Gov Obiano said that he was relieved that the areas visited were calm with no major incident of flooding. He expressed joy that the people are safe compared to 2018 when the areas were ravaged by severe flooding.

He however warned that there may yet be one more month of rains. He urged the people to move to higher grounds to avoid sudden upsurge of water and possible flooding.

The Governor also noted that the state is fully prepared to contain any emergency. "The state government has strategically positioned water ambulances and speed boats to offer first aid and evacuate people should any emergency arise".
