(2) Assess the existence and effectiveness of an early warning system for floods and landslides in Kisumu County, stating whether flood mitigation measures such as drainage systems, flood barriers and dike construction have been implemented in flood- prone areas, providing a breakdown of costs incurred. (3) Describe how the County Government coordinates with the National Government, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) and Community-Based Organisations (CBO) to enhance disaster preparedness and response efforts. (4) Evaluate the technical capacity and availability of trained personnel, equipment and emergency shelters for flood-related incidents and clarify whether there are measures in place to address the needs of vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) during disasters, and state measures integrated into the County Development Plan (CDP) to reduce risk and build resilience, particularly in flood- prone areas, stating how often disaster preparedness and response plans are reviewed and updated to reflect changes due to climate change.
