| In Cambodia poor communes in flood and drought prone areas are
being mapped to assist emergency food relief services (11, 12). |
This will contribute to increased food security, particularly
in times of drought or stress. |
Research and training is needed to support further application
of poverty maps to natural disaster planning. |
| The Ministry of Interior Risk and Disaster Management unit of
Madagascar are locating hotspots for risk and disaster management
in Madagascar (1). |
This will influence the allocation of US$3.5 million and targeting
of risk and management, urban water and sanitation, natural resources,
and other projects. |
Madagascar’s poverty map will ultimately be combined with
maps on the extent and frequency of cyclones, floods, droughts,
etc. and vulnerability to natural disasters (e.g., malnutrition). |
