Disaster risk profile : Mauritius

This Southwest Indian Ocean Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative (SWIO RAFI) seeks to provide a solid basis for the future implementation of disaster risk financing through the improved understanding of disaster risk to participating island nations. The SWIO RAFI included the collection of existing hazard and exposure data, and the creation of new hazard and exposure data, that were used in the development of risk assessment and risk profiles for The Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Zanzibar. In addition to the information in the risk profiles, the hazard and exposure data and the results of risk analysis will be collated and stored on open data geospatial risk information platforms, or GeoNodes, in each country and will be available to a wide range of end-users. The results will be available in the form of geospatial files, text files, and detailed final reports and can be used for sector specific development planning and implementation.
