MOGADISHU – The Chairman of the Somali Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA), Mr. Mahmoud Macallin Abdulle, delivered a speech at the Somalia Humanitarian Forum (CHF 2026), emphasizing the importance of preparedness and proactive measures to mitigate the impacts of El Niño and floods.
The chairman highlighted that decisions related to preparedness and disaster prevention should be based on forecasting data, the conditions of the Jubba and Shabelle rivers, the areas inhabited by vulnerable communities, and lessons learned from previous floods, particularly the El Niño of 1997–1998 and 2003.
He also stressed the importance of coordinating government and humanitarian partners to strengthen support and reach the areas most at risk.
The chairman of SoDMA called for the strengthening of evacuation plans, shelter, health, protection, and economic support, prioritizing the most vulnerable communities at the highest risk of the impacts of floods and El Niño-related disasters.
