Residents of flood-prone Budalangi are calling for greater mental health awareness and psychosocial support as the country prepares for the anticipated El Niño rains. They say disaster response has traditionally focused on providing food and other relief supplies, while the psychological impact on victims receives little attention. The calls come as the national and county governments intensify preparations to mitigate the effects of El Niño in areas prone to flooding during heavy rains.
