January 2015 floods:
• Most impacted districts
were Nsanje and
Chikwawa
• Affected >600,000 people,
displaced 200,000,
and damaged 35,000 ha of
agricultural crops
• Affected the poorest the
hardest
The benefit of having data and Masdap Platform:
• All data from the flood event was shared on the official Government
GeoNode (e.g.. satellite imagery)
• All data from the flood event was shared on the official Government
