Comments:
On the night of September 17 to 18, 2013, heavy rains caused the rupture of the dam along the Logone River at the town of Dougui, Kai Kai District in the Far North Region of Cameroon. This caused initial evacuations of people to the banks of the dam. On September 27, 2013, a second rupture in the dam 4 km from the first rupture started flooding the area and nearly 9,000 people were evacuated immediately. Following this second flooding, a team directed by the Cameroon Red Cross (CRC) Disaster Management Coordinator deployed to the area to do initial assessments and participate in the coordination mechanism.
