IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Disaster Response Data to Assist Mapping Flood Affected Areas in Mozambique
 

In response to the severe flooding in Mozambique, SAHIMS has published various data available from our partner organizations. In support to disaster response SAHIMS datasets are accessible to all humanitarian partners in order to enhance effective planning and monitoring.

The datasets regarding accommodation centres was collected in the field by OCHA, in partnership with the INGC. Complimentary baseline data was provided by Mozambique WFP Mapping Unit, an initiative of UN OCHA and WFP in Mozambique. The data is downloadable in shapefile format.
