El Niño can change rainfall patterns and, in some situations, bring heavier rains that increase the risk of flooding and waterlogging in Mogadishu.
Being prepared early can make a big difference. By identifying areas where water is likely to collect, improving drainage, strengthening early-warning systems, and planning ahead, Mogadishu can better manage the risks associated with heavy rainfall.
GIS and satellite imagery can help us understand where these risks are greatest and support better decisions for a safer and more climate-resilient city.
The better we prepare today, the better we can protect Mogadishu tomorrow.
