Reach out to flood victims- NADMO Boss
By Awudu Salami Sule, Ghanadot
Accra, July 10, Ghanadot - The
National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has
described the current flood situation in Accra and other
parts of the country as a national crisis and has call on
all Ghanaians to reach out to the victims.
In an interview with section of the media, Mr Kofi Portuphy,
the National Coordinator of NADMO said, since not all the
victims played any role in getting their places of abode
flooded, there was the need for the rest of the population
to support them.
He has also appeal to organisations to assist the victims in
all possible ways.
This came in the wake of frequent downpour which began on
June 19, 2009 in the Western part of Accra, which led to
seven deaths and caused damage to property worth millions of
cedis.
Since then, Accra and other parts of the country, including
Kumasi, Tema, Sekondi-Takoradi, Keta, Ada and Damango
continued to experience heavy downpour.
