This tragedy serves as a solemn reminder of the need for improved disaster preparedness and climate resilience, especially in rural and vulnerable areas. We therefore recommend the following solutions to help prevent or reduce the impact of such disasters in the future:
1. Early Warning Systems: Installation of community-based early warning systems to alert residents of impending weather threats.
2. Improved Housing Standards: Encouraging the use of more durable and weather-resistant building materials for homes and public structures, with support from local government and development agencies.
3. Tree Planting and Environmental Management: Promoting afforestation and environmental care to reduce the impact of strong winds and erosion.
4. Community Awareness Campaigns: Regular education and sensitization of residents on how to respond during severe weather events.
5. Emergency Response Units: Establishing local emergency response teams trained in first aid, evacuation procedures, and rescue missions.
Once again, the Barutem Communities send their deepest sympathies to all affected. May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and may those injured recover swiftly.
Signed,
Barutem Communities
