Residents in Narok County are on high alert due to the possibility of floods brought on by the continuous, intense rains in the upper regions of Narok North.
On Sunday, the Narok County Department of Disaster Management advised locals to be cautious and to stay informed about government pronouncements and local weather forecasts.
It has been suggested to residents in low-lying or flood-prone areas to think about temporarily relocating to higher ground to avoid potential hazards.
Residents have also been especially advised to proceed with extreme caution when crossing the bridges across the Kumikumi and Narok Rivers and using the bridges along the flood control tunnels.
