Flood Warning Issued for Parts of Tanzania

Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) has issued a warning for severe weather including heavy rains for five days over some areas of Dar es Salaam, Coast specifically in Mafia Isles, Lindi, and Mtwara regions. The rains are likely to affect some economic activities and localized floods. The TMA advises residents in the mentioned areas to get prepared.

In 2018, heavy rains wrecked havoc in several parts of the country, exposing fragile disaster management mechanisms and confirming that the government needed to do more to improve Dar es Salaam's drainage systems.
