Basic safety tips during floods

Ministry of Health issued safety tips during floods.

From mudslides, to major roads getting submerged, to residential homes being flooded, the ongoing heavy rains continue to cause havoc across the country with no signs of abating.

As residents of various estates of Kitengela had the torrents seal off their houses, a section of Thika road had to be closed to forestall a tragedy as water submerged it.

This is as government spokesman Isaac Mwaura updated on Thursday that the country has so far lost 188 people to the ongoing floods.
