These comprehensive measures involve activating operational preventive mechanisms, intensifying joint sectoral work, and continuously updating plans for clearing &quot;black spots&quot; within rainwater drainage networks and illegal dumping sites. Authorities are also increasing efforts in preparing and cleaning valleys across the capital&#39;s municipalities to enhance local resilience against potential flooding.<\/p>\n<p>Local authorities in Algiers have commenced a thorough inventory of the material and logistical resources required to implement intervention operations, establishing a vigilance system to ensure immediate and effective responses during emergencies. As part of these ongoing field preparations, workshops have been set up to clean and rectify rainwater channels and valleys in various locations. Specific interventions include the cleaning of concrete and earthen ditches, rainwater drainage grates in underpasses and tunnels, along with watercourses, and the entrances and exits of technical structures along roadways. These operations are actively continuing across numerous municipalities.<\/p>\n<p>Instructions from Algiers Wilaya services emphasized the necessity of coordinated field visits by relevant sectors to inspect critical &quot;black spots&quot; and to conduct regular preventive cleaning. This includes intensifying campaigns to clear valleys, channels, and grates on roads, streets, residential areas, and public squares. A wide-ranging cleanliness campaign specifically targeted major &quot;black spots&quot; along valley edges within Algiers municipalities, as well as cleaning drainage grates and watercourses, and removing accumulated waste and construction debris. All necessary material and human resources from both public and private sectors have been mobilized for these efforts, which are set to continue across all municipalities.<\/p>\n<p>The proactive program, overseen by Wilaya Governor Mohamed Abdelnour Rabhi, aims to guarantee the readiness of various rainwater drainage networks and associated infrastructure, ensuring responsiveness to any potential weather fluctuations. Delegated governors have received strict directives to supervise this program, which includes cleaning valleys, grates, and clearing underground tunnels and rainwater channels across all administrative districts. These continuous, periodic cleaning operations are conducted to ensure smooth water flow and maintain readiness for both the autumn and winter seasons. Residents of Algiers municipalities have expressed appreciation for these initiatives, recognizing their their positive impact in preventing floods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Algiers Wilaya services have initiated proactive preparations to mitigate autumn flood risks, activating operational mechanisms and undertaking extensive cleaning campaigns across various municipalities.
