Abstract

The deadliest tropical cyclone in 2019 was the Intense Tropical Cyclone Idai in the South-West Indian Ocean, which killed over 1,303 people in Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Madagascar. In this study, the impacts of cyclone Idai on the Mozambican Hydrographic Services is presented. The study has identified the need to settle an appropriate Disaster Risk and Management System in National Hydrographic Services, as well as, the need to strengthen the capacity of the National Hydrographic Services to respond to natural disasters and develop standard operating procedures where the support from international community may be of paramount importance.
