Garissa County like most of the Arid and Semi-Arid regions in northern and northeastern Kenya, is vulnerable to acute human suffering and loss of development assets brought about by disasters which are caused by both natural and human induced hazards. The main hazards which cause disasters in the county are; drought, conflict, human and livestock diseases and floods. The occurrence of flood events in the county always results in; destruction of properties, loss of lives, destruction of farms and disruption of livelihoods. As the frequency and intensity of flood events is expected to increase with climate change, as a county, we all need to appreciate the adverse impacts these events could have and the threat these will pose to communities at risk in the county if we don’t act. These events also pose a threat to our livelihood as a county, it is bound to fall into an abyss from the precipice on which it now hangs. This will impede the realization of the Garissa County CIDP and the national Vision 2030. There is need to take action now and in future to mitigate the negative impacts of floods and establish a situation where present and future generations will have better livelihoods that can sustain their well-being, live in peace and enjoy good health. The development and implementation of effective and reliable flood early warning communication systems in Garissa County is key in forewarning and reducing the impacts of floods in the county. Going forward the Garissa County government will in collaboration with other key stakeholders ensure that the strategy is effectively implemented with a focus on; • Extending the lead time of warning • Improving context appropriateness of warnings • Enhancing greater participation and ownership of the forecasts by county and affected communities • Strengthening effective communication and dissemination structure for early warnings • Enhance use of appropriate channel to alert the affected communities • Ensure warning messages are understood by users • Right targeting of warning service to relevant and specific users 6 The County Government of Garissa Flood Early Warning Communication Strategy 7 Acronyms and Abbreviations BRC British Red Cross CBDRT Community Based Disaster Response Team CBPP Contagious Bovine pleural pneumonia CC County Commissioner CBO Community Based Organization CCPP Contagious Caprine pleural pneumonia CDMS County Director of Meteorological Services CIDP County Integrated Development Plan CSG County Steering Group DCC Deputy County Commissioner DRM Disaster Reduction and Management ECHO European Civil Protection

  • Livestock Herd Structures and Dynamics in Garissa County, Kenya Patrick Mwambi Mwanyumba1*, Raphael Wahome Wahome2, Laban Macopiyo3 and Paul Kanyari4
    Mwanyumba et al. Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice (2015) 5:26 DOI 10.1186/s13570-015-0045-6 SHORT REPORT Open Access Livestock herd structures and dynamics in Garissa County, Kenya Patrick Mwambi Mwanyumba1*, Raphael Wahome Wahome2, Laban MacOpiyo3 and Paul Kanyari4 Abstract In Kenya’s Northeastern Province, pastoralism is the main livestock production system and means of livelihood. However, pastoralists are facing increasing risks such as drought, insecurity, animal diseases, increasing human populations and land fragmentation. This study sought to evaluate household livestock herd structures and dynamics in view of such risks and subsistence and market demands. The study was conducted in Garissa County of Kenya, using a cross-sectional household survey. The data was analysed for descriptive statistics of household livestock status, dynamics and demographic parameters. The results showed that females of reproductive age formed over 50 % of all livestock species. Cattle had the highest turnover and all species’ mortalities accounted for the greater proportion of exits. Cattle had the highest multiplication and growth rates, but also the highest mortality, offtake, commercial offtake and intake rates. Goats had the lowest mortalities, offtake, commercial offtake and intake rates. Overall, the herds were structured to provide for both immediate and future needs in terms of milk, sales and herd replacement as well as for rapid recovery after disasters. The livestock herd dynamics indicate efforts at culling, restocking, retention of valuable categories of animals, and natural events. Livestock populations would be annihilated over time if the trends in end balances and negative growth rates were to continue and not be interrupted by the upward phases of the livestock cycles.
