The tour checked the culverts and the roads serving them for obstructions and encroachments that could block the water or push it onto a new course, city chief Nour El-Huda Mohamed Anwar said.

Ras Ghareb has inspected its flood channels and begun counting the structures that stand inside them, as Red Sea Governorate cities prepare for the rain and flood season.
The field tour was led by city chief Nour El-Huda Mohamed Anwar with staff from the city's crisis and operations department. It covered the flood channels, the culverts and the main roads serving them, checking whether obstructions or encroachments could block the water or divert it, and reviewed the equipment held at relief centres.
Anwar said anything flagged during the tour should be acted on immediately and that the periodic checks will continue. The work follows an instruction from Governor Walid El-Barqi to raise the readiness level in the governorate's cities and to review protection and drainage structures before any water flows arrive.
