    "content": "reported disasters, other supportive Government agencies take unnecessarily long to respond, leave alone being actively engaged in the rescue, recovery, support and mitigation activities. This situation needs to change. County governments are also expected under the policy on NDMA to have County Disaster Management Committees (CDMA) and to set aside a percentage of their allocated revenues to a disaster fund which would support disasters that may occur in their areas. It is high time the counties took the issue of disaster management seriously especially with regard to quick responses. Counties need to appreciate that they are in unique environments and be prepared to mitigate for any eventual disasters. Some counties are prone to floods, landslides, forest fires, industrial accidents and so forth. There has to be continuous capacity building of personnel and members of the public with inspections of various potential disasters by the CDMA. Only by being alert, responsible and prepared will the country lessen the impact of disasters to our people. The NDMA policy behooves all stakeholders to be well acquainted with its operations and how every Kenyan, especially the mandated agencies keep themselves prepared both in resources and personnel to manage disasters of all kinds, if and whenever they occur."
