(Live here) - Floods don't just happen like that. They are caused as a result of drainage systems that are not adapted to the water flow in heavy rainstorms and also due to blockages in the drains, mainly as a result of dirt clogging the drains. Today, a woman's apartment on Anilevich Street was flooded. The firefighters report that the neighbors opened blocked drains further down the street and thus lowered the water level.
From Fire and Rescue it was delivered to Lai Pa:
Around 17:30, on Monday, 29/1/24, the firefighters from the Haifa station worked to rescue a woman from her flooded apartment on Anilevich Street in the city.
Team commander Major Rod Fox says:
"When we arrived at the apartment the water level was relatively low but within a few seconds the apartment filled with water and a real danger was created, we opened a window and using a ladder rescued the woman while she was in good condition.
After the rescue, the neighbors were ordered to open the drains further down the street, which caused the water level to drop and the risk of flooding. Fortunately for us, a dangerous event ended without casualties."
Currently, the amount of rainfall has decreased and with it the amount of flooding events.
The clogged drains:
Drains are pipes that lead rainwater under the city streets - to the sea. The water flows from the roads and streets, through blinds scattered all over the city. When a shutter becomes clogged, usually due to dirt, the water level rises and there is flooding.
In recent years, as a result of global warming, rainstorms are becoming more and more aggressive. The drainage system, even when it is free of garbage, may overflow, due to a mismatch between the size of the drains and the large hourly flow of rainwater. As such, the municipal drainage system is more susceptible to poor maintenance and dirt. A dirty city is a city that is more susceptible to flooding.
The flooding on Tel Aviv Street, the corner of Rothschild, as well as on Jaffa Street, the corner of Rothschild - were unbearable!!!
People couldn't cross the road. These are also the residents of the street, also the students of Urban School A, and also the office workers in the vicinity.
The Haifa municipality has professionals, there is a maintenance department, an engineering department, there are budgets, there is property tax, there is a mayor - so why are these systems not functioning???
It's time for the mayor to address the problem of flooding in the lower city.
There are engineering solutions to these things. It is only necessary that the mayor study the issue seriously, and make sure that things are carried out.
The situation at the moment shows the municipality's disdain for the city's residents.
Haifa Since time immemorial, Haifa has been a city flooded in winter. Haifa is built from two levels, the lower city
And he knew the bottom which is Huadi and the carmel. All the Carmel water flows quickly because in Wadi it is a slope and obviously all the rain water will flow to it. I was born in Haifa and we lived near Huadi. The Zionist frameworks of the school where I studied blood all the water flowed all over the sidewalks and from there flooded my hoadi and the ponds were filled with rainwater. You have to think about how to prepare for the rainwater coming from the Carmel. Because all the sufferers are the streets of Caesarea and Maa, also according to Gius and Madron. So don't just blame Rudy for picking up something genius, you have to figure out how to make the water flow into one place for notes that can be used. For agriculture. We learned every drop of water is very precious in difficult days
Surprise in winter there is sometimes rain what to do
A successful method of the municipality will be good there is no rain and no maintenance is needed
Haifa is built on a mountain, the higher neighborhoods do not feel what the lower neighborhoods get, no matter what the problem is or what time it is, there is no joint cleaning or maintenance of the sewer drains if they are clogged, only after I get confused or cry on the phone, you really need to pay attention to this as soon as possible to avoid Comments are blacked out after that, trash removal is one thing, cleaning sidewalks if there is a stream of water is another, but clogging a sewer is out of the ordinary, you will learn and understand, the time has come, we are in 1 already!!!!
When there is no maintenance
When there is no cleanliness
When there are no work plans
When there is no caring
About a quarter of the employees of the Haifa Municipality do not live in the city at all and therefore do not care what happens here
We accept the entire conduct of this municipality - one big failure.
Haifa municipality has known the problem since time immemorial. The rain came on time. So why didn't they clean the filters?
Maybe someone can update and indicate how Haifa was prepared for the winter? According to the seasons: spring, summer, autumn and now according to the state of the clouds - winter...
Rule 1 for prevention ongoing care of the municipality
Poor maintenance throughout the city causes damage and real danger to life
