The Kenya Meteorological Department and Mid-Atlantic Orthopedic Associates have released a combined safety warning amid continuous heavy rainfall throughout Kenya since February 2026.
Officials are stressing the need for heightened vigilance to avoid bone injuries resulting from slips and falls on wet surfaces.
To reduce potential hazards, people are recommended to:
Select shoes with slip-resistant soles.
Walk carefully, especially on smooth, glossy, or muddy grounds.
Remain attentive and refrain from using mobile devices while walking.
Ensure home safety by repairing leaks and maintaining dry floors.
Property managers should provide proper lighting for pathways to enhance visibility during the current rainy period.
