 The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and Zoomlion Ghana Limited have launched a 12-week nationwide flood awareness campaign aimed at promoting responsible waste disposal and reducing the impact of flooding during this rainy season.

According to him, flooding should not be viewed as an unavoidable natural disaster but rather as a preventable challenge that requires collective action from government instituti...
