SIEHS-1122 Puts Emergency Services on High Alert; Urges Citizens to Stay Indoors & Avoid Unnecessary Travel

With heavy rains and urban flooding disrupting life across Karachi, Sindh Integrated Emergency & Health Services (SIEHS) has placed all emergency medical and ambulance services on high alert.

SIEHS has deployed over 100 ambulances across the city, supported by trained medical teams on-ground and the central Command & Control Centre, which is monitoring the situation and coordinating rescue efforts round the clock.

Citizens are strongly advised to remain cautious and follow safety measures to prevent accidents and health risks:

• Restrict non-essential activities and outdoor movement.
• Avoid low-lying, waterlogged, and flooded areas.
• Stay away from electrical poles, wires, and exposed infrastructure.
• Travel only if absolutely necessary, and with extreme care.

For assistance:

• Dial 1122 for emergencies (medical, rescue, and life-threatening situations).
• Dial 1123 for non-emergency support and information.

SIEHS field teams remain actively engaged across districts, working in close coordination with local administrations, while the Command & Control Centre ensures round-the-clock response and resource management. Public cooperation and precautionary action are essential to minimize risks during this critical period.
