Water Resources and Hydro-climatic service
We provide geospatial tools and data for weather forecasting and water resource monitoring, enabling real-time data collection and analysis for effective flood risk management. The focus is on understanding weather patterns, monitoring climate variability, and assessing the effects of climate change on ecosystems, agriculture, and water resources. Our work supports decision-makers in implementing sustainable development initiatives, disaster risk reduction, and resource management across member States, addressing the increasing challenges posed by changing climate conditions. One of our initiatives under this thematic is supporting Community-Based Flood Early Warning Systems (CBFEWS) in Malawi. By enhancing early warning systems, RCMRD helps local communities and authorities to anticipate and respond to flood events, thereby reducing vulnerabilities and improving disaster preparedness in
flood-prone areas
