Karachi, Pakistan.
BREDO is committed to ensuring the safety of all residents in Karachi, particularly in areas where road hazards may pose risks due to monsoon rains, construction, or high traffic. Following observations from local authorities, BREDO encourages residents to adopt practical safety measures to protect themselves and their families.
Key Safety Guidance:
| I | Exercise Caution in Flooded or Damaged Areas | Residents should avoid roads with visible waterlogging, potholes, or debris. When unavoidable, proceed slowly and carefully, maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles and obstacles. |
| III | Use Designated Safe Routes | Local authorities have identified safer roads and routes during adverse conditions. Residents are encouraged to follow these recommended paths and avoid shortcuts through high-risk areas. |
| IV | Temporary Road Safety Points (TRSPs) | Community points such as traffic management stations, emergency coordination centers, or designated safe spots provide guidance and support during hazardous conditions. Residents can report issues, seek help, or find directions from TRSP personnel. |
| V | Emergency Preparedness | Drivers and pedestrians should carry mobile phones, emergency contacts, and essential items like water and basic first-aid kits. Being prepared can reduce risk and ensure timely assistance if needed. |
| VI | Stay Informed and Follow Official Updates | Residents should monitor updates from local authorities, news outlets, or NGO channels regarding road conditions, closures, and emergency advice. Following official guidance ensures safe travel and minimizes risks. |
