Today, severe heavy rainfall in Kozan district of Adana led to a flood disaster in Göller Plateau. As a result of the heavy rainfall that started around noon, streams overflowed and agricultural lands were submerged under water.

AFAD, Adana Metropolitan Municipality, and Kozan Municipality teams are present in the region to inspect the damages caused by the flood and start the cleaning efforts. The extent of the damage caused by the floodwaters has not yet been clearly determined.
