Filipe Nyusi, yesterday urged the population to observe precautionary measures and remain in safe places.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge everyone to observe the precautionary measures issued by institutions such as the INGD (National Institute for Disaster Risk Management and Reduction), which will be communicated through our media,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n

Nyusi particularly urged against unnecessary dramatisation of the subject and the propagation of rumours on social networks, which could cause panic.<\/p>\n

The president urged citizens not to shelter under the trees, and to protect their windows, reinforce ceilings, roofs and doors, and remove all loose material from the interior, especially covering sheets.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtect the windows, doors and roofs of the houses, as we saw in Beira when they were preparing to face Tropical Storm Ana. It is also important to have emergency kits that include drinking water, and to protect documents very well. Please refrain from sending children to schools from today {Thursday], especially in Nampula, Zamb\u00e9zia and Sofala provinces, until the situation normalises,\u201d President Nyusi added.<\/p>\n

The Head of State stressed the need for the protection of the elderly and children, assuring that the INGD is already on the ground to follow up to avoid, at most, the loss of human lives.<\/p>\n

He stressed the need to protect the elderly and children, promising that the INGD was in place to follow up and avoid the loss of human lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease avoid using your cell phones when the phenomenon arrives, as your cell phone may be the cause of an electrical discharge that cause death, and keep the power sources off,\u201d the President urged.<\/p>\n

He warned that Tropical Cyclone Gombe, with winds between 180 and 200 kilometres per hour and gusts of up to 240 kilometres per hour, could be as strong as Cyclone Idai, which hit the centre of the country in March, 2019.<\/p>\n

Nyusi was speaking in the city of Dondo, Sofala, at the opening of the new University of L\u00fario (UniL\u00fario) campus.<\/p>\n

The President said that the weather forecasts indicate that the cyclone, after entering Mozambique through Nampula, would mainly affect the province of Nampula and neighbouring Zamb\u00e9zia province. Strong winds and rain are forecast, with more than 200 millimetres of precipitation in 24 hours for three consecutive days, that is, until Monday, March 14th.<\/p>\n

After entering the mainland, the system may swing round and leave the Mozambique Channel again on Sunday, moving southwards.<\/p>\n

Citing the disaster management technical group, Nyusi estimated that the cyclone would present a moderate and high risk of impact on more than 580,000 people in Nampula and Zamb\u00e9zia provinces.<\/p>\n

He recalled that, in addition to the effects of Idai in Sofala and Manica, central Mozambique, Nampula and Zamb\u00e9zia provinces are still suffering from the storm Ana. Cyclone Gombe could affect around 750 health units, 15 sections of roads and 107 bridges.<\/p>\n

The Head of State said that government technicians and leaders had already travelled to the areas likely to be affected to monitor the situation, and that the scenario was expected to return to normal from Monday or Tuesday.<\/p>\n
