@WilliamsRuto @AnneWaiguru Whilst at it, detour & visit Kirinyaga Fire Service unannounced. Please ask them to show you their Self Contained Breathing Apparatus-SCBA. If they even know what it is ? You are in good company. That of Frauds ! @MaryK2022 @BennonMaina @Jasiri_MAR

https://twitter.com/WilliamsRuto/status/1822215200000573841

From deterministic & probabilistic risk perspective. If you Mr. President visited any Kirinyaga Fire Station, bevit in Kutus, Kerugoya, or if one exists in Kagumo.
Asking about SCBA's is seeking to address extensive risk, exploring key concepts in disaster risk reduction.

@MiBeMa_2022 @PS_Betsy_Njagi @psmining_ke Congratulations are in order @HassanAliJoho. Your to do list is a lengthy one. However, will we see some changes in mine safety, less deaths in Kakamega or less carnage along main Blue Economy Corridor,with better emergency response ?



Communities in Coastal Kenya, living alongside one of the world’s most beautiful coastlines are especially dependent on a healthy blue economy for food, energy production, small business growth & their wellbeing.

@DrAndrewkaranja @kilimoKE @WilliamsRuto Congratulations on your appointment Daktari. I do not envy you though. Inheriting the cesspit Kilimo House & all it's sagas is. All the same, what are we in for on your watch ?

Am disaster minded as you well know. So any chance we will see a National Resilience Approach.
Say a cross-sectoral operational policy & objective framework to mitigate the negative impacts of current shocks, disasters & better equip Kenya, to be resilient to future challenges ?

What Does Fire Safety Manager Do ?

A fire safety manager is a safety professional who is responsible for overseeing the maintenance of fire safety systems, and associated practices, within a given building, facility, or worksite.



Their regular duties include monitoring all fire safety related works that take place on premises (e.g., equipment maintenance), preparing evacuation plans and conducting fire drills.

DISASTER RISK GOVERNANCE- KIRINYAGA COUNTY.

Annotation: Good governance is transparent, inclusive, collective and efficient to reduce existing disaster risks and avoid creating new ones.

Anything to write home about, @AnneWaiguru @County_20 ? By definition Disaster Risk Governance-DRG, is a part of the overall governance process “the way in which authorities private & public, civil servants, coordinate at community, all levels in order to manage, reduce disasters & their associated risks.

MAKE MOMBASA FIRE & RESCUE SERVICE GREAT !
Yes We Can @A_S_Nassir

Capability & preparedness are key factors in ensuring that we are ready to effectively manage major emergencies in Mombasa County 001 .



Emergency management (EM) capability means the collective ability to reduce the likelihood and consequences of an emergency event.

Capability is underpinned by five key capability elements.

@WilliamsRuto @MusaliaMudavadi
@KindikiKithure @InteriorKE @NAssemblyKE @NACommitteeKE @Senate_KE @SenCommitteeKE
@KenyaGovernors
Time to change State Dept for Interior & Coordination of National Govt.
To State Dept for Interior, National Govt Cordination, & Disaster Risk Mgmt.



With the National Disaster Risk Management Bill, 2023, soon to be come law. 25 years of it's orginal done at, the then KCCT Mbagathi failed in its several versions later, to see the light of day.

THINGS KENYANS ARE POOR AT.

2. EMERGENCY RESPONSE.

What Does Emergency Response Mean?

An emergency response is an immediate, systematic response to an unexpected or dangerous occurrence.



The goal of an emergency response procedure is to mitigate the impact of the event on people, property, and the environment.

Emergencies warranting a response range from hazardous material spills resulting from a transportation accident to a natural disaster.

THINGS KENYANS ARE POOR AT.

1. EMERGENCY PREPAREDENESS.

What Does Emergency Preparedness Mean ?

Emergency preparedness refers to, measures and provisions that increase the likelihood that an individual or an organization is able to get through an unplanned event safely.



While some emergency preparedness measures (like keeping a fully stocked first aid kit) are meant to apply across a number of situations, some are intended for specific scenarios like an earthquake, a terrorist attack, or a chemical spill.

In Developing Emergency Response Capacity & Resilience. We need to support @Rwandapolice Fire & Rescue Service come up with a Fire Cadets Program-FCP.

Training can be delivered by firefighters, non-operational Brigade staff and adult volunteers from local communities. @IanECox



In collaboration with partners like @FlyRwandaAir_ and or the likes of @Radiotv10rwanda @AlwaysInyange as sponsors, it can contribute to the impact Fire Cadets can have on youth, make a big difference in their communities as well as in making our cities & homesteads safer.

I don't scare easily, @RwandaEmergency been there done it for 40 plus years. But on Hazardous Material-HazMat response capability, our experts in incidents involving hazardous materials @Rwandapolice & Humanitarian assistance, go to @Rwandaredcross scare the hell of me.





Do they have a range of response capabilities to deal with Hazardous Material incidents. These include FRU (HazMat) fire engines, the Rapid Response Teams ?

