The Kanifing Municipal Council in collaboration with relevant stakeholders conducted a simulation funded by IOM through NDMA. The objective of the exercise was to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of KM in the management of disasters relating to international migration should they abruptly occur.
The exercise was preceded by a five -day workshop in which the Regional Disaster Management Committee developed its contingency plan, identifying international migration as one of the region’s hazards.
Significant to the simulation exercise was the coordination among the relevant authorities such as Red Cross, KM youth, the Security apparatus, health personnel, KMC staff, Women, and NDMA.
