The Katani Villas Syokimau fire was devastating 💔
Lessons from that night:
🚒 Response speed is everything. Our firefighters can do better.
🤝 Neighbours united can do wonders.
📋 Coordination & communication save lives.
My heart goes out to the neighbors who lost their homes.
@Easymkenya@_James041 Please speak of what you know… show compassion to affected families. How can insurance scam be what comes to mind in a gated community where each unit is owned by different home owners?
@EstherPassaris If only the response period for the so called fire departments would be improved. It was saddening to hear some asking for a deposit before dispatching firefighters. Got me wondering-is payment more important than saving lives and property? My heart goes to my affected neighbors
Climate impacts are already costing Africa between 3% and 9% of GDP annually, equivalent to as much as $440 billion raising debt risks and borrowing costs#ClimateWeek2025 Event on Catalyzing Public-Private Investments for #ClimateAction in Africa. .@AfDB_Group@soniaborrini
