On the other hand, the northern parts of the region, including Malawi, northern Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, and parts of northern Zimbabwe, have had good accumulations of rainfall, conducive to good crop development and good pasture. However, in some of these areas excess rainfall has been detrimental to crop growth, and has caused widespread flooding in some of the main river basins of the region, particularly the Zambezi river basin.

  • Madagascar: Cyclone Enawo Overview
    Madagascar: Cyclone Enawo Situation Report: No. 1 March 9, 2017 This report is issued by the Bureau National de Gestion des Risque et des Catastrophes (BNGRC) and the Humanitarian Country Team in Madagascar. It covers the period from 7 to 8 March 2017. Cyclone Enawo is wreaking havoc across Madagascar: towns and cities flooded; houses, schools, hospitals and critical infrastructure destroyed; and thousands of people displaced. Power outages are widespread in affected areas. More than 760,000 people in nine regions are expected to be directly affected by the strongest cyclone to strike the island nation in 13 years. Conditions are comparable to Cyclone Gafilo in 2004, which left 250,000 Malagasies displaced and 100,000 homes damaged in its wake. Another recent major tropical storm, Cyclone Ivan, affected more than half a million people and displaced nearly 200,000 in 2008. According to the national meteorological authority, threat levels remain highest (Red Alert) in the following regions: Diana, Sofia, Savan Analanjirofo, Atsinanana, Alaotra Mangoro, Boeny, Betsinoka, and Ny Faritanin’ Antananarivo. Madagascar also suffers from severe and chronic drought, particularly in the south of country. More than 850,000 people are severely food insecure. Overview Intense Tropical Cyclone Enawo struck northeastern Madagascar on the morning of March 7, travelling at two to three hundred kilometers per hour. On March 8, Enawo weakened from an “intense” to a “moderate” tropical storm, with an average speed of 80km/hour with peaks of 112km/hour. As Enawo moves further inland, the Government’s disaster management agency (BNGRC), the United Nations and NGOs are evacuating affected populations, passing on life-saving information to affected communities and responding to growing humanitarian needs.

  • Floods in the Northern Part of the Country and Drought in the South Resulted in Nearly 500,000 People in Need of Assistance
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HUMANITARIAN / RESIDENT COORDINATOR ON THE USE OF CERF GRANTS Country Madagascar Humanitarian / Resident Coordinator Mr. Xavier Leus Reporting Period 1 January 2007- 12 August 2007 I. Executive Summary On the 20 February 2007, the Malagasy Government declared a national state of emergency in Madagascar after a succession of particularly severe storms – including Bondo, Clovis, Favio and Gamede – had battered the island since December. By the end of March, the combined effects of extensive floods in the northern part of the country and drought in the south resulted in nearly 500,000 people in need of assistance. Against this backdrop, a new cyclone, Indlala, struck the north-eastern coast of Madagascar on 15th March, with winds of more than 230 km/h. Even after moving inland, it still registered gusts up to 125 km/h. The storm also continued to unleash torrential rains. Floods washed away villages in the northeast of the country, silted paddy fields and other large agricultural areas, damaged road infrastructure, washed away bridges and made it impossible to reach a number of remote villages where communities remained in dire need of immediate relief aid. These conditions contributed to extensive flooding in heavily populated and cultivated areas throughout the country, including the capital region, the northwest, the northeast, and the southeast. The food security situation deteriorated dramatically, and the risk of maternal and child mortality linked to lack of access to services, and water- and vector-borne diseases, increased. The situation threatened to deteriorate further were timely assistance not provided to address immediate needs and restore agricultural production and livelihoods before the next cyclone season.

  • Madagascar: Tropical Cyclones
    DREF n° MDRMG004 Madagascar: GLIDE n° TC-2009-000019-MDG TC-2009-000026-MDG 6 February 2009 Tropical cyclones The International Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of national societies to respond to disasters. CHF 244,043 (USD 208,782 or EUR 162,122) has been allocated from the Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the National Society in delivering immediate assistance to some 5,000 families. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: Two tropical events hit Madagascar in succession between 18 and 24 January 2009. These caused extensive damage and flooding in three regions across the island, affecting more than 50,000 people and leaving more than 4,000 people homeless. Immediately after the cyclone political unrest occurred in the county. The unrest has resulted in injuries and extensive damage to property, and created further challenges to the ability of humanitarian agencies to mobilize an Satellite image of Tropical Storm Eric (east of effective response to the areas affected by Island) and Tropical Cyclone Fanale (West of the cyclones, leaving tens of thousands of Island) on 19th January 2009: people without assistance The Madagascar Red Cross Society (MRCS) has mobilized volunteers in all affected areas to distribute basic relief items and manage camps for the displaced.
