3. Cyclone Favio (2007): Preparedness, Impact and Response

February de 2007- Cyclone Favio hit Vilankulos: winds speed up to 200 km/hr. It was the 3rd Cyclones in 7 years (2000 Eline, 2004 Japhet, 2007 Favio). It provoked Massive destruction of housing and public infrastructure.

The Emergency preparedness and response through The National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) prioritized rural areas and not urban areas;

Early warning system at national level came too late. The City council took the lead through the radios, sms message and community mobilization.

1. Town Planning: Hazards mitigation measures: preventive land use (e.g coastal erosion control at the waterfront in Vilankulos project)

2. Adaptive Architecture on Housing and Public Infrastructure

3. Mapping and Participatory Risk Analyses

4. Early warning system and citizen and community mobilization (Didactic

material – workshop with academia)

5. To strengthen Institutional links between National Disaster Management

Institute and the Municipality

4. How to reduce and mitigate the impact of cyclones in urban areas? .


After the cyclone hit Vilankulos (Feb 2007), the City Council in partnership with UN-Habitat, elaborated and published "Building with the winds”, a didactic guide to support the building back better housing construction in affected areas through local capacity buildings;

September 2007 – The City council initiated the process to design innovative resistant roof housing; through community participation and vulnerability housing assessments in the field;

Laboratory of disaster resistant houses: implementation trough on-the-job training Construction house models with support from the DIPECHO Project (DG-ECHO)

Cyclones Vilankulo Municipality Inhambane Province

• 10 houses built on Ferro-cement vaults channels, prefabricated on site with local community

• More than 10 trainings delivered to master builders, local technicians and architecture students from UEM University

• Municipal houses also serve as a safe haven in case of cyclones

• Laboratory for adaptive solution

• 2008-2010; through joint DRR UN Programme & DIPECHO

Nursery schoolconcrete vaults roof


• Municipal nursery school can protect 500 people during cyclone events

• 220 m2 school facilities; schools rooms, offices, bathrooms, Kitchen and refectory.

• Reusable metal formwork is used for the Municipality to replicate the roof solution

• This project was initiated by the Municipality and funded by Associação Moçambique-Alemanha in 2010 with the technical assistance of UN-HABITAT

In this example the wind-resistant Dome House

• Dome house 36 m2

• Easy to built and low cost construction system

• Built with stabilized compressed bricks system

Improved construction measures using local material

Some final messages from our experience:

To find solutions at city local level: Don’t wait for central level support !

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) must be integrated in the sectors and municipal development plans

Our entry point to prepare the city: Risk Mapping, Physical Planning and adapted infra-structure and housing;

To promote safe cities between other municipalities in Mozambique

To invite the private sector to participate and include DRR approaches in its investments


• An innovative Technical Centre that will provide disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation (CCA) and urban resilience technical assistance and knowledge to address the needs of its Founder Member States (Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique and the Union of Comoros)

• Capacities will be developed through six main activities: (1) Training, (2) Technical Assistance, (3) Awareness raising, (4) Compilation and sharing of good practices, (5) Exchange of experiences, (6) Identification of small-scale pilot solutions


For a Better Urban Life we Need a Strong Leadership!
