During a series of on the ground engagements on Saturday, President Irfaan Ali sought to reassure flood-affect residents in several communities that government is working with all stakeholders, including the Civil Defence Commission (CDC), to ensure that their needs are provided for.

Towards this end, Ali yesterday said shelters would be set up at various government buildings to ensure that flood-affected residents have places to stay safe and secure until the floodwaters recede, the Office of the President (OP) said in a statement.
