Given flooded roads, the air support was crucial but not nearly enough to distribute food and find stranded people across such a wide area of impact. The Mozambique National Institute for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction (INGD) and World Food Programme (WFP) built the case for drones’ capacity to give all responders an accurate picture of cyclone damage and flooding extent.
