    "content": "(b) Measures taken to address various disasters in the country are as follows:- (i) On droughts, my Ministry utilizes weather reports from the Meteorological Department and the Drought Early Warning Bulletins to create awareness and sensitize the people on the areas that are likely to be affected by the drought. In addition, the Ministry maintains relief and Strategic Grain Reserves for quick interventions whenever there is need. (ii) In the same light, my Ministry provides relief food to millions of affected needy Kenyans; one million needy cases are fed every month by the Government of Kenya. In collaboration with World Food Programme (WFP), relief food is provided to another two million Kenyans through protracted relief and recovery operations. (iii) On fire disasters, the Ministry has drafted the National Fire Safety Management Policy which provides comprehensive measures to address risk associated with fire. The Policy proposes the establishment of the Kenya Fire Safety Agency to be responsible for co-ordination and promotion of fire safety management in the country. (iv) On floods, the Ministry has embraced an elaborate approach in addressing perennial floods. District Disaster Management Committees have been sensitized to formulate flood contingency and mitigation plans in all flood prone areas."
