The government has announced plans to roll out a countrywide public awareness campaign targeting communities living in areas prone to floods and landslides, even as the Meteorological Department continues to issue routine weather alerts.

Speaking during the 48th graduation ceremony at the Kenya Forestry College in Londiani, Environment Cabinet Secretary Deborah Baraza said the campaign aims to sensitise residents on climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness.
