Multi-hazard mapping and national Digital Land Model (DLM)
A feasibility study is currently underway with the consulting firm Haskoning, commissioned by the PRRC project and the Post-Kenneth project, to develop a national multi-hazard mapping system and design a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) aimed at strengthening analytical and planning capacities for climate and natural risk management.
The implementation of a nationwide multi-hazard map, combined with a high-resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM), represents a strategic and essential tool to enhance the operational and analytical capabilities of institutions responsible for managing climate and natural risks in the Comoros.
For the General Directorate of Civil Security (DGSC) – and particularly the Information Analysis and Processing Center (CATI):
- Precise identification of high-risk areas (landslides, floods, coastal inundations, etc.), enabling better planning of emergency interventions
- Support for rapid decision-making during crises, thanks to reliable, up-to-date geospatial data presented through interactive maps
- Strengthening inter-institutional coordination through a shared data reference framework
- Effective targeting of awareness campaigns and simulation exercises in vulnerable zones
- Support for contingency planning and the development of risk reduction strategies
For the Technical Directorate of Meteorology (DTM):
- Improved hydrometeorological modeling through a precise DTM, allowing for more accurate simulations of water flow, runoff, and flooding
- Enhanced early warning systems, with better anticipation of impacts based on topography and local vulnerability
- Production of more targeted weather alerts, integrating risk zones identified by the multi-hazard mapping
- Support for climate research and environmental monitoring, particularly in the context of climate change
