Garissa County has activated its emergency response framework after seasonal rains caused flooding in several areas along the Tana River basin, displacing households in low-lying settlements.
County disaster management officials say temporary relocation camps have been set up and are coordinating with the national disaster management authority for additional relief supplies.
Recurring Pattern
Flooding along the Tana River basin has recurred in multiple recent rainy seasons, prompting renewed calls from county leadership for permanent flood mitigation infrastructure rather than repeated emergency response.
