- Zeros are present where river flood risk does not intersect
with population or there is no river flood risk
- Potential river flood extents are obtained from GloFAS. These extents only model the potential flooding
from rivers and wadis and do not consider the risk of flash (pluvial) flooding.
- The sub-district map on the lefthand side of the screen provides the aggregate exposure of the local population to river
flooding. River flood exposure is calculated by multiplying categorized projected flood depths by the total population, per-pixel.
These values are then aggregated to the sub-district level. The 2025 Global Human Settlement Population estimates were used to
measure population at the pixel level.
- By clicking on one sub-district of interest and then clicking “Fetch”, another interactive map will appear
to the right of the sub-district map. This map includes multiple layers that allow a more
detailed exploration of river flood exposure for the selected sub-district. The layers available
for selection become visible when clicking layers icon on the top-left of this map. The communities and IDP
camps exposed to the selected extent of river flooding in this sub-district are found in the table below.
- This module is designed to complement MEACAM flood predictions by providing
immediate information on regional river flood exposure levels and the ability to
identify communities most exposed to river flooding within an area of interest.
Welcome to MEACAM agricultural drought prediction module!
Agricultural drought is defined if a significant (>20%) decline in the vegetation health of
cropland is consistently predicted over the time window. On the map, the colored hexagons represent
areas where agricultural drought is predicted to occur. The location, population, and hectares of
cropland exposed to the predicted agricultural drought is found in the table below.
