The island had already been devastated by Cyclone Chido in December. Prefect Francois-Xavier Bieuville has urged residents to take precautions and shelter in place to ensure their safety. The decision to issue the red alert was taken to allow everyone to prepare and protect themselves, their families, and loved ones. Mayotte’s residents are being advised to stay indoors and follow safety guidelines to minimize the impact of the upcoming storm. As the island prepares for another natural disaster, the government officials are working to ensure that all necessary measures are in place to support the community. The situation in Mayotte remains critical, and residents are urged to stay updated on weather alerts and advisories. The resilience of the local population will be tested once again as they face the uncertainty and challenges brought by the approaching storm. Mayotte continues to recover from the aftermath of Cyclone Chido while preparing for the potential consequences of the new weather event.
