The Nairobi County Government has deployed emergency response teams to Githogoro and Mukuru areas to mitigate the damage caused by Friday evening’s deluge of heavy rains recorded in different parts of the country.
In a statement on X, the county administration revealed that the Nairobi County Rapid Response team is presently assessing the scope of the damage caused by the rains.
“Nairobi County Rapid Response team led by Chief Officer Bramwel Simiyu is currently carrying out a joint County-wide assessment exercise with Red Cross/DMOs to establish the extent of the impact of last evening’s heavy rains,” the statement reads in part.
“Some immediate interventions are already ongoing in some areas that have been hardest hit, such as Githogoro and Mukuru, as efforts to mobilize, consolidate, and deploy additional resources go on.”
The intense rains disrupted normalcy, engulfing streets, with some businesses forced to shut down temporarily.
Motorists and commuters similarly found themselves stranded due to impassable roads which halted transportation in different parts of the city.
The weatherman anticipates that the rains will continue pounding for the next week.
