I think I had read somewhere that they had evacuated
people living in the surrounding areas some time last week.
What was interesting was the debate- one group said it
was not geological movements and that is was simply effects of the heavy
rains while another said it was...
I wonder how well financed these organs are to
handle any disasters.....and if they are, how they equip themselves. And
how have they adopted the use of ICT for disaster preparedness? I
really wonder!

Subject: [kictanet] Longonot
Erruption
There have been reports in media about a looming eruption of
Mt. Longonot, including localised earthquakes with the ground having
huge cracks. Today morning, the Mai Mahiu - Naivasha road has been closed due
to huge cracks on the road rendering it impassable.
My question is whether the country's disaster organs are
prepared to handle the disaster, and what can be expected from
the eruption, in terms of area affected, and earth movements and their
locality?
