Residents in flood-prone and low-lying sections of Agona Swedru, Nyakrom, and Nkranful have been advised to remain vigilant, take precautionary measures, and comply with safety directives issued by NADMO and other relevant authorities.

The Agona West Municipal Director of NADMO, Mr. Charles Agbavitor, issued the warning in Agona Swedru after assessing the water level of the River Akora on Friday, June 5, 2026.

He urged residents to exercise extreme caution and closely monitor developments, noting that weather conditions and water levels could change rapidly and unexpectedly.

Mr. Agbavitor assured residents that NADMO officials in the municipality were on high alert and ready to provide timely information and warnings to communities along the river should conditions worsen or water levels rise significantly.

He further cautioned residents, particularly those living within buffer zones demarcated by National Security in 2010 following a major flood disaster that affected Agona Swedru, Nyakrom, Swedru Sabon Zongo, and Swedru Salem, to strictly adhere to all flood warnings and safety protocols.

According to him, compliance with the directives is critical to safeguarding lives and minimizing damage to property in the event of flooding.
