The Prime Minister’s Office in Dar es Salaam, in partnership with OpenMap Development Tanzania, has reviewed and updated disaster preparedness plans for five wards identified as highly susceptible to flooding. This effort aims to bolster urban resilience against flood disasters. The 'Ramani Zetu Sauti Zetu' project focused on Makurumula, Mabibo, Keko, Ubungo, and Tabata wards, which frequently experience flooding during heavy rains. The review process involved local leaders, disaster management committees, experts, and coordinators, utilizing participatory mapping and community data. The goal is to ensure plans are practical and enhance emergency response coordination. The project, supported by the Zayed Sustainability Prize, seeks to strengthen community resilience through technology and early warning systems.
This initiative matters because it directly addresses the recurring threat of urban flooding in Dar es Salaam, aiming to protect lives, property, and economic activity.
