The National Disaster Management
Organization (NADMO) is advising people not to move through floodwaters to
reach their destinations.
NADMO’s warning comes two days
after four bodies were recovered from floodwaters in various towns in
the Ashanti Region following Wednesday’s downpour.
The Ashanti Regional Director of
NADMO, Frank Duodu, urged the public not to risk their lives during a downpour.
He admonished the public to take
warnings from the Ghana Meteorological Agency seriously during the rainy season
and act accordingly.

“Make sure that when the rains are
coming, we follow the warnings of the Meteo Agency and if there is no need to
go to places you know are flood-prone areas, don’t go.”
Mr. Duodu also advised the public
to take shelter on higher ground whenever it is raining.
“You find high places to lodge when
the rains are coming but if it turns out to be what we witnessed on Wednesday,
not that the place got flooded, but you decide to go through the flood waters,
then I will say there is more that we have to do.”
The brother of one of the victims
in the Atafoa incident died when he dived into the river to find the deceased
on Thursday, June 22nd.
