What if resilience to heat, droughts, floods and other climate hazards could come from something as small as a bee?
As traditional farming and livestock keeping are put under pressure, beekeeping is proving to be a practical, nature-based alternative.

📢 Early warnings only work when they are received, understood, & acted upon.

Melting glaciers are a growing disaster risk for mountain communities – and those in the valleys below.
📢 We need urgent action to slow climate-driven glacial melt, and reduce disaster risks.

Following the recent flooding in Lokogoma, Abuja, @GeohazardMaps will undertake a household flood risk assessment in selected flood-prone communities.
We’ll assess household preparedness, access to early warnings, barriers to early action, and community flood risks.

What Actually Triggered the Nepal–Tibet Border Flash Flood?
A massive ice and rock avalanche from a glacier triggered a chain reaction near the Nepal–China border. The avalanche and debris blocked the river, forming a temporary barrier lake. When the blockage gave way, a powerful surge of water, mud and debris rushed downstream, causing devastating flash floods across Gyirong in Tibet and Nepal’s Rasuwa district.
GLACIAL COLLAPSE → DEBRIS BLOCKAGE → TEMPORARY BARRIER LAKE → BREACH → DEVASTATING FLASH FLOOD 🌊🏔️

Deadly flash floods have torn through communities in #Nepal, killing scores and destroying homes, livelihoods and critical infrastructure.
The Government is leading the response, with @UN and partners mobilized.
More support is urgently needed.

When floodwater rises, every second counts. This #WorldHumanitarianDay, see how WMO and @CRDjibouti @ifrc brought together local communities and responders in Djibouti for a flood simulation drill, putting #EarlyWarnings into practice.

Which makes having a city flood risk map become essential. @GeohazardMaps

Day 1 of the Pre-Summit event hosted by the Audi Environmental Foundation. It was exciting to connect with fellow delegate scholars and learn about their diverse projects, which span areas such as circular economy, environmental management, climate tech, and sustainability.#OYW24

Accurate damage reporting is necessary for accessing national and international aid. A detailed analysis of impacts can help Maiduguri to receive the necessary resources for recovery. #AidAllocation #FloodResponse #GlobalSupport #MaiduguriFlood
@GeohazardMaps did for Lagos.

This period shows the importance of the State Emergency Authority having well-coordinated disaster response plans, including evacuation routes, rescue operations, and effective public communication systems to manage dam-related emergencies. #MaiduguriFlood #Floods

Following the recent flood in #lagos (Nigeria) @GeohazardMaps developed an interactive flood impact map, showing the flooded area/extent and it's impact.

@GFDRR Thanks for sharing. This is very detailed and insightful.
@GeohazardMaps also did something similar in Nigeria few months ago. You can check it out.

Can we address the issue of #flood by using Geospatial technology, Earth observation datasets and AI?

Disasters are displacing a record numbers of people, and a significant number of those affected are under the age of 18 🚸
