1.1 The SIERA Project

The “Disaster Risk Assessments in Mozambique: A Comprehensive Analysis of Country Situation – Main Report” (this document) presents the data and information catalogue on DRA in Mozambique that was produced under the SIERA (Systematic Inventory and Evaluation of Risk Assessments) Project.

1.2 Purposes and objectives

The purposes ad objectives of SIERA were:

 To undertand current situation of disaster risk assessment and management in

Mozambique

 To identify and evaluate what is already done to avoid duplication of efforts and to build

on what already exists.

 To identify risk information needs and requirements, and

 To document standards and methodologies for risk assessments of relevant hazard.

1.3 Expected outputs

This is a odelling y draft and consists of data and information on:

 Risk assessment studies/ projects;

 Publications, reports, and risk-related maps;

 Data sources (carriers)

 Intermediate, basic data, and base maps

 Methodologies, tools, and guidelines

 Organizations and institutions

 Needs and requirements for risk information

 Disaster (risk) management practices

The Report also contains evaluations of:

 Risk assessment studies;

 Intermediate and basic data;

 Institutional capabilities;

 Professional expertise and skills;

An overall evaluation of the country situation is also provided. This report is being improved and validated.

1.4 Methodology and tools

The catalogue was produced using the methodology and tools by GRIP and BCPR/UNDP (2010) for the Systematic Inventory and Evaluation of Risk Assessments.

The methodology and tools use seven categories and a range of variables (See UNDP/BCPR 2010).

Adaptations were made, where it was deemed necessary. Essentially, the SIERA is a four-step process of work (Figure 2).

The various projects under the umbrella of Risk Assessment have brought products (reports, maps and the like) of great value rather for emergency preparedness and disaster response, while purposes and objectives of risk assessment (see section 2.5) remain poorly covered. Risk Assessment has been seen as a one time project.

(12)

Purposes and objectives

The key objectives of this project include:

Documented parameters, data and information concerning the Vulnerability levels of the Limpopo River Basin for both the natural and human dimensions

Adaptation/ mitigation strategies in response to observed or projected climatic/hydrological (flood and to a lesser extent drought events) and anthropogenic stresses over the basin systems are formulated

A methodological approach to assess vulnerability levels and formulation of adaptation/mitigation strategies making use of remote sensing and GIS technologies as a decision support tool is developed

Local capacity and awareness raised on the importance of remote sensing and GIS technologies for integrated river basin management

Key components and activities

On-line portal for integrating and analyzing geospatial data will be used for the development of a decision support system.

Expected outputs and outcomes

This project will have direct benefits for Southern Africa in the context of sustainable water management through the following results:

Enhanced understanding of vulnerability levels of the Limpopo River Basin for both the natural and human dimensions

Lower/reduced impacts of natural events and anthropogenic activities on basin systems Tools and strategies are available for better vulnerability assessment and decision making Future policies and programmes take into consideration remote sensing and GIS technologies

Vulnerability assessment will aim at providing insights on the extent to which natural and social systems are susceptible to sustaining damage from human or natural induced stimulus, under the three critical dimensions of sustainability: ecosystem, socio-economic, and human-health.

Brief Description

O mais recente fenómeno de cheias de 1999-2000 tem o maior impacto destruidor e súbito, sobretudo nas províncias do sul e centro. As nove bacias hidrográficas dos rios em que ocorreram chuvas intensas estendem-se a montante em áreas geográficas pertencentes a diversos países, designadamente, Botswana, Zimbabwe, África do Sul e Suazilândia, os quais registaram, também, situações de cheias que obrigaram à descarga intempestiva das suas barragens.

Resposta:

O Governo reagiu à catástrofe envolvendo os limitados recursos do serviço nacional de bombeiros, do exército, da força aérea e da marinha, tendo contado igualmente com a intervenção imediata e inestimável de inúmeros países e organizações; o envolvimento da sociedade civil, de diferentes formas, desde a participação individual à de organizações não-governamentais, comunidades religiosas, associações, empresas, quer nacionais que internacionais.

Brief Description

Actualização da Política de Gestão de Calamidades

Necessidade de um novo quadro jurídico e de criar órgãos para melhor reflectir a prontidão e eficácia, prevenir e não somente responder a casos já consumados de calamidades naturais, tendo como base a nossa experiencia interna

acumulada e de outros países. Impõe-se pois, uma mudança de mentalidade de uma atitude reactiva pós-calamidade para uma postura pró-activa antes da sua ocorrência. Isto, passa pela adopção de uma cultura de prevenção que, tendo em mente a natureza diversa dos perigos ou ameaças que enfrentamos nas diferentes regiões do nosso país, potencie uma abordagem multi-sectorial orientada para as comunidades vulneráveis.

A política de gesta de calamidades contém definições ara a compreensão do fenómeno, é constituída por objectivos gerais e específicos, estratégias, planos de acção, bem como normas legais sobre prevenção, formas de complementaridade institucional e dos órgãos intervenientes neste processo, segundo o princípio de protecção de vidas humanas e da economia.

O relatório da avaliação da vulnerabilidade

Descreve o contexto para a avaliação da vulnerabilidade Detalha o esquema conceitual do trabalho realizado Metodologia:

O esquema de análise adoptado na Avaliação da Vulnerabilidade considera que a vulnerabilidade à segurança alimentar e nutricional compreende dois componentes: o risco de um evento que está ocorrendo e a capacidade das famílias para lidarem com o evento.

A Avaliação da Vulnerabilidade visa: (1) Conhecer as condições físicas e económicas que podem influenciar a produção de cereais; (2) Definir a disponibilidade alimentar e o seu acesso; (3) Avaliar a capacidade de recurso interno; (4) Fornecer uma base objectiva e um contexto para a medição e correcta compreensão do impacto dos choques potenciais e uma base de orientação para monitorização da segurança alimentar.

Brief Description

A campanha agrícola 2003/04 foi caracterizada por um regime pluviométrico irregular sobretudo na segunda metade da época chuvosa (Outubro/Dezembro).

A precipitação ocorrida em Março favoreceu as sementeiras de segunda época, nas províncias de Gaza e Niassa, bem como o desenvolvimento das culturas que se encontravam em campo.

No que concerne à situação de pragas e doenças, a zona Norte do país registou pragas de grande porte (macacos e elefantes) e o impacto da podridão radicular da mandioca na zona costeira da província de Nampula foi significativo.

 Esta vulnerabilidade resulta da combinação de condições sociais, económicas, culturais e políticas que

tornam a população susceptível a choques.
