A civil society organisation Action Aid Nigeria, (AAN) yesterday, urged Niger Delta state governments, and other Southern states, to urgently take proactive measures against looming flood disaster.

The organisation through its Director, Andrew Mamedu, strongly adviced the governors and relevant agencies to take immediate and proactive measures to mitigate the impact of the predicted flood.

This includes evacuating residents in flood-prone areas to safe zones and providing emergency shelters, conducting public awareness campaigns to educate citizens on flood safety measures.

He also encouraged ensuring drainage systems are clear and functional to prevent blockages, and stockpile emergency relief materials such as food, water, and sanitation kits.

Mamedu also advocated the activation of emergency response plans and teams to quickly respond to the disaster, collaborating with local communities, state governments, and other stakeholders to ensure a coordinated response.
