Posted By: Hija Chang on July 26, 2024 Developing: https://www.hstoday.us/subject-matter-area... To strengthen Sri Lanka’s preparedness for climate-related emergencies, the U.S. government, through the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), donated vital equipment to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC) via the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). This consignment, part of a broader U.S. $2.5 million (approximately LKR 760 million) USAID-funded WFP project, complements government efforts to improve its disaster risk management capacities. The consignment, comprising submersible water pumps, kitchen sets, chainsaws, polysack bags, and tarpaulins, was handed over at an event by Dustin Shiau, USAID BHA’s Regional Humanitarian Advisor for South and Central Asia to Major General (Retired) Udaya Herath, Director General of the DMC, alongside officials from the Sri Lankan government and WFP.
