A senior officer with the Conservation and Environment Protection Authority Gabriel Luluaki pointed during a field visit to the hinterlands of Madang last weekend.
He said rural folks must be extra careful walking along pathways closer to river banks flooded creeks or at the side of steep hills and mountains。 This is to avoid being swept away by flood or by landslips.
“With the continuous rains， the soil maybe be soaky and can sink or fall and hurt or kill people.
“Flooded rivers and creeks are also dangerous so don’t go near to the banks” Luluaki said.
