NADMO warns of possible outbreak of epidemic

Accra (Greater Accra) 16 July '99

The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) on Thursday warned that stagnant waters in the communities at Tetegu and areas south of the Weija dam in Accra, could be a recipe for epidemics.

A statement in Accra after a tour of the area by officials of NADMO said

the situation in these flood-prone areas was worse than previous years as new houses spring up, blocking waterways.

As a result, more houses have been flooded, breaking walls and killing people.
