FCTEMA Warns of More Flood Before December

The Agency is strategising on curbing flood and other disasters across the territory

The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency has warned residents of the FCT not to expect any end to the rainy seasons soon as there will be more flood.

The Director General of the agency, Abbas Idriss who gave the warning during the agency's quarterly press briefing, said it was strategising on curbing flood and other disasters  across  the territory.

According to Idris, this year's rainy season is going to last longer than the usual where it is expected to stop in October adding that FEMA had initiated a sensitisation programme where stakeholders usually meet to reappraise measures to tackle fire, flood and other disasters in the  outskirts of Abuja.

He explained that the agency is concerned with flood prone areas especially the suburbs where the disaster is human induced, and would continue to work with the strategic stakeholders in averting disasters.
