The Civil Protection Unit (CPU) has urged communities in flood-prone areas to be on high alert as heavy rains coupled with hailstorms are expected throughout the country until 30 December 2023.
In a recent statement, the Meteorological Service Department (MSD) said heavy rains are expected in the northern parts of Manicaland, Mashonaland East, Mashonaland Central and Harare, before spreading across the country by Saturday.
The Met Department warned that low-lying areas such as Muzarabani and the Zambezi Valley among other areas were at a high risk of flooding.
According to the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/flood-prone-areas-on-high-alert-as-heavy-storms-forecast/">Chronicle</a>, in the Matabeleland region, Tsholotsho and Binga have pockets that are always susceptible to flooding, while in Bulawayo, areas that include parts of Nkulumane, Nketa and Cowdray Park suburbs often experience flooding during heavy storms.
The MSD said an anticipated cloud band that would bring along heavy rains landed in the country yesterday and the Matabeleland region received the heavier rains. It said:
<blockquote>
The much-anticipated cloud band has fallen into Zimbabwe and this morning the western half of the country recorded some significant falls. The highest measured amounts of rainfall were at; Bulawayo Goetz Observatory 31mm, Binga 21mm, Lupane 15mm, Victoria Falls 14mm, Kariba 13mm and Joshua Nkomo International Airport 10mm. Meanwhile, the cloud band is sweeping across the country from the West to the East.
The western parts of the country should be affected first then by 30 December the whole country should have been affected. Localised heavy downpours with rainfall above 50mm in 24 hours are anticipated in some places with strong winds, lightning and hailstorms.
All areas are expected to receive localised rainfall amounts of 50mm or more in 24 hours and flooding is probable in low-lying areas such as the Muzarabani, Save, and Zambezi valley.
</blockquote>
The MSD warned members of the public against crossing flooded rivers, saying people can be swept away by water above their ankles while a 30cm depth of flowing water can even sweep away large vehicles.
The MSD also urged the public to avoid being in fields, hilltops, tall trees, and bodies of water and remain indoors during thunderstorms to avoid being struck by lightning.
Meanwhile, the CPU, which deals with natural disasters in the country, said it has activated all its sub-national structures to deal with rain-related eventualities. CPU director Nathan Nkomo said:
<blockquote>
As per our tradition, we have activated all our sub-national structures and we have done our educational awareness campaigns. We usually say if you see your programme being adopted by traditional leaders then you would be satisfied.
So we have communicated with the traditional leaders’ structures on issues governing disasters.
We might not have given them adequate resources but it is very very critical information spreads in communities.
It is our motto that disaster prevention begins with information and we have spread the information.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe is poorly prepared for natural disasters such as floods due to the underfunding of the CPU and there is an acute shortage of equipment to rescue victims.

Flood-prone Areas On High Alert As Met Office Forecasts Heavy Downpours

More than 250 families were affected by flash floods that hit Beitbridge town recently, the Civil Protection Unit (CPU) has said.
The floods affected residents of the Dulibadzimu suburb following a torrential downpour last week.
Speaking to <a href="https://zbcnews.co.zw/2022/11/02/more-than-200-families-affected-by-early-flash-floods-in-beitbridge/">ZBC News</a>, one of Dulibadzimu residents said flash floods have become a perennial nightmare for them. He said:
<blockquote>
For us, the rainy season comes with nightmares. When it rains at night, we wake up in a pool of water right inside our bedrooms.
What is more worrying is that we experience this almost on an annual basis and we feel hard done by our council.
</blockquote>
Beitbridge CPU chairperson, Sikhangezile Mafu said the government is mobilising resources to continue assisting the families affected by the flash floods. She said:
<blockquote>
While we move in to assist affected families, it is necessary that the council employ a long-term solution because we cannot be witnessing such catastrophes each time it rains. We need to decisively deal with this.
</blockquote>
Beitbridge Mayor, Councillor Munyaradzi Chitsuke, said the long-term solution to the problem of flooding is to renew the suburb. Said Chutsuke:
<blockquote>
Dulibadzimu floods are giving us sleepless nights as the council. We are working on strategies for building our capacity to relocate those houses in the long run.
Strategic partnerships with developers to renew this old suburb might be the ultimate solution.
</blockquote>
Beitbridge Town Council is also mulling de-silting the Wamlala River which is now flowing into some parts of the Dulibadzimu suburb.

