The government has triggered the National Contingency Plan to provide timely assistance to communities at risk from flooding and rain‑related hazards linked to the expected El Niño rains.

Troops from the Kenya Coast Guard Service, Kenya Defence Forces, National Police Service, Kenya Red Cross Society and the National Youth Service have been placed on standby for rescue operations.

Designated evacuation and displacement centres are ready, with a standardised registration system to track displaced persons and deliver assistance.

Alternative access routes will be opened where roads are blocked, and air support will be coordinated through the National Disaster Operations Centre as needed.

The Public Health Emergency Operations Centre and Incident Management System have been deployed to monitor and prevent water‑borne and vector‑borne disease outbreaks.

Supply pipelines for therapeutic and supplementary nutrition commodities have been secured to ensure continuity of essential support.

Water‑quality surveillance will be intensified and water‑treatment products distributed in affected areas.

Sanitation facilities in settlements are being assessed, with measures in place to limit contamination and related health risks.

Pre‑positioned food stocks are ready for release in the ten Priority 1 counties – Tana River, Garissa, Kisumu, Busia, Nakuru, Mombasa, Kilifi, Wajir, Mandera and Turkana – to safeguard food security.

Relief stocks and emergency shelter materials have also been pre‑positioned for rapid deployment to evacuation sites, with protection monitoring mechanisms prepared to assist vulnerable groups.

Agricultural advisories will be issued to guide farmers as conditions evolve, and animal disease surveillance will be stepped up to protect livestock.

All response activities are coordinated through the National Disaster Operations Centre to keep national and county actions timely and targeted.
