SoDMA Warns Public of Flood Risks as Heavy Rains Hit Somalia

The Somali National Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA) has warned the public of the risks of flooding and displacement as heavy rains hit different parts of the country in the past hours.

The agency held a press briefing on Saturday, October 21, 2023, to update the media and the public on the situation and the impact of the rains.

Director Khadar Sheikh Mohamed Nur said that the rains were caused by the El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to peak in late 2023 or early 2024 and could have significant impacts on rainfall, temperature, and storm activity in different parts of the world.

He said that SoDMA was monitoring the weather patterns and preparing contingency plans to mitigate the risks of flooding and provide humanitarian assistance to the people affected by the floods.

He also said that SoDMA was working closely with international and local partners to mobilize resources and enhance the capacity of local authorities and communities to cope with the possible emergency.

He urged the public to follow the advice and warnings issued by SoDMA and other relevant agencies and to take precautionary measures to protect themselves and their properties from the floods.

He also appealed to the media and civil society to raise awareness and educate the public about the El Niño phenomenon and its consequences.

He advised the public to stay away from river banks and flood-prone areas, to avoid crossing flooded roads or bridges, to move to higher grounds if necessary, and to report any emergencies or damages to SoDMA or other authorities.

He also asked the public to cooperate with SoDMA and other agencies in their efforts to provide relief and assistance to the affected people.
