Flood alert: FG, UN move to establish unified disaster warning system
At the end of the meeting, participating agencies reaffirmed their commitment to building an effective, inclusive and people-centred national early warning system capable of supporting anticipatory action, improving disaster preparedness and reducing the impact of floods and other climate-related hazards in Nigeria.
NASRDA Director-General, Dr Adepoju, highlighted the importance of satellite technology and space-based data in disaster prediction and response, assuring that the agency would deploy its expertise to strengthen Nigeria’s early warning infrastructure.
