# The Western Cape government urges residents to take extra care as cold and wet winter weather continues across the province. MEC for Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, Anton Bredell, says disaster teams are on high alert, and local municipalities are ready to respond. Bredell warns that flooding poses a serious risk, especially after the drowning of a young woman in Slanghoek last week. He added public cooperation is key to staying safe during the season.
