Businesses that were affected by last year\u2019s June 3rd<\/sup> flood and fire disasters appear to have done little to protect themselves against any possible disaster that may recur.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A visit by Citi Business News\u2019<\/strong> Norvan Acquah-Hayford to some of the affected business sites (from the Kwame Nkrumah Circle through to the Graphic Road) a year after the incident, showed that there has not been any significant change regarding the preparedness of the companies in the event of another disaster.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Even though the Accra Metropolitan Assembly is desilting the Odaw River, their inability to completely dispose of the waste materials collected, continue to pose a threat to the businesses located within the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Companies such as Rana motors are however putting up measures to relocate so as to avert another loss should a similar disaster recur.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
