Flood in Mozambique (2023-02-11)

Collection: CEMS-RM : CEMS Rapid Mapping 

Description


Activation time (UTC): 2023-02-11 16:34:00
Event time (UTC): 2023-02-09 00:00:00
Event type: Flood (Flash flood)

Activation reason:
In the past two weeks extreme rainfall in some areas of Mozambique and in neighboring countries have raised a red alert for flash and persistent floods in the country. The situation is particularly concerning in Maputo province because South Africa and Eswatini have been also experiencing extreme rains and their rivers are carrying out large discharges. Incomati, Corrumana and Pequenos Libombos dams are saturated and they will discharge water for the next 3 to 5 days. The effect of the discharge is causing floods in Boane and Moamba and in the next 24 to 48hrs also in Magude and Manhiça. Having a detailed map of flood affected areas in the province of Maputo is very important to guide search and rescue operation and other emergency response activities.
