Today, Kenya Red Cross, represented by Deputy Secretary General Safia Verjee, joined Governor Johnson Sakaja, National Government agencies and partners at Charter Hall for the joint El Niño Preparedness and Mitigation Meeting.
Across the city, work is underway to clear drainage, secure riparian areas along the Nairobi, Ngong and Mathare rivers and prepare temporary holding sites where affected families can find safety and support.
At Kenya Red Cross, we have planned for the worst so that families don’t have to face it alone.
Our water rescue teams, boats, emergency shelter, health services and clean water and sanitation support are ready to back the County’s Response Teams, alongside drone and satellite imagery to help track flooding in real time.
