[kictanet] Longonot Erruption

[jude mwenda]

Very valid point. Africa is known to have poor disaster
preparedness mechanisms. Though I am of the opinion that building
resilience to natural disaster may actually mitigate the post disaster
effects. This ranging from loss of life to livelihoods. Kenya's disaster
portfolio is mainly droughts and floods yet is one of the disasters that
can be prevented by building resilience. But i think efforts are in place
to help the country build resilience, such as the National Drought
Management Authority.
