Nigeria: Red Cross Braces for Flooding in Nigeria

press release

When floods hit Nigeria in 2012, communities in several states were caught unprepared. It was the worst flooding the country had experienced in 40 years, affecting 7 million people. They simply did not know how to cope.

The Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), with support from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), has spent the past eight months working with communities to ensure they are better prepared should the 2013 rainy season result in the same kind of flooding.
