Resilience and Climate Adaptation
Welcome to the Public Policy Hub of the REPRESA Madagascar Project. Our mission is to strengthen communities through concrete information and strategies to mitigate the impacts of cyclones, floods, and climate-related disruptions. This portal provides policymakers, stakeholders, and communities with evidence-based guidelines to build resilience across all sectors.
Early Warning Systems
Early warning systems save lives. REPRESA focuses on robust, community-centered systems for cyclones and floods:
- Monitoring of cyclone tracks and flood-prone areas.
- Assessment and strengthening of community warning networks.
- Data-driven decisions to support rapid evacuations and effective disaster response.
Reduced mortality, faster emergency response, and strengthened local preparedness.
