    "content": "OBSERVING, the huge financial resources required to finance disaster reduction, preparedness and other emergency services; NOTING that one of the sources of the Kenya Red Cross Society in financing its operations is through accepting unrestricted contributions and assistance, in any form, from individuals, public authorities and private bodies; APPRECIATING, the efforts made by the prudent management of funds by the Kenya Red Cross Society; FURTHER AWARE that emergency fund is a substantial proportionate Vote Head in both the national and county government budgets; CONCERNED, that the Kenya Red Cross Society has not been allocated a budget from the national and county governments despite the huge contribution in disaster and emergency response across the country; NOW THEREFORE, the Senate urges the national and county governments to explore collaborative mechanisms for the Kenya Red Cross Society to support and implement a paradigm shift from post disaster response to risk reduction by developing and implementing a national disaster risk financing strategy across all sectors and incorporate it into the national and county development planning and financing processes."
