By aligning our resources and expertise, we ensure that no community is left behind when crisis strikes.” ​In response, Hon. E. K. Dawood Mensah commended the Red Cross for its unwavering support. He noted that the synergy between the government’s statutory mandate through NADMO and the volunteer-driven mission of the Red Cross is essential for achieving the region’s goal of “Zero Disaster Mortality.”

​The two leaders agreed to deepen their collaboration & coordination that will ensure quarterly review of disaster preparedness plans and to conduct periodic simulation exercises towards rapid response. This visit signals a renewed era of cooperation aimed at building a safer, more resilient Central Region. This visit comes on the heels of NADMO’s recent focus on flood preparedness, demolition of structures on water courses, handling of vehicular & canoe related accidents, etc for the 2026 agenda and it summarized as ​”Disaster management is not a solo act; it requires the synergy of all stakeholders to build a resilient community.”
