To prioritize societal safety, the National Emergency and Crisis Management Authority, the National Center of Meteorology, and the Ministry of Interior monitored the impact of the depression through a series of meetings with the joint assessment team for weather and tropical conditions. They discussed various scenarios and implemented preventive measures after evaluating the severity of the conditions in affected areas.

The National Center of Meteorology has verified the dissipation of the depression and its effects on different regions. Data indicated a decrease in rainfall and a gradual enhancement in weather conditions across the country. The National Center of Meteorology's projections effectively reduced damage and ensured the safety of inhabitants and communities efficiently.

The Ministry of the Interior stated that field work teams operated proactively and preventively, maintaining high levels of readiness and preparedness. The Supreme Committee for Internal Security remained in constant session during the weather event to ensure swift response and uninterrupted operations. Civil defense, ambulance, rescue, and police patrol teams continued to secure roads and areas prone to flooding. Some roads were closed as a precaution, with alternative routes opened. Efforts were made to drain accumulated water, secure dam exits and valleys, and manage traffic in affected areas.

The authority commended the concerned authorities for their effective response to the depression, which helped mitigate the impact of the unusual weather conditions. Their proactive and professional approach set a high standard for an integrated response, ensuring the protection of lives and property and enhancing stability and safety in the country.
