The goal of this project has been to provide updated Geospatial information about the aftermath of Cyclone Ana through analysis of key infrastructure affected in Chikwawa and Salima districts.
Cyclone Ana left the already vulnerable population to economic, health and sanitation risk to the aftershocks of disasters related to climate change.
Most information generated about the scale of the Cyclone has not been visualized fully using Geospatial data
The information that the government and stakeholders have is mainly focusing on the attribute data leaving out spatial aspect.
In that regard, there was a gap on up to date map data that can be used for decision making.
This project is specifically filling that gap.
The project focuses on two main aspects as follows:
To Generate up to date spatial data about the areas that have been hit hard by Cyclone Ana
To Collect household flood incidents, damaged infrastructure (roads, bridges, schools, health facilities, water and sanitation facilities, land resources, and hydro-generators).
