Xafiiska Maareynta Dhaqanka Dabka Soomaaliya (SoDMA) Furay Simuleysid Dib-u-eegis ah oo ku saabsan Dhaq-dhaqaaqa El Niño 2026
Xafiiska Maareynta Dhaqanka Dabka Soomaaliya (SoDMA) ayaa magaalada Muqdisho ku furay simuleysid dib-u-eegis ah oo loogu talagalay in la baaro dhaq-dhaqaaqa El Niño 2026 iyo kalsoonida dalka ee ka dhan ah fatahaadaha iyo fatahaadaha dabiiciga ah ee dhulka Juba iyo Shabeelle.
Qorshaha Simuleysidda iyo Xirfadaha La Baaray
Simuleysiddan waxay diiradda saartaa in la baaro sida wararka hore loo sameeyo, la wadaago, la isticmaalo, iyo in la qiimeeyo xogta khataraha, la xiriirayo hay'adaha, iyo in la qaado tallaabooyin degdeg ah si loo beddelo wararka horumarka ah go'aanno farsamo oo ka hortagga fatahaadaha iyo ilaalinta bulshooyinka dhaq-dhaqaaqa ah.
Simuleysiddu waxay sidoo kale baartaa isku-xirnaanta hay'adaha, wadaagidda xogta, iyo howlgelinta taageerada degdegga ah, iyadoo loo eegayo dhibaatooyinka iyo meelaha loo baahan yahay in la hagaajiyo si loo yareeyo khataraha fatahaadaha iyo in la ilaaliyo nolosha iyo dhaqaalaha dadka.
Hadalka Madaxweynaha SoDMA
H.E. Mahamuud Moallim Abdulle ayaa sheegay in Soomaaliya ay sameysay horumar muhiim ah oo ku saabsan xirfadaha wararka hore, balse wuxuu xusay in muhiimadda ugu weyn ay tahay in wararka la helo la beddelo go'aanno degdeg ah iyo tallaabooyin degdeg ah.
Waxa uu intaas ku daray in simuleysiddan ay tahay mid loo isticmaalo in la ogaado dhibaatooyinka iyo meelaha loo baahan yahay in la hagaajiyo si loo yareeyo khataraha fatahaadaha iyo in la ilaaliyo nolosha iyo dhaqaalaha dadka.
Qeybta Qaramada Midoobay iyo Xubnaha Ka Qeybgalay
Shirkan ayaa SoDMA iyo Qaramada Midoobay ee Qorshaynta Cuntada (WFP) isku xiray, waxaana ka qeybgalay xubno ka socda dowladda federaalka, dowladaha xubnaha ka ah, ururada caalamiga ah iyo kuwa deegaanka.
Shirkan ayaa ah mid loogu talagalay in la baaro dhaq-dhaqaaqa El Niño 2026 iyo kalsoonida dalka ee ka dhan ah fatahaadaha iyo fatahaadaha dabiiciga ah ee dhulka Juba iyo Shabeelle.
The Somali Disaster Management Agency opened a national preparedness simulation in Mogadishu to test the country's readiness for El Niño 2026 and its capacity to respond to sudden flooding along the Juba and Shabelle rivers.
A Joint Effort to Test Flood Response
Organised by SoDMA in cooperation with the United Nations World Food Programme, the meeting brought together representatives from the Federal Government, Federal Member States, international organisations and local organisations to assess national response capacity.
The simulation focuses on testing how early warnings are generated, communicated and used, while assessing risk information and coordinating institutions to translate forecast data into effective decisions that reduce the impact of flooding and protect vulnerable communities.
Turning Warnings Into Action
H.E. Mahamuud Moallim said Somalia has made progress in strengthening early warning systems, but stressed that the priority is to turn available warnings into timely decisions and early action.
He added that the simulation is testing institutional coordination, information sharing and the mobilisation of emergency support while identifying challenges and areas requiring improvement to reduce the impact of flooding and protect lives and livelihoods.
Protecting Communities Ahead of El Niño
The drill aims to identify gaps in the early warning chain and improve the speed at which risk information reaches local authorities and communities along the Juba and Shabelle river basins.
By simulating real-world conditions, SoDMA and its partners hope to strengthen Somalia's ability to respond quickly and effectively to the floods expected under El Niño 2026.
