Makueni County Government has projected a Sh152 million disaster preparedness budget ahead of the expected October-November-December (OND) El Niño rains.

The funds are expected to support evacuation efforts and the provision of essential services in hotspot areas prone to floods, disease outbreaks, damaged infrastructure and other risks associated with the enhanced rains.

On Wednesday, Deputy Governor Lucy Mulili presided over a Disaster Risk Management Conference for development partners in Wote, aimed at mobilising the required resources and establishing a coordinated disaster response approach to avoid duplication of efforts.

She urged residents to remain vigilant and avoid crossing flooded rivers, which she identified as one of the leading causes of loss of lives during periods of heavy rainfall.

Mulili assured residents that the county government, in partnership with the national government and development partners, is fully prepared to respond to the expected rains, with a focus on protecting lives, infrastructure and livelihoods.
