Flood: States Must Take Charge, Strengthen Emergency Response — NEMA

As floods continue to submerge communities in Nigeria, the disaster that has been consuming lives and properties with thousands displaced for decades, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has charged state governors to take responsibility in addressing disasters within their domains. The agency warns that too much reliance on federal government intervention during disasters is a contributing factor leading to casualties and damage caused by floods and other natural disasters. The call was made by Air Cdre Kenneth Oyon, NEMA’s Director of Search and Rescue, while leading a panel at a workshop organised by NEMA for executives of state emergency management in the northwest and community champions in flood-prone communities in Kano.
