resulted in significant \u00a0flooding\u00a0 and \u00a0landslides\u00a0, particularly in the 2 Nolu Be\u015firli neighborhood. The old state coastal road has been \u00a0submerged\u00a0, causing traffic delays as water accumulates on the roads. This situation has led to nearly \u00a050 vehicles\u00a0 and many local businesses being inundated, prompting ongoing water \u00a0evacuation\u00a0 efforts by municipal teams.<\/p>\n<h2>IMPACT ON HOMES AND BUSINESSES<\/h2>\nThe relentless rain forced several vehicles to become \u00a0stranded\u00a0, while numerous homes and businesses ended up \u00a0flooded\u00a0. Rescue operations by municipal teams successfully freed individuals trapped in their vehicles and businesses. Currently, cleanup efforts are underway in the basements and ground floors of affected properties.<\/p>\nDamage assessments began shortly after the storm, especially for vehicles harmed in the Pazarkap\u0131 neighborhood’s parking lot. \u00a0Flooding\u00a0 and landslides have also wreaked havoc in the area, with authorities from the Trabzon Water Supply and Sewerage Administration (T\u0130SK\u0130), Ortahisar Municipality, and emergency response teams continuing their efforts.<\/p>\n<h2>83 FLOOD REPORTS RECEIVED<\/h2>\nAccording to a statement from the municipality, 83 reports of \u00a0flooding\u00a0 were received throughout the day, with emergency teams deployed immediately to address these issues. T\u0130SK\u0130\u2019s management, along with the Roads Maintenance, Parks and Gardens, and Fire Department, mobilized around \u00a0460 personnel\u00a0, alongside \u00a016 vacuum trucks\u00a0, \u00a020 canal cleaning vehicles\u00a0, and \u00a024 construction machines\u00a0 to combat the emergency.<\/p>\nAuthorities have urged citizens to exercise caution in areas where \u00a0landslides\u00a0 and \u00a0flooding\u00a0 may occur, especially around transformers and poles to avoid electrical hazards.<\/p>\n<h2>LANDSLIDES AND DAMAGES<\/h2>\nReports from Ortahisar Municipality confirmed that severe rain has led to floods and landslides in various neighborhoods. Many homes and businesses have suffered flooding, while retaining walls have crumbled and access roads have been cut off. Ortahisar Mayor Ahmet Kaya inspected affected areas. He described the situation as a serious \u00a0disaster\u00a0, noting the intensification of the rain starting at 4 AM, which resulted in \u00a0flooding\u00a0, \u00a0landslides\u00a0, and subsidence across multiple neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<h2>RAIN TRIGGERING FLOODING<\/h2>\nGovernor Aziz Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m convened with municipal officials to discuss the ongoing challenges. He noted that heavy rain started around 3 AM, peaking between \u00a063 and 50 kilograms per square meter\u00a0 by 10 AM, which led to significant water accumulation in certain areas.<\/p>\nThis \u00a0flooding\u00a0 caused substantial damage to businesses along the coastal route and in local schools, necessitating immediate evacuation measures.<\/p>\n<h2>MISSING PERSON SEARCH ONGOING<\/h2>\nSearch efforts continue for \u00a072-year-old H\u00fcseyin Ayd\u0131n\u00a0, reported missing in \u00c7ukurca. Governor Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m shared that \u00a0278 calls\u00a0 for assistance were made to the municipality and emergency services, predominantly from the Ortahisar district.<\/p>\nOut of these, \u00a0139\u00a0 were resolved immediately while others remain ongoing. Before the report of Ayd\u0131n’s disappearance, authorities had confirmed that no individuals were missing.<\/p>\n<h2>DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS STARTED<\/h2>\nY\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m confirmed that the treasury office has been instructed to commence damage assessments for residential and vehicle losses. Community members who suffered losses are encouraged to report to local authorities, including the treasury, agricultural offices, and AFAD.<\/p>\n<h2>KEEPING ROADS OPEN IS ESSENTIAL<\/h2>\nWith traffic issues persisting, Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m urged residents to limit unnecessary travel, as emergency services may struggle to navigate congested routes. Schools have resumed normal operations, and public transportation will offer services free of charge until midnight, ensuring accessibility for affected residents.<\/p>\n<h2>POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUING RAINFALL<\/h2>\nThe governor emphasized the likelihood of scattered rain continuing but reassured the public that no severe weather alerts had been reported. Citizens residing near \u00a0rivers\u00a0 and \u00a0valleys\u00a0 are advised to remain vigilant given the possibility of sudden water surges.<\/p>\nThe community faces a considerable recovery process ahead, with extensive damage assessment needed to restore normalcy in Trabzon.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n<\/div>\n \n <a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">General News – 1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trabzon’s Catastrophic Flood: Roads and Homes Underwater; 1 Person Missing Heavy rains in Trabzon have resulted in significant \u00a0flooding\u00a0 and \u00a0landslides\u00a0, particularly in the 2 Nolu Be\u015firli neighborhood.

