About the campaign
The need
Sofala is hit by floods and cyclones every year, but many communities have no information on the risks in their neighbourhood and no plans to move families out in time. When an emergency strikes, help takes too long to find those most in need.
What we will do
With community leaders, local risk management committees and the authorities, we map the most exposed areas, register the most vulnerable families and prepare community warning and evacuation plans.
Sofala is one of the Mozambican provinces hit hardest by floods, cyclones and droughts. Knowing where the most exposed families live is the first step to protecting them.
Through the mapping of vulnerable areas, ANANDJIRA works with community leaders, local committees and authorities to identify the risks in each neighbourhood and prepare a faster emergency response.
“Every hour gained in a warning saves lives: the map shows where to go first.”

Frequently asked questions
01What is the map for?
To know, before an emergency, where the most exposed families live and how to reach them, and to guide the response afterwards.
02Are the families' details made public?
No: public maps show areas, not people. Families' details stay with ANANDJIRA and the relevant authorities.
03Who takes part?
Community leaders, local risk management committees, activists trained by ANANDJIRA and the district authorities.
