Our purpose of informing our people is to reduce the level of damage the flood could cause anytime it happens. The message now is very, very important following the prediction by theNigerian Meteorological Agency(NIMET) and Imo State is likely to be affected by the flood.People are usually not serious when it comes to early warning prediction, but we will continue to educate the people on the need to always monitor the sea level around them and also report to authorities.Evan Ugoh - vanguardngr.com
