Disaster Resources

Your emergency kit should include: water (1 gallon per person per day), non-perishable food (3-day supply), flashlight, batteries, first aid kit, medications, important documents, cash, emergency contacts, and personal hygiene items. Also include items specific to your family's needs such as baby supplies, pet food, or medical equipment.

Signs of flood risk include: history of flooding in your area, proximity to drainage channels or wetlands, low-lying topography, poor drainage infrastructure, and heavy rainfall forecasts. TODFCO provides risk mapping services and can help assess your specific location's vulnerability.

During a flood warning: stay informed through official channels, prepare to evacuate if instructed, move to higher ground, secure important documents, turn off utilities if possible, avoid walking or driving through flood waters, and follow evacuation routes. Keep your emergency kit accessible and charge your mobile devices.

You can volunteer by: filling out our volunteer application form, attending our monthly volunteer orientation, choosing your area of interest (emergency response, community outreach, environmental protection, or training), and committing to regular participation. No special skills required - we provide all necessary training.

TODFCO provides: rapid needs assessment, emergency response coordination, evacuation assistance, relief distribution, temporary shelter support, first aid services, and recovery planning. We work closely with government agencies and other organizations to ensure comprehensive emergency response.

We provide training in: disaster risk reduction, emergency response procedures, first aid and CPR, search and rescue techniques, climate change adaptation, environmental protection, community organizing, and leadership development. Training is available in both Luganda and English.
