IOM leads the CCCM Cluster in Mozambique, providing coordination and technical guidance to partners for operational planning and supporting INGD in conducting rapid assessments. Mozambique is prone to cyclones and tropical storms which can lead to flash flooding, hundreds of deaths, and massive destruction of property and crops. Disastrous flooding resulted, hundreds of lives were lost and the damage to the infrastructure of the region severely hampered economic and agricultural development.

The situation shows a clear gap in terms of availability of services, both in areas affected by the storms as well as in areas of returns and in temporary accommodation centres, where malaria and acute watery diarrhea (AWD) is being reported. Rapid intensification is more likely with higher sea temperatures and so the fact that this occurred multiple times may have been partly due to climate change. Ahead of the landfall, Mozambique Red Cross Society (CVM) staff and volunteers shared early warning messages to communities in the path of the cyclone to minimize the impact. 0000307597 00000 n 0000301356 00000 n 0000303988 00000 n It was also the first storm in the Southern Hemisphere to undergo four separate rounds of rapid intensification - this is an increase in the maximum sustained winds of a tropical cyclone of at least 30 knots in just 24 hours. 0000315261 00000 n NASA Earth Observatory images by Lauren Dauphin, using Landsat data from the U.S. Geological Survey.
