Japan helping with early warning on floods

Japan has made approximately US$1m available to boost Guyana’s National Flood Early Warning System, the Ministry of Agriculture said yesterday in a release.

This was disclosed by Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha during a virtual handing-over exercise.

Mustapha noted that the recent flooding which has been declared as a national disaster has highlighted the need for a well-developed and operational National Flood Early Warning System.
