Mozambique 2015: Damage Assessment and Early Recovery / Sustainable Reconstruction Priorities Joint Rapid Assessment following the January-February 2015 Hydro-Meteorological Events in the Central and Northern Regions Fig. 1. (cover page) Detected flood area during the flooding event – in light pink – and within the January 28 - February 10 period – in red (processed by WFP from MODIS and ESA Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 data) ; Pictures from IFRC (damaged houses), UN-Habitat (bridge) and EDM (electricity tower) Following a mission carried out from March 3-13, the Government of Mozambique, with support from its partners, developed this rapid assessment (later referred to as “the Assessment”) with three chapters: 1. « Event Characterization and Underlying Risk Factors »; 2. « Environmental, Social and Economic Impacts: Damages and Preliminary Loss Estimates »; and 3. « Early Recovery and Resilient Reconstruction Framework ». A total of 18 working groups, listed on pages 2 to 5 of the Executive Summary, contributed to the development of this report.

Some maps have been reproduced from previous publications and referred to in the last section of the report. Maps have been produced for the report from datasets provided by the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC), the Eduardo Mondlane University, the Road National Administration (ANE), and from the location of damages by the working groups. Boundaries, colors, denominations and any other information shown on the maps reproduced in this report do not imply any judgment on the legal status of any territory, or any endorsement or acceptance of such boundaries. The rapid assessment has been coordinated by the Government of Mozambique through the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC). The report was prepared by the World Bank Group in coordination with line ministries, United Nations agencies in the country, and funded by the European Union through the ACP-UE Natural Disaster Risk Reduction Program (ACP-EU NDRR), an initiative of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group (ACP), funded by the European Union and managed by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR).
