The Directorate also urged motorists and pedestrians to exercise the highest levels of caution while traveling, to remain alert to road hazards, and to comply with the instructions of Public Security personnel deployed in the field to provide assistance when needed.

In addition, the PSD emphasized the safe and proper use of all types of heating devices, the importance of ensuring adequate ventilation from time to time, and the need to secure objects that could be displaced by strong winds.
