Mozambique Prepares for Severe Tropical Cyclone: Anticipatory Measures Activated
Mozambique is preparing for a Severe Tropical Cyclone expected to land in Nampula province on March 9, 2025. The Central Emergency Response Fund has launched anticipatory actions as the region faces ongoing challenges from previous cyclones that have already affected over 455,000 residents.
Mozambique is bracing for a new weather system, expected to develop into a Severe Tropical Cyclone, impacting primarily the Nampula province on March 9, 2025. This system is forecasted to make landfall with the intensity of a severe tropical storm before evolving into a tropical cyclone. The Central Emergency Response Fund has activated the Anticipatory Action (AA) Framework for Cyclones, providing critical resources for humanitarian partners to prepare ahead of the storm’s impact.
The imminent weather system is raising concerns for the already affected Nampula province, which recently endured severe cyclones that impacted over 455,000 individuals. As Mozambique prepares for the potential effects of this upcoming cyclone, the urgent activation of anticipatory measures is crucial to mitigate further humanitarian crises, especially in light of the ongoing cholera outbreak.
