As interim measures to minimize flood losses before the long-term improvement works are completed, local flood warning systems have been installed at flood prone villages and areas to inform the villagers and locals when the flood water reaches a predetermined alert level. The warnings are disseminated through flood sirens or through automatic telephone calls to the village representatives. This system aims at alerting villagers before flooding occurs, so that they can have enough time to leave or take precautionary measures.
