe to travel."
Motorists and pedestrians have been strongly warned against attempting to cross flooded roads or waterways. The Ghana Police Service, the Ghana National Fire Service, the Ghana Armed Forces, the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), and other emergency response services have been deployed to monitor the situation, assist affected persons, manage traffic, and undertake rescue operations where required. Residents in flood-prone areas have been advised to move to higher ground where possible and to immediately report emergencies or persons in distress to the nearest security or emergency agency. Emergency contact numbers provided include Ghana Police Service (18555 or 112), Ghana National Fire Service (192), and NADMO (112). Authorities continue to monitor the situation as the heavy rains persist in several regions.
