EL NINO PREPAREDNESS!
Led by Waziri Kenneth Ambani alongside Chief Officer Ms. Justina Mwikya, Inspectorate and Sub County Directors Mr. Charles Changawa and Mr. Mohamed Bates, we had an El Nino preparedness and Mitigation Strategies meeting at the Inspectorate offices this morning.
The County Government recognizes the potential impacts of the upcoming El Nino season including heavy rainfall, flooding, landslides and other related hazards and to ensure the safety of residents, properties and Infrastructure, we are developing an integrated action plan to enhance preparedness.
We are mapping out disaster prone areas, identifying informal settlements prone to risks, health facilities around disaster prone areas, routes and areas for evacuation, preparing our Sub County and Ward disaster management committees in readiness for this season, stakeholders we will work with at the grassroots besides other nitigrities.
This report will then be in used to fine tune the overall County El Nino preparation plan in coordination with all departments and partners.
