They have 28 personnel as against the expected 40 personnel. They also do not have vehicles for their official duties. These setbacks in the District retard the assessment of disaster areas and the distribution of relief items. For the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 disaster relief items have not been provided to affected victims to support them and tarnishes the image of the organisation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Disasters in the District are in the form of natural and man-made. The main types of disasters are further classified into Flooding and Fire. Man-made disasters are usually in the form of bush fires, whiles flooding is the main natural disaster that occurs. Flooding mostly occurs in areas along the White Volta are other communities in the District that are prone to flooding. Fire related disasters are often witnessed in the all-over the District due to dry environment during the dry season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As a way of reducing these disasters, the NADMO in Talensi District has embarked upon several disaster sensitizations exercises in schools, communities, churches and mosques among others.
