Three things I would pick in case of such impending disaster are as follows:
-
Food Supply; food is critical for everyone’s survival. So I will pick as much food as possible before the disaster strike since there has been early warning issued.
-
Source of Information: My Radio is so dear to me. So I will carry my Radio set with adequate battery so I can track the disaster as it unfolds. In case I have access to the Internet, I will also carry some data with me so I can share my conditions, locations with the world. This will help in making distress call for help to come.
-
Thirdly, I will pick adequate warm clothes, beddings and cash. This will prove critical as conditions where I am taking refuge might also change. In the event that I will need to relocate, I should have enough cash on me.
Disasters that have been warned are easy to cope with compared to those which strike un- announced. And I pick them on assumptions that I am not a journalist but an ordinary farmer. Safety first.
Thank you very much.

It is normal expectations for Governments to support courses but these phenomena do not work in Africa, so what left is sacrifice from everyone in this emergency of threat from climate change. We have to use every mean available to us to help curb this menace. Research and technology could be the surest way of addressing this, but need funding to do that, our foreign investors or development partners such as USAID, UKAID and others seem to support campaigns on the issues than giving the needed scientific tools to tackle the issues. Awareness creation is key but the final resort are pragmatic measures put in place to deal the issues.

We have come to the end of Week 1 for our discussion on agriculture and climate change. It has been a very good week as it was all about getting to know each other and what we expect to learn about climate change.
A big up to all who participated fully this week by introducing themselves and participating in the icebreaker activity. Remember, people who participate in Week 1, 2, 3 & 4 will receive a certificate of participation at the end of the discussion. Please make sure you do not miss this opportunity.
We have three resource people that will make sure we learn a thing or two and all questions are answered.
