Drones and Data for Flood Management in Africa

Name: Minds On Design Lab
Price range: $

April 9th, 2025

We are excited to share our latest resource, Drones & Data for Flood Management in Africa, which showcases the innovative use of drones, data, and AI in flood management across Sub-Saharan Africa. This comprehensive document highlights how the Flying Labs Network is revolutionizing disaster risk management through locally led initiatives. From the sacred city of Touba in Senegal to the informal settlements of Johannesburg, the resource presents real-world applications of drone technology in flood mitigation, preparedness, and response.

This resource, compiled in collaboration with local experts in Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and Tanzania, not only demonstrates the power of cutting-edge technology but also emphasizes the importance of community engagement and local expertise in addressing flood-related challenges. By featuring projects that combine high-resolution drone imagery, advanced data analysis, and community-driven approaches, this resource provides valuable insights for disaster management professionals, policymakers, and community leaders alike. It is also a fitting example of the resources we will host on the Drones, Data, and AI Solutions Platform for Climate and Disaster Resilience, under the replicable use cases.
