Geographic information is important for managing and planning emergency preparedness and response, as well as various other challenges facing societies in southern Africa. The SAHIMS ATLAS offers easily accessible maps, charts and images provided by various United Nations, non-governmental organisations and government bodies. Maps and charts in this catalogue can be accessed freely. Metadata is attached to help the user have a better understanding of data resources, applications and copywrites of these maps, charts and geographic images. |

Project of the Month Atlas for disaster preparedness and response in the Limpopo Basin
The Limpopo Basin is one of the most risk-prone
areas in Mozambique. The Limpopo Basin, the second largest of Mozambique's nine
international river basins, has no major dams to regulate its flows unlike the
country's largest river basin, the Zambezi. Heavy rains in South Africa,
Botswana and Zimbabwe flow directly into the lowlands of Mozambique. The Limpopo
Basin is not just prone to flood hazards. Most of the Basin receives less than
500mm of rainfall each year. Droughts are very common in this region, often
lasting more than a single season. Cyclones are the rarest, but deadliest,
hazard facing the Limpopo Basin. Inland rainfall brought from cyclonic systems
can result in severe flooding within the Basin, as happened in 2000. The impacts
of external shocks are strongly influenced by the capacities of rural households
and communities to anticipate, resist, manage and recover from them. Information
and analysis should be organised now to understand the likely impacts of these
external shocks. Based on interviews with Mozambican and international
decision-makers and their operational staff responding to the Zambezi floods in
2000/2001, critical information was inaccessible, contradictory, or missing.
Users at all levels need accurate and organised information so more informed
preparedness and response planning interventions can take place. The Famine
Early Warning System Network (FEWS NET), Mozambique Integrated Information
Network for Decision-Making (MIND), project was designed to help overcome these
limitations, with an integral focus on developing local capacity. The Atlas was
a collaborative effort between the USAID/FEWS NET MIND activity, the Department
of Geography at the University of Eduardo Mondlane and the National Institute of
Disaster Management. Contact: Michelle McNabb: mmcnabb@fews.net |
