Disaster risk assessment in Mozambique: a comprehensive country situation analysis
This report was commissioned to examine the status, issues and challenges, strengths and weaknesses of disaster risk assessment (DRA) in Mozambique and to recommend ways of implementing a national risk assessment (NRA) (scope, governance, etc). The approach was of implementing a Systematic Inventory and Evaluation of Risk Assessments, after UNDP/ BCPR/GRIP (2010).
The analysis draws attention to the fact that risk is differently conceptualized, and the reference concept of this report is that by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) (2009). Various projects under the umbrella of DRA have brought products (reports, maps and the like) of great value rather for emergency preparedness and disaster response, while purposes and objectives of risk assessment (evaluation of the probabilities of alternative consequences, i.e., potential losses, of different management actions within the geographic area that is subjected to extreme natural events – hazards) remain in need of better coverage.
