Mitigation measures at Cept Conservation Site School for Cyclone Tauktae

As Cyclone Tauktae approaches our city, we took a few urgent mitigation measures yesterday at Conservation Site School (Tankshal ni Pol Masjid). Although the site was already made safe for access earlier, we wanted to ensure that the structure is safe and that people are aware of its vulnerability so that no human life is in danger.

Structurally vulnerable areas of the site have already been supported as part of our previous efforts over the last few months. Yesterday, we covered up the most vulnerable corner of the structure's exterior facade. The corner is vulnerable due to the fact that some parts of the load-bearing brick walls have severely deteriorated. Therefore, these parts of the wall were covered to prevent direct lashing of heavy rains that could affect them further.

In addition to this, we shifted our furniture to safe interior locations, cordoned off the site, and placed signs of danger all around to alarm pedestrians and avoid any risk to people living in the vicinity and accessing areas around the site.

We hope the site is safe through this cyclone and urge everyone to stay indoors and be safe!
