NADMO, the National Disaster Management Organization, has urged the people to pay attention to weather warnings issued by the Meteorological Service.

"Let us pay attention to the Meteorological Service's weather warnings. "These days, meteo is nearly 100 percent correct in its predictions," stated George Ayisi, NADMO Communications Director.

In a press conference, he stated that NADMO has identified and classed nine flood-prone districts in Accra as critical.

Sahara, Adabraka, Nanakrom, Ashaley Botwe, Ablekuma, Dansoman, and Weija are among them.

Mr. Ayisi did highlight, however, that NADMO has established safe havens to evacuate citizens from these locations in the event of an emergency.

NADMO offices across the country will work with the assemblies to distill the drains, he said.

"Thank goodness, the Ministry of Works and Housing is also dredging the big Raw." "For us, that is a progressive one," he continued.

On Friday, April 8, a one-hour downpour halted vehicular traffic on the Kasoa Highway's Weija Barrier – West Hills Mall segment, as well as the Central Business District, Sahara, and Ottawa.

From 2014 to 2020, 174 individuals died, five went missing, and 172 were injured across the country, according to official NADMO statistics.
