One of the most damaging impacts resulting from climate change is the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters. Low-income, minority and historically underserved populations are disproportionately affected by these extreme weather events, from droughts to floods. The USEPA estimates that the economic loss from these extreme events will reach $6 billion per year by 2090. The two most crucial activities occurring as part of disaster management are disaster preparedness, which occurs before disaster strikes, and emergency response, which is a post-disaster measure to alleviate impacts. As Uganda is experiencing a vivid weather change to wet conditions, we speak to Robert Kwesiga, Secretary General of the Uganda Red Cross Society, to check how Uganda is prepared and the dynamics in response to prone areas.
