Mr. Mohammed Dan-Hassan, Head, FCT Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Department, says the department has held a workshop to sensitise residents of Bwari Area Council on what to do in emergency situations.<\/p>\n
Dan-Hassan told our source I Bwari on yesterday that the workshop was necessary to enlighten the residents on what to do n the event of flood, fire diseases and man-made crises.<\/p>\n
He said the workshop was also conducted to raise awareness on how to guarantee safety during emergency water supply crisis.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe workshop is basically to raise the awareness and our consciousness on the need to have a plan in case of emergency situations.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of things happen in this country, but we are not really prepared for it; emergency situations don\u2019t really give you notices.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they occur, if you are not very observant, you may not notice until they really happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe workshop is to sensitise the water and sanitation officers at the area council level on what is expected,\u201d Dan-Hassan said.<\/p>\n
He said the issue of water, sanitation and hygiene must be taken into consideration in any emergency situation, to avoid the outbreak of diseases.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn emergency situations, you evacuate people to safe areas and you have to deal with the problem of water, sanitation and hygiene in that environment and in their present environment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dan-Hassan commended the FCT Water Board and UNICEF for their efforts at addressing emergency situations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
