Why is this happening? Testalinda.

The report on the 2010 debris torrent called on the government to do a better job of monitoring “orphan” dams.

The story behind the story indicates there is some fear of a repeat of the 2010 event so a lot of action has taken place quietly away from the public eye this week.

Just saying – I think it could have been communicated to the public quicker. I cannot believe the situation developed in 24 hours, 48 hours, or 96 hours.

The nature of the word monitoring is that someone should be observing and reporting on needed strategic action at an early stage.
