Two assemblies in flood-prone areas of Accra have indicated their readiness for the rainy season.
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA) say they have taken preventive steps to prevent their flood-prone communities from being hard hit this year.
They said the measures which included the provision of infrastructure, sensitisation and enforcement of bye-laws were adequate to help absorb any amount of rainfall.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in separate interviews about their preparedness for the onset of the rainy season, both the Municipal Chief Executive Officer of KoKMA, Nii Adjei Tawiah, and the Head of Public Affairs of the AMA, Mr Gilbert Nii Ankrah, gave the assurance that the preventive action taken would help avert the levels of flooding that displaced people in the past.
