As you are all aware Muzarabani is prone to floods. On Tuesday we received heavy rains that were accompanied by strong winds. At least 14 families were affected. We have since activated the CPU which is in charge of disasters which include floods and these winds. We have informed the provincial office which in turn has taken it up.
However, as a district a team was sent to go and assess the situation. We have informed that houses were completely destroyed. We also consolidated effort with the department of social welfare to go and assist with food and other basics such as shelter and blankets.
