THE NATIONAL Disaster Management
\nOrganization (NADMO) has inaugurated disaster management committees in seven
\nassemblies within the Greater Accra Region.<\/p>\n

The
\ninauguration which took place at the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) led to
\nthe formation of committees at Tema West, Ledzokuku-Krowor, La-Dadekotopon,
\nAshaiman, Kpone-Katamanso and Ayawaso West.<\/p>\n

A
\nsimilar inauguration took place at the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and
\nAyawaso East, Ayawaso North, Ayawaso Central and Ayawaso West.<\/p>\n

The
\ncommittee comprises members from the NADMO, Ghana Police Service (GPS), Ghana
\nArmed Forces (GAF), Ghana Health Service (GHS), Ghana National Fire Service
\n(GNFS), Ghana Education Service (GES), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and
\nPlanning Officers of the Assemblies, including the Department of Social Welfare.<\/p>\n

Mandates of the committees include
\ndeveloping strategies and giving early warning signals to pre-empt the possible
\noccurrence of disasters in the region.<\/p>\n

Besides, the committees are
\nexpected to look at climate change as a development challenge, as well as
\neducate members of the public on the need to desist from negative activities
\nsuch as deforestation, bush burning, sand winning and the construction of
\nbuildings on water ways which have the potential to cause flooding.<\/p>\n

During the inauguration, the Greater
\nAccra Regional Minister, Ishmael Ashitey, said
\nthe committees were being created under section 13 (2) of Act 517 of 1996.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty
\nyears after its establishment, a new law was passed 2016 (Act 927) to give the
\norganization more responsibilities and resources to carry out its mandates,\u201d he
\nstated. He tasked members of the committee
\nto work hard and churn out positive results.<\/p>\n

Eric
\nNana Agyeman-Prempeh, Director-General
\nof NADMO, said the government was committed to disaster prevention to ensure the safety of the public.<\/p>\n

The
\nMetropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) of Tema, Nii Anna-La, touted the successes chalked
\nup by the Tema Metro NADMO.<\/p>\n
