Tuz Khurmatu:Baghdad The National Center for Crisis and Disaster Management has opened an operations headquarters in Tuz Khurmatu to tackle the aftermath of recent flooding.

According to Iraqi News Agency, the establishment of the headquarters was directed by Interior Minister Yasser Al-Maliki. This move aims to ensure a swift response to the severe weather conditions and heavy rainfall that led to flooding, causing the ring road in the Tuz Khurmatu district to become impassable.

The center is coordinating field operations and has set up the headquarters within the district to manage emergency situations effectively. This initiative is part of efforts to oversee field operations and coordinate government responses in real-time.

Immediate directives have been given to the ministries of Construction, Housing and Municipalities, and Water Resources to mobilize resources and deploy engineering and technical teams. These teams are tasked with conducting emergency maintenance work to reopen the road as quickly as possible.
