Mozambique Flood Impact Assessment for March 2025

Mozambique experienced a flood event on March 18, 2025. The dataset, produced by the World Food Programme's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system, provides geospatial analysis estimating the event affected approximately 566,438 people and 62,684 hectares of cropland. It was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood-affected areas based on geospatial analysis from the ADAM system.
• Estimating population displacement for humanitarian aid planning based on the reported affected population.
• Assessing agricultural damage and food security implications based on the reported cropland area affected.
• Conducting temporal analysis of flood events in the region using the specific event date.

Strengths

• Provides specific impact estimates for a defined event: 566,438 people and 62,684 hectares of cropland affected.
• Originates from an authoritative operational system (WFP ADAM) designed for humanitarian emergency analysis.
• Data is georeferenced, as indicated by the GEOTIFF file format.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's spatial resolution and specific analysis methodology are not detailed in the provided metadata.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analytical methods.
