The National Disaster Operations Center (NDOC) Director, Col. (Rtd) David Samoei, is urging for increased investment in risk knowledge and anticipatory action to address the growing complexity of disasters.

• The call follows a four-day workshop in Nairobi focused on developing a National Technical Co-production and Action-based Forecasting (ABF) framework.
• Key stakeholders, including the Kenya Meteorological Service Authority, NDOC, UK Met Office, and World Meteorological Organization (WMO), were involved.
• The workshop emphasized a people-centred approach, integrating Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) to protect vulnerable populations.
