VULNÉRABILITY IN COMOROS

Based essentielly on:

  • Lack of Knowledge;

‐ Delicate economy; ‐ Preventive measurment on risk are not realy integrated in decision maker;

slide-19
SLIDE 19

PHYSICAL VULNERABILITY

Insular context : ‐ Islands serounding by water;

  • ‐ Strong exposition to the météorological hazardousness
  • ‐ Tropical perturbation;

Geographic context

  • Relief : mountainous – coastwise plain;
  • Population mainly concentrated on the coast areas;
  • • Absence of permanent watercourses on Grande
  • Comore island;
  • Volcanic island : working volcano, KARTHALA on the island of

Grande Comoros ( The one that has the bigest carter in the word).

SLIDE 20

HUMAN VULNERABILITY

Density and concentration of the population

  • – IN GRANDE COMORE ISLAND :
  • 360 hab/km² ;
  • Great concentration of population in Moroni and adjacents towns ;
  • – IN ANJOUAN ISLAND:
  • Implantation of villages on the hills;

MATERIAL VULNERABILITY

  • roads :

Roads grid deteriorated;

Not much disengagement routes;

SOCIO‐ECONOMIC VULNERABILITY

  • Port infrastructures :
  • – Each island has a port;
  • – The International one is located in Anjouan island.
  • Airoports infrastructures :
  • – Each island has an airport;

  • Terrestrial transport mediums:
  • – Individual transport : few homes have a personal vehicle (5 %
  • n average in the archipelago)
  • – Public transport : taxis and bus.
slide-23
SLIDE 23

ENVIRONMENTAL VULNERABILITY

  • Natural spaces protected :
  • – Grande Comoros Island: Forest of Karthala,

ecological niche of coelacanthe;

  • – Anjouan Island: Mount Tringui, peninsula of

Bimbini, lake of Dzialandzé;

  • – Mohéli : Marine park and Boudouni lake.
  • Weak ecosystèms : mangroves and coral reefs

ON GOING

  • National data base;
  • Cartographic of the vulnerable areas;
  • Disposition taken to react in real time;
  • Sensibilsation and motivation of the

population;

  • Training for prevention goal;
  • Bring every body togather includ the

administration institutions.

  • f risk management and disaster through

training, equipment and simulation exercises.
