THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The district administration has alerted the public inhabiting low-lying places, hilly areas prone to landslides and places that received heavy rainfall to maintain utmost caution.
District Collector Geromic George said the people residing in areas that were affected by landslips and floods in the previous years and those inhabiting locations that have been deemed as disaster-prone by the Geological Survey of India and the State Disaster Management Authority should take adequate measures.
The local bodies and the government machinery should also make arrangements to face a contingency, he said. “In the wake of Covid-19, preparations to set up relief camps should be in line with the instructions given by the State Disaster Management Authority through the Orange Book 2021,” the collector said.
