The Director-General, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Alhaji Muhammad Sidi, has urged governments at all levels and stakeholders to collaborate to enhance the resilience of citizens vulnerable to flood.

Sidi, represented by Mr Fagbemi Kayode, the Director of Research and Forecasting in the agency, made the call during a flood awareness campaign for early warning and early action for all stakeholders.
.
The campaign was organised by the agency's Gombe Operations Office in Jalingo.

Sidi, who described the 2012 flood disaster that ravaged many states as unprecedented, said that its attendant hazards should serve as a wake up call to governments and communities to take responsibility for disaster risk reduction.
