An innovative drone-driven initiative was launched to strengthen disaster preparedness in Mozambique, a country frequently hit by floods, mudslides, cyclones, and other weather-related crises. It’s a joint initiative by the African Development Bank, the government of Mozambique, and Korea’s government agency Busan Technopark.
The Drone-Based Disaster Management Project will establish a drone training center in Mozambique to train 30 professionals, including 10 instructors. It will also implement a drone-based monitoring and response system across five high-risk flood zones. It is expected to enhance real-time disaster monitoring, early warning systems, and predictive flood modeling, helping Mozambique better anticipate and mitigate climate-related disasters.
