ADDRESSING PERINEAL FLOODING A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE

Joyfully, the raining season is already getting intense in most part of the country.  It is necessary that the government and the people take proactive measures to address the scourge. As a first throw of the dice, we advocate for the integration of flood risk management with spatial planning.  Sustainable urban planning with green infrastructure and technological alert systems will be helpful. In this regard we call for strategic planting of trees especially in municipals. This is not time for rhetorics or jamborees couched in the euphemism of summits and seminars or convention on flood.  In fact as a matter of necessity, we call for the use of Self Closing Flood Barriers (SCFB) in communities and high risk flood zones as river defences should be constructed too to prevent rivers from bursting their banks.  Likewise, Government must create and enact a functional flood control and management policy immediately.  We implore the 36 states and the FCT authority to create retention basins for harvesting flood water from major rivers and for possible ground water recharge. That way, excess water from major rivers is stored and safely handled without wrecking havoc.  There should also be intense public enlightenment. Traditional rulers, council chairmen, community and youth leaders should rally to educate the people on the dangers of ignoring flood warnings.  This should be closely backed up by a radical evacuation of people living in flood danger zones.  States and Local Governments must have their flood hazard maps and community action plans that is functional and in use.
