Context
On December 14, 2024, the intense tropical cyclone Chido crossed Mayotte, causing human and material losses not seen for nearly a century, while the territory was already facing numerous structural challenges (insufficient healthcare provision, limited access to water, education system under pressure, precarious housing, insecurity, etc.). The French Red Cross (CRF), present on the ground through its Territorial Delegation which carries out associative activities, in particular first aid and the Territorial Directorate which manages medico-social establishments, was strongly mobilized to urgently assist the disaster-stricken populations. In conjunction with the prefecture and partners on the ground, the CRF provided medical and psychological care, distributed basic necessities, facilitated the restoration of family ties, treated and distributed drinking water, etc. No fewer than 450 volunteers were deployed to reinforce local teams, while 140 tonnes of equipment were sent from Reunion Island.
With its long-standing presence in the region and its regional expertise through the PIROI Center, the French Red Cross now wishes to implement a disaster risk management (DRM) project, with the emergency phase now over.
