The heightened alert will be in effect from 8:00 AM on Saturday, May 3, through 8:00 AM on Monday, May 5.
In preparation, all firefighting and emergency medical teams within the designated electoral districts have been placed on full standby to ensure rapid response capabilities and maintain public safety throughout the electoral process.
Field deployment of personnel and vehicles is scheduled to begin at 5:00 AM on Sunday, May 4. Units will be stationed at key intersections and in proximity to polling stations as part of a coordinated emergency response plan.
