Dear Colleagues,
As monsoon rains intensify across India, the risk of water-borne disease outbreaks grows significantly—especially in flood-affected and low-resource areas. Stagnant water, poor drainage, and overcrowded shelters often trigger epidemics such as cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis.
In this context, Sphere India Academy is organizing a webinar on "WASH and Epidemics: Preventing Water-Borne Outbreaks During Monsoon Floods" to explore effective strategies for preparedness, response, and resilience building.
