AS the rainy season gets to its peak, the Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency (KADSEMA) has warned people living in flood prone areas to vacate to safer areas to avoid imminent flooding.

In a statement by its Executive Secretary, Usman Mazadu, said seven local government areas are at risk of flooding especially communities along waterways in anticipation of heavy downpour.

The agency explained that it has become necessary to notify the flood prone communities about the torrential rainfall experienced between Sunday, August 18 and Monday, August 19, and still going on without abating.

He, however, noted that the heavy rainfall might result in the overflow of rivers, particularly in the local government areas with rivers or tributaries crossing through.
