Monrovia, June 2025 — The National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) of Liberia has issued a warning regarding the impending rainy season, which spans from June to September. Heavy rains and strong winds are forecasted, posing serious risks of flooding across low-lying and flood-prone areas.

According to NDMA estimates, more than 60,000 residents living in vulnerable lowland communities could be affected by flooding this season. The agency stresses the urgency of preparedness and calls for coordinated efforts to mitigate potential damage to homes, infrastructure, and agricultural lands.

Potential Impacts

Government and Community Response

The government has urged communities to stay vigilant and heed early warning systems. Relief agencies and local authorities are mobilizing resources to support affected populations, including evacuation plans, emergency shelters, and medical assistance.

The flooding threat underscores the critical need for enhanced infrastructure resilience and investment in climate adaptation measures across Liberia’s flood-prone regions.
