The government has activated a national response plan to ensure Kenyans facing heightened risks from flooding and other rain-related hazards receive timely assistance.
With El Niño rains forecast to begin across the country in the coming days, the Ministry of Interior and National Administration says round-the-clock search-and-rescue operations are on standby to respond to any disasters.
In a statement issued Monday morning outlining comprehensive interventions under the National Contingency Plan, the Ministry said the government is prepared to deploy and scale up interventions in line with the severity and geographic spread of emerging impacts.