Currently, cleanup efforts are underway in the basements and ground floors of affected properties.<\/p>\nDamage assessments began shortly after the storm, especially for vehicles harmed in the Pazarkap\u0131 neighborhood’s parking lot. \u00a0Flooding\u00a0 and landslides have also wreaked havoc in the area, with authorities from the Trabzon Water Supply and Sewerage Administration (T\u0130SK\u0130), Ortahisar Municipality, and emergency response teams continuing their efforts.<\/p>\n<h2>83 FLOOD REPORTS RECEIVED<\/h2>\nAccording to a statement from the municipality, 83 reports of \u00a0flooding\u00a0 were received throughout the day, with emergency teams deployed immediately to address these issues. T\u0130SK\u0130\u2019s management, along with the Roads Maintenance, Parks and Gardens, and Fire Department, mobilized around \u00a0460 personnel\u00a0, alongside \u00a016 vacuum trucks\u00a0, \u00a020 canal cleaning vehicles\u00a0, and \u00a024 construction machines\u00a0 to combat the emergency.<\/p>\nAuthorities have urged citizens to exercise caution in areas where \u00a0landslides\u00a0 and \u00a0flooding\u00a0 may occur, especially around transformers and poles to avoid electrical hazards.<\/p>\n<h2>LANDSLIDES AND DAMAGES<\/h2>\nReports from Ortahisar Municipality confirmed that severe rain has led to floods and landslides in various neighborhoods. Many homes and businesses have suffered flooding, while retaining walls have crumbled and access roads have been cut off. Ortahisar Mayor Ahmet Kaya inspected affected areas. He described the situation as a serious \u00a0disaster\u00a0, noting the intensification of the rain starting at 4 AM, which resulted in \u00a0flooding\u00a0, \u00a0landslides\u00a0, and subsidence across multiple neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<h2>RAIN TRIGGERING FLOODING<\/h2>\nGovernor Aziz Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m convened with municipal officials to discuss the ongoing challenges. He noted that heavy rain started around 3 AM, peaking between \u00a063 and 50 kilograms per square meter\u00a0 by 10 AM, which led to significant water accumulation in certain areas.<\/p>\nThis \u00a0flooding\u00a0 caused substantial damage to businesses along the coastal route and in local schools, necessitating immediate evacuation measures.<\/p>\n<h2>MISSING PERSON SEARCH ONGOING<\/h2>\nSearch efforts continue for \u00a072-year-old H\u00fcseyin Ayd\u0131n\u00a0, reported missing in \u00c7ukurca. Governor Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m shared that \u00a0278 calls\u00a0 for assistance were made to the municipality and emergency services, predominantly from the Ortahisar district.<\/p>\nOut of these, \u00a0139\u00a0 were resolved immediately while others remain ongoing. Before the report of Ayd\u0131n’s disappearance, authorities had confirmed that no individuals were missing.<\/p>\n<h2>DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS STARTED<\/h2>\nY\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m confirmed that the treasury office has been instructed to commence damage assessments for residential and vehicle losses. Community members who suffered losses are encouraged to report to local authorities, including the treasury, agricultural offices, and AFAD.<\/p>\n<h2>KEEPING ROADS OPEN IS ESSENTIAL<\/h2>\nWith traffic issues persisting, Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m urged residents to limit unnecessary travel, as emergency services may struggle to navigate congested routes. Schools have resumed normal operations, and public transportation will offer services free of charge until midnight, ensuring accessibility for affected residents.<\/p>\n<h2>POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUING RAINFALL<\/h2>\nThe governor emphasized the likelihood of scattered rain continuing but reassured the public that no severe weather alerts had been reported. Citizens residing near \u00a0rivers\u00a0 and \u00a0valleys\u00a0 are advised to remain vigilant given the possibility of sudden water surges.<\/p>\nThe community faces a considerable recovery process ahead, with extensive damage assessment needed to restore normalcy in Trabzon.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n<\/div>\n \n <a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">General News – 1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trabzon’s Catastrophic Flood: Roads and Homes Underwater; 1 Person Missing Heavy rains in Trabzon have resulted in significant \u00a0flooding\u00a0 and \u00a0landslides\u00a0, particularly in the 2 Nolu Be\u015firli neighborhood.
