According to the WRC official site, it seems that the officials in Jordan have asked the army to join in and repair the roads in due time, while also closely collaborating with Municipal agencies to make sure every road will be clean and usable 3 weeks from now.
“It has been an incredible show of unity, determination and professionalism by all parties involved,” said Khaled Zakaria, Jordan Rally clerk of the course, according to the aforementioned source.
“Even during the horrendous storms, we had people working up to their knees in mud and water determined to restrict the amount of damage caused to the routes. It has been a fantastic national effort and after surveying the damage, we are confident of having everything back on track soon.”
The problems with Rally Jordan's stages come from the fact that most of them run below sea level, which makes it easier for the water to cause flooding in these regions. Although efforts to rehabilitate the roads have already started for some time now, it is believed that not all of them will be saved by the date the rally will set off.
Consequently, the organizers are likely to announce some route changes in the upcoming couple of weeks, with some stages being completely scrapped and replaced by others (if that's possible) depending on the safety of the roads.
Rally Jordan counts as the 3rd event of the 2010 World Rally Championship and first debuts in the series back in 2008. In 2009, the event was not held due to the FIA's rotating policy in the WRC.
