Jill Kaunda: Why El Niño preparedness can’t wait Some of the most useful actions are also the simplest. Clear drainage around homes and public spaces. Check roofs and gutters. Guest Blogs 1 hour ago
The Kenya Red Cross Society encourages communities to monitor official warnings, clear drainage, secure homes and critical infrastructure, and move people, livestock and assets away from high-risk areas before conditions worsen.
