Week 1: Introduction and icebreaker

Hello Alex

Welcome to Barza. We are happy to have you with us here.

Thanks for sharing your three choices. I have seen @princeappiahgh ask why would you choose to take livestock. I would also like to know why you choose the items you have chosen.

Cheers

Dear Alex.

Welcome aboard. I am really happy that you have joined this important discussion. However, i wondering how you will be able to evacuate with livestock when you have 15 minutes to run away from the evading floods? I imagine how you will beat the cows, goats, sheep, birds as you hurry within the set 15 minutes. Perhaps it can be done but i am just wondering how quick you will do it. Otherwise i am happy to be with you on the platform. Good deliberations.

Hey Princeappiahgh. Yes, my elements are like more than three, but the would be fourth item was supposed to be married with dry ration. What i wanted to say is; when i carry dry ration, i carry it with a pot for cooking the that food. Thanks for your observation

Hi Sarah,
Thanks you share the same concern with Prince and as I told him it would take long, but it depends on how many I have, it could be only one or two that can be easily driven and remember they are
also sensitive to disasters like other colleagues were talking of their
families first.
However the reason I chose those three is; I can resettle and use my
livestock for milk, beef, manure or even sell to get money and carry on.
For the seeds is what I can feed on in the meantime and even plant while
the farm implements is what will help me to clear and till the new garden
elsewhere.
Thanks
Alex

Hie, My name is Nqobani Ndlovu. I am a journalist based in Zimbabwe. I just joined this discussion fora.

Hello Busi,

My name is Norman Fulatira a former reporter of a privately owned radio station in Malawi called Zodiak Broadcasting Station. I am now a Freelancer and contribute to a number of news outlets including Barzawire.

With regard to the question at hand, I would take the following with me:

  1. My cellphone - for communication up until the battery lasts. The phone may also be used for taking pictures and listening to the radio updates on the situation.

  2. Small pack of groundnuts in my pocket - this could help me eat whilst running away from the flash floods.

  3. Bed sheet - at least a bed sheet so that I can use in case the flooding prolongs and we will be kept in makeshift shelters.

Thanks.
