Kilifi's governor has called on residents in flood-prone areas to relocate to higher ground ahead of the rainy season. The warning comes after years of destructive flooding along the River Sabaki, which has caused significant damage to homes and infrastructure. Local authorities are preparing emergency measures to ensure the safety of vulnerable communities.
The governor emphasized the need for early action to prevent loss of life and property. Officials are working with community leaders to identify at-risk households and provide support for relocation. Recent weather forecasts indicate an increased likelihood of heavy rainfall, prompting the urgent appeal.
Residents in low-lying areas have been advised to follow evacuation plans and avoid staying in flood-prone zones. The government is also coordinating with neighboring regions to share resources and information. These efforts aim to minimize the impact of the upcoming floods and protect the population.
Authorities are monitoring weather conditions closely and will update residents as the situation develops. The governor reiterated the importance of community cooperation in ensuring a safe and prepared response to the seasonal challenges.
