A pretender only interested on what is in it for him. @WilliamsRuto deserved a benefit of the doubt, until he played the hand dealt. He is just a profiteer from the chaos ! @mtalaki @slmiheso @Txxaddi @IanECox @Jasiri_9line @MtaitaMkauma @VictorMwambacha
standardmedia.co.ke/national/artic… This is a chance to improve the 6 decades of rot in National Emergency Management Arrangements, bring together the efforts of all governments, private & volunteer agencies to deliver coordinated emergency management across all hazards.

nation.africa/kenya/news/rai… A Disaster Declaration is a formal statement by a jurisdiction that a disaster or emergency exceeds the response and/or recovery capabilities. Although a declaration is commonly addressed after a disaster, a declaration may be made if a disaster is found to be imminent.

For @A_S_Nassir, a know all who doesn't listen any suggestions are an attack. So don't expect a CPP to be operationalized with mandate in early warning, search & rescue, evacuation, sheltering, First Aid, relief distribution & rehabilitation activities. @FauzKhalid @Jasiri_9line A Cyclone Preparedness Program (CPP) is a unique institutional arrangement for community preparedness created to mitigate the challenges of cyclones that hit or can hit coastal cities. @mtalaki @slmiheso @bintikombo @Acetineo @ParassisO @VictorMwambacha @PwaniTribune @mmunga_

@WilliamsRuto A game of musical chairs ! You won't declare it a disaster, so as not to direct fund it, there is no legal framework, nor required National DRM strategic arrangements. You meet to do what exactly ? @IanECox @Jasiri_9line @mtalaki @slmiheso

@peninah_malonza @citizentvkenya Please stop ! You sound stupid even before you utter anything ! The difference is Countries like Brazil have a DRM system. Their prep'dness & response component Bombeiros is Kenyan trained. @IanECox @Jasiri_9line @mtalaki

In DRM capacity refers to all strengths, resources available within a community, or society to manage, reduce disaster risks & strengthen resilience. Involves use of brains too @WilliamsRuto. Which me thinks is in short supply in your Govt. @Jasiri_9line
the-star.co.ke/news/2024-05-0… Hazards do not have to turn into disasters.
To break the vicious cycle of "Disaster, respond, recover, repeat.", we need a better understanding of disaster risk, in all its dimensions. @slmiheso @oloojl @Acetineo @ayogo_do @kinjeketile @PwaniTribune @Pmwanyosh

Especially because you my friend is a hypocrite, when it comes to Muranga's FRS. @safariwithselle Let's guage Muranga Fire & Rescue Service- herein referred to as MFRS. On one basic tenet of Fire Control.
On your watch, is MFRS a fire & rescue service that has a competent and resilient fire control capability, resourced to meet the demands placed upon it @HonKangata ?

Let's talk professional standards for fire & rescue services. Versus a bunch of OJT clowns in halloween suits ? For a lack of our own local standards that provide a benchmark for what is expected of services in providing for their communities, & what they need to do to achieve those expectations. Can pick international ones such as the NFPA, for our critique @safariwithselle ?

My madness has a reason @Jasiri_9line. RTA's involving LPG tankers can directly impact the tank's integrity, are highly likely to cause large-scale gas leakage & explosion accidents.
The type of tank leakage directly influences the severity of accidents. @oloojl @mmunga_ Continuous releases of gas primarily characterize LPG leakage accidents, whereas instantaneous leakages are relatively infrequent. Nevertheless, instantaneous leakage accidents pose greater hazards & cause broader ranges of damage. Which need specialized response @jairuskagondu.