Flash Floods Affect 250 Families In Beitbridge

Several homes, a school, and roads were destroyed by a hailstorm in Nkayi District last week.
Government officials are struggling to assess the extent of the damage caused by heavy rains that began on Wednesday due to inaccessibility and lack of telephone coverage.
Matabeleland North Provincial Affairs minister Richard Moyo told VicFallsLive that the rains affected wards 1, 2, 13 and 14 in villages such as Tsheli, Sobunyonyo, Gampinya and Sovondo. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
The report is true as I have just spoken to Nkayi officials, but the challenge is that there is no (telephone) network (coverage) for us to contact our government representatives on the ground and the road is also inaccessible.
Once the place is reachable, we will give the status of families who lost their homes.
</blockquote>
The hailstorm reportedly caused the collapse of a classroom block at Jabulisa Secondary School.
The storm also killed livestock such as goats, sheep and poultry.
Moyo advised affected villagers to find safe places to live until they receive help from the Government. He said:
<blockquote>
For now, we would like to advise them to stay indoors until we find a way to access them.
We are still not sure about the extent of the damage, but soon we will be there to assist those families.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Civil Protection Unit acting director Nathan Nkomo said he was not aware of the destruction of infrastructure in Nkayi.

Hailstorm Leaves Trail Of Destruction In Nkayi

The Civil Protection Unit (CPU) is on high alert over possible flooding downstream of Tugwi-Mukosi Dam as the reservoir is now 90 per cent full and is expected to spill in the coming days.
If the dam spills, there are fears that the already flooded Tugwi River, downstream of the reservoir, will burst its banks and affect adjacent communities in Chivi and Chiredzi.
Masvingo Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Ezra Chadzamira revealed that the dam will likely spill in the next few days as incessant rains continue to fall in its catchment area. He said:
<blockquote>Tugwi-Mukosi water levels have been rising significantly over the past few weeks and the water level is now near 90 per cent meaning the dam will likely spill in the coming few days hence the need to prepare our people in downstream areas in the event of flooding.</blockquote>
Chadzamira said an Air Force of Zimbabwe helicopter has been put on standby to airlift people in the event the dam eventually spills.
CPU teams had been carrying out awareness campaigns to warn communities close to Tugwi and Runde River of the impending threat of flooding, Chadzamira added.
Tugwi-Mukosi is Zimbabwe’s largest inland dam and has the capacity to hold 1,8 billion cubic metres of water.

CPU On High Alert As Tugwi-Mukosi Dam Fills Up

Cyclone Chalane which made landfall in Madagascar, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe this past week has weakened and has finally dispersed with its remnants moving towards Botswana, The Herald reports.
The cyclone did not leave any major damage and no one was injured by the Cyclone which came less than 24 months after devastating Cyclone Idai. 9 Houses’ roofs were partially destroyed in the province.
The Civil Protection Unit CPU released a statement saying a bridge in Mtshabezi was washed away but apart from that the Cyclone did not cause major damage in Manicaland:
<blockquote>Electricity and mobile network coverage was temporarily disrupted across Manicaland province due to strong winds and efforts were underway to bring the services back to normal.
Regarding roads infrastructure, one side approach to Mtshabezi Bridge was reported to have been washed away. In Chimanimani District, a feeder road between Chikwizi and Muuyuweburi (Biriri) was also washed away</blockquote>
The Province reportedly did not even receive heavy rains yesterday according to Manicaland Provincial Development Coordinator Mr. Edgars Seenza who said:
<blockquote>Nyanga and Chimanimani districts had light rains today. In terms of damages by the tropical depression, we are still compiling. The only reports we have were of nine houses whose roofs were partially disturbed in Chimanimani and a few trees that fell in Skyline but have since been cleared.</blockquote>
