Description
Mozambique is particularly vulnerable to flooding due to its geographic location and climate patterns. A multi-disciplinary approach was employed, integrating hydrological modelling with socio-economic data to identify areas most at risk and propose sustainable solutions. Analysis revealed a significant spatial pattern where over 70% of flood-prone zones are concentrated in the central coastal regions, necessitating targeted infrastructure development strategies. The findings underscored the critical role of climate-resilient design in mitigating flood risks and improving community resilience in Mozambique. Immediate investment in early warning systems combined with robust drainage networks is recommended for enhancing flood management effectiveness in identified high-risk areas.
