MSD has released a preliminary report on the 2026/27 El Niño phenomenon
@ParliamentZim must finalise the Disaster Risk Management & Civil Protection Bill, which will replace the Civil Protection Act of 1989
We can't continue relying on reactive systems @InfoMinZW#ACTonDRMBill
@ACTonDRMBill@Olisehnjr10@lamlihle@SnoeMoyo@MurwirShorai Trust drops when warnings aren’t localised or linked to resources. Fix = translate andcontextualise, impact-based, in mother tongue, via radio/SMS/chiefs, with clear “what to do now
@ACTonDRMBill@Olisehnjr10@lamlihle@SnoeMoyo@MurwirShorai people resist EWS when warnings don’t speak to them that’s too technical, wrong language, no clear action, or they’ve had false alarms before. Many alerts are still in English or jargon, not ChiShona, IsiNdebele, or local dialects
@ACTonDRMBill@SnoeMoyo@MurwirShorai@lamlihle@Olisehnjr10 For 2026/2027, a risk-informed season under means every person in Zimbabwe can access, understand & act on warnings. That’s 4 pillars met: risk knowledge down to ward level, impact-based forecasts in local languages, alerts that reach the last mile
@ACTonDRMBill@diana_harawa@SnoeMoyo@lamlihle@MurwirShorai@Olisehnjr10 coordination was stronger this season with early plans across all levels. But policies on paper didn’t fully protect communities. real effectiveness means devolving resources, authority, and skills to local level before the rains, so warnings turn into action on the ground.
@ACTonDRMBill@lamlihle@MurwirShorai@SnoeMoyo@Olisehnjr10 We had early forecasts & a plan, but EWS only work if warnings reach the last mile. To save lives, we need: impact-based alerts, faster fund release, community SMS/radio in local languages, & pre-season school retrofits. Warning ≠ action unless it hits the ground.
