People in Nairobi have been asked to leave their homes near a six-storey building that collapsed in heavy rain, killing at least 12 people.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta visited the disaster site and said the building's owners should be arrested.
A baby was among 134 people pulled from the rubble and rescuers are searching for more people who may be trapped.
The buildings to be evacuated house 1,000 people and are built next to a river bank.
The Red Cross criticised "chaotic scenes" as rescuers arrived after the Friday night collapse. Nairobi's police chief has said rescue teams were delayed on their way to the scene by hours-long traffic jams caused by flooded roads.
