“Our emergency teams, led by the Disaster Management Department, are actively engaged in the relief efforts in affected areas,” the county said. “Following the heavy rains witnessed in Nairobi County last night, we have witnessed the impact and subsequent flooding in the city. County emergency lines received numerous distress calls between 7 pm and 3 am from residents reporting flooded homes, stranded motorists and people trapped in various neighbourhoods. Technical teams from Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company have since been mobilised to repair the damaged infrastructure and restore services. “County teams are currently conducting assessments, after which affected families will receive the necessary support including blankets and other essential relief items,” the statement said.
