After devastating floods, Savannah RDMC gets one-month ultimatum to prepare for disasters

His directive comes barely weeks after severe flooding hit several parts of the Savannah Region, destroying homes, farmlands and livestock, washing away roads and cutting off communities from essential services.

The Savannah Regional Disaster Management Committee (RDMC) has been given one month to develop a comprehensive action plan for responding to disasters before they strike, following a string of devastating floods that have disrupted communities across the region.

He directed members of the committee to work together to produce the action plan within one month, with clearly defined actions to be taken whenever a foreseeable disaster threatens any part of the region.
