This campaign came as part of the "Strengthening the Social Stability and
Resilience of Vulnerable Jordanian Communities and Syrian Refugees in Amman
against Flash Floods" project, funded by the
Japanese government, the
national program coordinator for UN-Habitat Jordan, Deema Abu Thiab said in a
statement Wednesday.
Abu Thiab said that the project evaluated the needs of the local community and
refugees in floods, raised awareness on the danger of disasters, and identified
priorities to implement the appropriate intervention to control and eliminate
the risk of flooding, through using the "CityRAP" tool that has been
developed by Habitat over the past ten years.
This project is in line with the
Jordan National Natural Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy 2019 to 2022, which identified flash floods as the second
risk and hazard priority.
