The government has activated the multi-agency support response to help the flood affected victims, according to Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki.
This comes after several parts of the Country were severely affected by the adverse effects of unrelenting rains during the past week.
“Following a Directive by the President, the National Disaster Operations Centre (NDOC) at the Interior Ministry has this morning stepped up the coordination of multi-agency response interventions of relevant government ministries , departments and agencies, as well as humanitarian organizations to offer support to affected persons,” a dispatch from Kindiki reads.
According to the government the National Police Service (NPS) is coordinating search and rescue operations by land and air, and the Kenya Red Cross is supplementing the measures. The Kenya Coast Guard Service (KCGS) has also been directed to step up its response operations.
The Meteorological Department and Road Agencies are providing regular public advisories on areas likely to be affected by torrential rain. Motorists and pedestrians are urged to cease and desist from risky behaviour in flooded or overly wet areas.
The County Security teams across the Country are directed to work with County Government officials to ensure compulsory evacuation of those at risk.
‘The Government and its development partners have mobilised food and non-food supplies to support the displaced,” the Cs said.
He added that all available financial and human resources as well as public equipment are being deployed to mitigate the adverse effects of the raging waters on life, livestock, crops, and property.
“The public is urged to cooperate with safety, health, risk, emergency, and communication teams dispatched to monitor, report, and oversee help to those who may be in distress,” he added.
