…Conducts Assessment with various SEMA’s

In response to the recent flood incidents that devastated some communities across the country, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has conducting assessment of the impacts with the various States Emergency Management Agencies (SEMAs) to provide timely and appropriate support to the affected persons.

The timely response by NEMA to the flood incidents is in furtherance to the early preparations made by the Agency, in deployment of search and rescue teams and placement of all NEMA zonal and operation offices on alert.   The Agency has also commenced deployment of relief items to complement efforts by the various State Governments to provide succor to persons affected by the floods. 

Furthermore, NEMA shall continue with public sensitization as well as  grassroots awareness through advocacies and workshops on solid waste management to raise public consciousness on clearance of blocked drainages and water ways. 

So far based on statistics from the NEMA Emergency Operations Centre established for the flood monitoring and coordination of resource deployment indicates that 27 states have been impacted with a total of 227, 494 persons affected and  32,837 houses damaged as well as 16,488 hectares of farmlands with crops also damaged.

The Director General NEMA Zubaida Umar re-affirms commitment of the Agency to coordinate and provide necessary support towards efficient disaster management in the country. She reiterates that communities at risk of flooding and those living along water ways should  relocate to safe higher grounds ahead of the peak of the raining season. 

Furthermore, she urges all stakeholders, especially SEMAs and community leaders to be ready to activate at short notice, plans and preparations for flood with the increasing incidents in some parts of the country.

In a related development, the Director General NEMA has advised farmers not to panic over the temporary dry season being experienced in some states, noting that the situation will soon be over as contained in the seasonal climate predictions release earlier in the year by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet).
