RIYADH: The Municipality of Jeddah governorate began issuing evacuation notices on Sunday for 129 buildings deemed at risk of collapse in the southern Ghulail neighborhood.
The news comes as part of the municipality’s ongoing efforts to enhance public safety and protect lives and property from the dangers posed by deteriorating structures, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The municipality’s emergency and crisis management team has begun on-site notifications for the buildings included in the risk measure, in preparation for completing the approved legal procedures with the relevant authorities.
This action comes under the municipality’s program to address unsafe buildings at risk of collapse across the governorate.
Previous phases of the program have already been implemented in several neighborhoods, including Al-Faisaliyah, Al-Rabwah, Al-Farouq and Al-Ruwais, through field inspections and the completion of legal procedures for cases requiring intervention.
