Macau was on high alert of flood Friday as the Port Authority has issued an announcement requesting the public to take precautionary measures.
The Port Authority has reportedly been informed by the central government's Ministry of Water Resources that the water level of the Pearl River will reach its peak between 11 am and 1 pm local time.
The water level at near Sai Van Bridge and close to the Cross Border Industrial Park is expected to reach 4.2 meters, one meter above the normal level, the Port Authority predicted.
All schools in Macau, due to the impending warning, have been demanded by the concerned authorities to take measures to ensure the students' safety.
The public is advised to remain vigilant of further announcements and advisories through television and radio broadcasts.
