"The Cyclone Idai has had a devastating three-fold impact since early March. The weather system brought heavy rains and floods to Tete and Zambezia provinces in early March, affecting at least 141,000 people, with 202 deaths recorded and 111 people injured.

When Cyclone IDAI made landfall on 14 March, it brought devastation and destruction to the port city of Beira – home to more than 500,000 people – and surrounding areas. Following landfall, it has continued to bring heavy rains. Flood waters are rising and the Pungoe and Buzi rivers have burst their banks."

CityRAP: a tool for resilient communities in Africa

http://dimsur.org/tools-2/the-cityrap-tool-movie/

The CityRAP Tool is a tool used for training city managers and municipal technicians in small to intermediate sized cities in sub-Saharan Africa. CityRAP Tool enables communities to understand and plan actions aimed at reducing risk and building resilience through the development of a Resilience Framework for Action, that is why it is designed as an enabling rather than prescriptive tool, as core principle is fostering ownership by local government and communities.

CityRAP Tool’s process includes a set of trainings, exercises and activities directed at municipalities that want to kick-start their resilience action planning. It puts local governments and urban stakeholders in the driver’s seat of urban resilience planning to ensure capacity retention and use. The tool’s design enables local governments to adapt and implement it with minimal external intervention. It draws on participatory methods – such as local government self-assessments, participatory risk mapping exercises and cross-sectorial action planning – to leverage local knowledge for understanding and planning resilience. It was developed by UN-Habitat and DiMSUR.
