Coordinateur.trice de programmes PIROI Mayotte At Croix-Rouge Française

Context :

Mayotte concentrates strong vulnerabilities to natural risks. Over the past thirty years, six major events have suffered several thousand people and increased significant material losses: destruction of homes and public infrastructure, degradation of communication routes, interruption of transport, agricultural losses, etc.

Cyclones, floods and landslides suffered in 90% of cases in inhabited areas and constitute the main natural risks faced by the 212,000 inhabitants of Mayotte.

Even if disaster prevention and preparedness measures already exist in Mayotte, they deserve to be strengthened in order to increase the resilience of the Mayotte population. Indeed, the preliminary assessments imposed by the French Red Cross have shown that:

Risk awareness is relatively low in Mayotte
The geographical remoteness of Mayotte, like all overseas departments, makes it more difficult to intervene in the event of a disaster. Hence the need for adequate preparation.
The frequency and intensity of natural hazards that threaten the archipelago justify a strong need for disaster preparedness

As far as the Union of the Comoros is concerned, the country’s already very strong economic and social precariousness is reinforced by the threat of the risk of significant natural disasters. The presence of an active volcano (Karthala) on the island of Grande Comore can produce lava flows, gas fumes or ash clouds. In addition, the hydro-meteorological risks that affect the 3 islands of the country, the threats of floods, landslides, rising tides or even storms/cyclones. In less than ten years, the Union of the Comoros has been affected by 15 natural disasters.

In addition, the Comoros archipelago has been included by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the list of territories that will be most threatened by the consequences of global warming, the situation is therefore likely to deteriorate. ‘aggressor. The dangerousness of climatic events is not only due to an increase in the intensity of natural hazards, but also to the appearance of factors of anthropogenic origin: deforestation, construction in risk areas, degradation of natural infrastructure, etc. of human and material response resources, ignorance of emergency plans when they exist or the malfunctioning of emergency sectors are all

It is therefore necessary to contribute to reducing the risks of disasters in Mayotte and in the Union of the Comoros, through an integrated approach (taking into account other vulnerability indicators than the intensity of the hazards) and inter-islands. The French Red Cross (CRF), through its Indian Ocean Regional Intervention Platform (PIROI), and its partner the Comorian Red Crescent (CRCo) have set themselves the main objective of “strengthening the resilience populations and the preparedness capacities of disaster risk management actors in a context of climate change in Mayotte and the Union of the Comoros”.
