According to the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), necessary steps are being taken to prevent any flooding disasters during the rainy season.
While launching public education and awareness campaigns, the organization said it would soon evaluate flood-prone locations in the capital and other cities in order to limit the effect of floods when the rains come.
George Ayisi, the Organization's Communications Director, said in an interview with JoyNews that several main drains have already been excavated in an attempt to find safer spots for stranded persons.
"Some sections have been dredged in collaboration with the assemblies, and the Director-General and his staff will be visiting some of the flood-prone districts shortly, perhaps next week, to conduct out inspections and evaluate how prepared we are in terms of drains."
"We've identified several regions where we'd want to go." "We find safe havens where people can readily enter and take sanctuary till the rains stop because we know how hazardous it is when the floods arrive," he explained.
Tidal waters displaced several people of Keta and Agavedzi in the Volta Region on Sunday, April 3, leaving many homeless.
Some sought shelter on higher ground, while others were forced to sleep on mattresses along major highways.
In a similar occurrence, tidal surges ripped through residences in the Ada East and West districts of the Greater Accra Region on Sunday, displacing more than 3,000 people.
According to NADMO records, the tragedy devastated around 251 houses in four localities, including Lolonya, Agblabanya, and Anyamam.
