Common Natural Hazard in Nigeria
Just like in the story of the Philippines, one of the common natural hazards in my country Nigeria is flooding. The frequency of this phenomenon is definitely affected by climate change because it is mostly influenced by rainfall intensity and duration. The communities facing this challenge the most are those along the banks of the River Niger and the farming communities of the North Eastern Nigeria that is commonly known to be a deserted region. The locals in these deserted region, guided by some government agencies and NGO's are making efforts towards afforestation and agroforestry, but there's still a lot of work to be done as farmlands keeps getting swept off anytime the disaster hits. For the communities on the banks of the River Niger, they don't have much to do when the river overflows its bounds other than to move away and return to their homes when the sea level drops.
