Natural Disasters

 

The Rwandan governement is doing a lot of work on disaster preparedness. Yet, the heavy rain and frequent lightning is one of the most commen and larges natural disasters presiding in Rwanda today. Communities are often quick to help and assist victims. However, it might help to keep track of the disasters and the response to them, for improved efficiency.

 

"A disaster toll free line — 170 —  has been set up and the public has been urged to make use of it" (NT).
