The agency in Casablanca said in a statement, that 386 agents, including executives and intervention operators specialized in sanitation as well as 116 agents specialized in electricity works are ready to rapidly intervene.

Lydec has also boosted the capacity of its customer service call center (05 22 31 20 20) to handle more requests, the source said. The group conducts a weather-watch based on Morocco weather forecasts, radar images and weather satellite images.
