4. Challenge
Local communities vulnerable to floods experience both primary and secondary
effects such as death and spread of diseases. with lack of enough data for
disaster management stakeholders, Preparedness, Response, Recovery,
Planning and Mitigation is still a challenge during floods.

22. Presented challenge
In developing countries, Lack of effective disaster response
capabilities to floods events is linked to outdated maps and
insufficient data that address risks and vulnerability challenges
in local communities.
In this context people at risk, rescue teams as well as
other stakeholders have little or no understanding on
evacuation routes and safe areas before and during
flood events
