These conditions pose significant risks to communities, including displacement, food insecurity, and the spread of waterborne diseases. Vulnerable populations, including women, children, and the elderly, are particularly at risk. • • To mitigate the impact of flooding and enhance community resilience, it is crucial to raise awareness and provide timely information on flood emergency preparedness and response measures. Effective communication through radio, a widely accessible medium across South Sudan, is essential for reaching and informing a broad audience about safety protocols, evacuation procedures, and essential services during emergencies. 2.
