Event: FL Flood Number: 2009-000294 Country: KEN Kenya Location: Date (YMD): 2009-11-4 Time: Duration: Magnitude: Information Source: IFRC Comments: Exceptional heavy rains in the last few days have caused serious flooding in low lying and poorly drained plains in North Eastern, Coastal Regions and Lake Victoria Basin. The consequences include massive displacement of populations and destroyed infrastructure, leading to escalated food prices in the affected regions. The outlook for the next five days (29 October to 2 November 2009) indicates high chances of wet conditions in the Eastern half of the country that includes Coast, North-Eastern, parts of Eastern, parts of Central and Nairobi provinces. This is likely to exacerbate flooding along the coastal strip and parts of North-Eastern region.
