The Central Regional Director of Communications for the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) Eric Kwaku Badu Arthur says the organization will soon embark on a hazard mapping exercise.

“The exercise will affect all communities in the Central Region,” he noted.
According to Central Regional Director of Communication, they have charged all the Zonal Officers in the region to identify all the various objects and structures that can lead to disasters adding it will give them a fair knowledge about where accidents are likely to occur.
“It gives us room to put plans into action to mitigate some of these disasters” he explained.
He also hinted that this mapping exercise will help the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO)update their various disaster plan.
He was, however, optimistic that this exercise would be a successful one.
