The National Emergency Management Agency has issued a fresh flood alert, identifying 15 local government areas in Lagos State and 19 in Ogun State as moderate flood-risk zones for the current rainy season.
The agency urged residents in the affected areas to take immediate preventive actions to mitigate the impact of flooding, which has become a recurring challenge in parts of Nigeria during peak rainy seasons.
NEMA disclosed this in a notice posted on its official X handle on Tuesday.
“Is your LGA listed as a flood-risk zone? Take action early: clear drains, avoid floodwater, move from riverine areas and follow official alerts,” the agency said.
