NADMO says these measures constitute its preparedness for the rainy season following projections by the Ghana Meteorological Agency that there could be heavy rains in June, July and August. Floods during rainy season are a common occurrence in parts of the region, especially Accra, the national capital, where the phenomenon results in loss of lives and property every year. Therefore, it is curious for NADMO officials to be prompted by projections by the meteorological agency before they plunge into serious action towards assuaging the effects of flooding in the areas concerned. The organisation was established by the National Disaster Management Organisation Act, 1996 to be responsible for the management of areas affected by disasters and similar emergencies, and for the rehabilitation of persons affected by disasters. NADMO, as part of your roles, you should have plans to solve the flooding problems across the country.
