The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has introduced the launch of three Automatic Weather Observation Stations that are at numerous phases of set up.

NEMA Boss, AVM. Muhammadu Muhammed revealed this  in an announcement on Monday night.

These stations will be used not only for hydrological predictions but also to train students in the field of Geography, Engineering, Agriculture, meteorology, climate change and other sciences.”

The NEMA boss additionally added that NIHSA’s Annual Flood Outlooks have been a veritable device for NEMA in flood preparedness, mitigation and response since 2013.

Recall, in March the  Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has warned that Nigeria is inching nearer to a peak wet season and urged states and native governments to embark on precautionary measures to forestall instances of flooding.
