The government has released the first national risk and vulnerability atlas showing parts of the country that are prone to natural disasters.
The national risk and vulnerability atlas identifies seven types of disasters that strike diverse parts of the country in different seasons.
These are floods, drought, lightning, earthquakes, landslides, hailstorms and windstorms.
The report, a culmination of five years’ work, was launched in Kampala yesterday by Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda.
According to the atlas, all districts in Karamoja Sub-region and Isingiro District are prone to drought followed by districts in northern Uganda, parts of Teso Sub-region, Mbarara and Mitooma districts.
