Economic vulnerability and disaster risk assessment in Malawi and Mozambique
Measuring economic risks of droughts and floods:
This study is intended to assist the Governments of Malawi and Mozambique in determining the extent of their economic vulnerability to climate variability and in assessing the systematic economic risks associated with droughts and floods. The results of the study create a compelling argument for incorporating disaster risk reduction into national economic planning and development strategies. The study also quantifies the depth and extent of hazard, vulnerability, and disaster loss associated with floods and droughts through detailed spatial risk profiling for both countries; and includes drought and flood risk maps for Malawi and Mozambique for stakeholders and decision makers involved in disaster preparedness and response.
