The announcement follows the weekend floods in parts of Accra which is said to have claimed seven lives and destroyed several properties.

Public Relations Officer of NADMO retired Major (rtd) Nicholas Mensah told Joy News recommendations have been made to assemblies and the Local Government Ministry to pull down structures on waterways
Meanwhile in the Ashanti Region, hundreds of buildings in the Atwima-Mponua District have been destroyed.
The homeless are currently seeking refuge in some school buildings and sheds built by NADMO.
Member of Parliament for the area, Isaac Asiamah, told Joy News the extent of damage could rise after NADMO completed its study of the disaster.
