Flood-Risk Mapping and Early Warning System

The objective of the project is to enhance the Eastern Nile Flood Forecasting and Early Warning (EN-FFEWS) and Flood Risk Mapping. This will be achieved by:
Collecting Terrain Datasets of Flood Prone Areas.
Compiling Historical Hydro-Meteorological Datasets and
Determining Key Characteristics of Flood Prone Communities.

To contribute to the improvement of the Eastern Nile Flood Risk Mitigation (EN-FRM) Project the following outputs are planned:
An enhanced EN FFEWS, so that reliable flood forecasts and early warnings for the EN region become available to member countries.
Flood maps with flood hazards and risks for key flood prone areas in the EN region, so that flood protection measures and flood response preparedness actions can be planned adequately and
Enhanced forecasting capacity for better management of dam operation and water resources planning.
