  Author(s): Javed Khan*
  
  A simplified impact assessment of tropical cyclones on coastal habitats, particularly in the Mozambique Channel, still lacks sufficient information. We modelled the extent of flooding and its impact following the "severe tropical storm" Ana, which passed over the Mozambique Channel from January 20 to January 25, using data from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 and socio-ecological parameters like mangrove forest health and population density. We adapted a model from the United Nations Platform for Space-Based Information for Disaster Management and Emergency Response (UN-SPIDER) to effectively assess storm impacts at a resolution of up to 10 meters, focusing on areas affected by Ana, the Sofala, Zambezia and Boeny, Melaky, provinces in Mozambique and Madagascar, respectively. Our findings revealed that more than 195,977 people have the potential to be affect.. Read More»