Post-harvest loss is one of the leading issues threatening our food value chain.
Due to these losses, we in Rwanda must be concerned about food security & scale up efforts eradicating it, even more. Time for lip service & fancy talk is long past.



While simple approaches exist to reduce postharvest losses such as improved handling of horticultural crops, there is no one isolated intervention that has proven effective at mitigating this issue, as yet.

@JumuiyaBloc @TaitaTaveta006 @OurKwaleCounty @Tanariver004 @LamuCountyKe @MombasaCountyKe
Waiting for the National Govt to do an Agricultural Crisis & Disaster Risk Mgmt Strategy or Plan, for us to replicate downwards to County Level won't happen any time soon. Wake up !



We need an @JumuiyaBloc approach enabling each of our 6 County Depts for Agriculture, @KilifiCountyGov, being at the forefront to participate in efforts to face crises & disasters of various forms in order to ensure a safe & stable Coastal regional environment by providing-:

@GideonMungaroM At the forefront of your robust agricultural development strategy is the expansion of irrigated farmland, you say ?

https://twitter.com/GideonMungaroM/status/1821134728327487559

I say kindly stop joking ! Kilifi is different & therefore generic approaches do not work.
How then can you do it without first trying to develop water, land resources & then manage them for diversified, economically sound, sustainable irrigation and drainage systems ?

Will we ever, breaking the Cycle of Food Insecurity in Kenya. With the likes of @KIMANIICHUNGWAH &@SenHamidaK, flooding @NAssemblyKE @Senate_KE with demonic foreign bills. Until when will we be pawns in the Bill Gates & Warren Buffets food colonization Olympics ? @Mpzuleikahassan



Wouldn't their energies be better spent in spearheading say, a National Resilience Strategy aimed, at creating a Country-:

(i) Resilient to economic & environmental shocks;

(ii) Able to sustain inclusive growth, food & nutrition security;
@alaminkimathi @MaryK2022 @mmunga_

One wonders, who really is behind demonic, agricultural, livestock, plants & seeds capture flooding @NAssemblyKE by the likes of @KIMANIICHUNGWAH & @SenHamidaK & why, when we have other more important issues like drought they could be fight, if a genuine lot ? @Mpzuleikahassan To me the likes of @KIMANIICHUNGWAH & @SenHamidaK, should be leading lights, the visionaries in developing an effective, integrated risk & Agricultural Disaster Risk Mgmt system for plant, & animal husbandry systems so as to minimise the impact of droughts. @MaryK2022 @mmunga_

Assuming the vetting sham is a done deal, & one of our own @HassanAliJoho is the Blue Economy Honcho.
Are we in, for a much needed pragmatic shift, spurring the delivery of the full blue economy potential, or it is just the same shit on a different day ? @Mpzuleikahassan



Will we see an indigenous Blue Economy Roadmap, the development of policies, programs & activities supported by all stakeholders, aimed at realising the sustainable ocean economy ? @Acetineo @PwaniTribune @A_S_Nassir @bintikombo @VictorMwambacha @OkoaMombasa @mmunga_ @macsleem

What the demonic Agriculture, Livestock & Food related bills mushrooming in Parliament & Senate, as sponsored by myopic cheaply bought politicians, are saying is simple.
Whilst campaigning for President using Agriculture Development & Food Security Platform @WilliamsRuto lied ! He spoke of eradicating hunger, malnutrition & food insecurity. With very strategic objectives like : Increasing household food production & trading; Improving income generation & job creation opportunities;
Improving nutrition & food safety. @mpzuleikahassan @Mary2022K @oloojl

@RailaOdinga calls for swift action & construction of perimeter wall after fire razes down Toi Market.
A Holocaust camp replica, is the best "thank you", a former Area MP can think of. What a darling ? @BennonMaina @IanECox @Jasiri_MAR @omari_omwaniki @Jordanasaida @NubianRights The most recent major fire occurred in June 2023, when traders awoke to find properties worth millions reduced to ashes.
Before that, in Nov- 2021, another fire swept through the market, destroying a substantial section of stalls and leaving traders with heavy losses. @mmunga_

HOW IS " KANJO" REALLY PROTECTING NAIROBI'S NEARLY 5M POPULATION WITH,5 STN's,400 FIREFIGHTERS & 16 ENGINES ?

Before the envisaged additional stations at Gigiri, Kagemi & Clayworks (to cover Kenyatta investments at Northlands), are commissioned. Technically speaking, we are saying, 1 Fire Stn per 1 Million People. 1 Firefighter per 12500, 1 Fire Engine per 312,500 coverage ? @SenHamidaK

NFS OPERATIONAL COMPETENCE.
According to the County Appropriation Bill, 2023. Sh120 million, was allocated to add Nairobi's fire stations to 8, with new ones in Gikomba, Kangemi & Clay City. Has that been achieved @SakajaJohnson @edwinsifuna @SenHamidaK @EstherPassaris ?
