The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has shared important guidelines to help residents prepare their homes and facilities for the rainy season in Qatar. The advisory highlights simple preventive measures that can help reduce the risk of water damage, flooding and other problems during rainfall. Ashghal encourages residents and facility managers to take the necessary precautions in advance and ensure their properties are ready for rainy weather.

Important Guidelines to Follow Before Rainfall

Check glass ceilings and windows: Ensure that the seals around glass ceilings and windows are secure to help prevent rainwater from entering the building.

Clear drains of debris: Remove leaves, dirt and other debris from drains near the property to help water flow freely and reduce the risk of flooding.

Inspect roof insulation: Check the roof insulation to identify any issues that could allow rainwater to seep into the building.

Check gutters for leaks or blockages: Inspect gutters to ensure they are clear and functioning properly, with no leaks or obstructions that could affect rainwater drainage.

Ashghal reminds residents that taking these preventive steps before rainfall can help protect properties and minimise potential damage. Preparing homes and facilities in advance is an important part of staying safe during the rainy season.
