1 GIS in Disaster Risk Management in Mozambique 1

2 Contents 1. Disasters in Mozambique 2. Role of GIS 3. Some Examples 4. CIG Profile 2

3 1. Disasters in Mozambique Frequent disasters are: Droughts Floods (+ cyclones) Epidemics (Malaria, HIV-AIDS, Cholera) Pests Uncontrolled Fire and others Climate controlled, El Nino/La Nina, Southeastern Atmospheric Oscillation 3

4 1.1 Disaster Risk The risk is high, because of the Geographic Location of Mozambique Land border: 4,330 km Coastline: 2,470 km Area: 781,329 sqkm 4

5 1.2 Floods and Droughts 5

6 2. Role of GIS Requested in all phases of disaster risk management Required for: Purpose of visualization Planning and operation of relief action Spatial analysis for evaluations of impacts Prevention (avoid public infrastructure in disasterprone zones) Mitigation and emergency planning (safe areas, escape routes) Early warning and monitoring 6

7 3.1 Disaster - Relief Capturing Waypoints Production of maps 7

8 3.2 Impact Assessments Documentation Priority setting 8

9 3.3 Improving the Spatial Database Mapping surveys to improve spatial database at larger scales level, e.g. communities, suburbs Compilation of databases 9

10 3.4 Combat of Epidemics Enabling interventions on the spot e.g. Cholera cases of the City of Beira 10

11 3.5 Risk Mapping Mapping Hazard Areas of Communities Training community members in the user of these maps for disaster prevention and infrastructure planning 11

12 3.6 Flood Early Warning Calibration of a hydrological model of the Buzi River Technical Assistance in the setting up of a community-based Flood Early Warning System 12

13 3.7 Fire Monitoring Uncontrolled fire especially in national parks Fire propagation e.g. Gorongosa National Park in Central Mozambique, ASTER Satellite image of 2 Oct
