The organisation also called on the public to report stranded persons or emergencies through its emergency lines, 0302964884, 0291913077, or the national emergency number 112.

"Stay safe. Stay informed. Avoid unnecessary travel until the situation improves," NADMO added.

The alert follows prolonged rainfall that began late on Sunday, 28th June, and continued into Monday morning, leaving several parts of Accra waterlogged and disrupting the morning commute.

Major roads were submerged, forcing motorists to navigate through floodwaters while others turned back after sections of roads became impassable. The flooding also caused severe traffic congestion across parts of the capital, delaying thousands of commuters travelling to work and school.

Some homes and businesses in low-lying communities were also affected after floodwaters entered buildings, prompting residents and shop owners to move their belongings to safer locations.
