Accra — Residents of Accra have been advised to consider working from home as heavy rains continue to worsen flooding in parts of the capital and surrounding areas.
The call was made by the Interior Minister as authorities step up efforts to protect lives and reduce the risks associated with movement during the ongoing flooding situation.
The minister urged residents, particularly those in affected and flood-prone communities, to prioritize safety and avoid unnecessary travel where possible as emergency teams respond to the situation.
The advisory comes amid growing concerns over flooded roads, traffic disruptions, rising water levels, and potential dangers posed to commuters across parts of the Greater Accra Region.
Emergency agencies have been mobilized to support affected communities, assist residents, and monitor areas facing severe flooding challenges.
Authorities have also appealed to the public to cooperate with safety directives, avoid walking or driving through floodwaters, and remain alert as weather conditions continue to be assessed.
The latest development has renewed calls for improved drainage systems, stronger flood management measures, and long-term solutions to address Accra’s recurring flooding challenges.
With rains continuing, officials say public caution and cooperation remain critical in preventing loss of lives and further damage.
