Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD) is emphasizing anticipation as a core element in effective disaster management. This focus comes as the country frequently faces climate-related hazards, including cyclones, floods, and droughts. The INGD is strengthening early warning systems to provide communities with timely information, allowing for preventative measures. These measures aim to reduce the impact of disasters and protect vulnerable populations. Enhanced preparedness includes community engagement and capacity building, ensuring residents understand risks and know how to respond. The institute acknowledges that proactive planning and swift response are crucial to mitigating the increasing challenges posed by climate change in Mozambique. Ultimately, the INGD’s approach aims to shift from reactive response to proactive risk reduction.
