In its latest assessment, the SPCB highlights that its main findings, in general, continue to focus on clusters in risk areas, homes built with inadequate materials or techniques and the weak sanitation system.
According to the SPCB, there are also limitations to its actions, such as the lack of technical rescue equipment, namely motor pumps, chainsaws, suction vehicles, generators, suction hoses for stagnant water in streets and alleys, as well as the lack of support vehicles.
