What to do when this happens again?

Well, here is an informative video by PUB:

Water sensors

Did you know that there are 208 water level sensors in various canals and drains alongside 47 CCTVs at selected places?

These sensors help monitor the drainage system, providing real-time information which is imperative during the rainy season.

You can subscribe yourself to their SMS alerts.

The alerts will include things like water levels in the canals and heavy rain warnings.

So, now you can be prepared when the floodgates decide to open (no pun intended).

Since you’re here, why not watch a video about a guy who lodged a Police report here in Singapore because he was friendzoned? Seriously. Here, watch it and do remember to share it (and also subscribe to Goody Feed YouTube channel)!
