The Ghana Armed Forces will on Thursday provide an update on the nationwide flood mitigation exercise being undertaken to reduce the impact of flooding in vulnerable communities across the country.
The briefing, scheduled for 11:00 a.m., will be addressed by the Director General of Joint Operations, Brigadier General Forster Okae-Yeboah, who is leading the military’s flood response operations.
The announcement was made by the Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, who said the briefing will outline the progress of the exercise and the measures being implemented to prevent further flooding.
According to the minister, the military-led operation forms part of government’s efforts to protect lives, property and critical infrastructure following recent flooding incidents in parts of the country.
The public briefing is expected to provide details on the activities being carried out by the Ghana Armed Forces in collaboration with other state agencies, including interventions aimed at reducing flood risks and improving emergency response.
Brigadier General Okae-Yeboah has been tasked with coordinating the nationwide exercise as authorities intensify efforts to address the recurring threat of flooding during the rainy season.
The update comes amid heightened government action to strengthen disaster preparedness and enhance resilience in flood-prone communities.
