MOGADISHU, Somalia – The Somali Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA) has issued warnings to the Somali community about the potential impact of the upcoming Spring rains on their lives and property.
This comes in addition to the warnings previously issued for the year 2023, which were related to the El Nino Floods caused by monsoon rains.
The El Nino phenomenon, characterized by the warming of the ocean surface in the Pacific Ocean, has led to increased rainfall and flooding in many regions, including Somalia.
The SoDMA has been closely monitoring the situation and has been working to provide support and assistance to those affected by the floods.
In light of the recent El Nino Floods, the SoDMA is now also focusing on the potential impact of the upcoming Spring rains.
The agency has urged the Somali community to take necessary precautions to protect their lives and property from the potential dangers posed by the rains.
The SoDMA has advised the community to stay informed about the weather conditions and to take necessary steps to ensure their safety.
This includes avoiding areas that are prone to flooding, ensuring that their homes are properly equipped to withstand heavy rainfall, and having an emergency plan in place in case of flooding.
The agency has also urged the community to work together to help those in need during this time. This includes providing support and assistance to those who have been affected by the floods, as well as working to prevent further damage and loss of life.
The SoDMA has emphasized the importance of taking the warnings seriously and taking necessary steps to protect themselves and their community.
The agency will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates and support to the Somali community as needed.
