SCHOOL RISK ASSESSMENT
The present study has the goal of estimating the approximate potential risk of Schools infrastructures in Mozambique due to natural hazards events, namely Cyclones, Earthquakes, Floods and Droughts through spatial representations. Overall, this risk assessment will contribute for the consolidation of a common understanding among stakeholders involved with the construction of classrooms of the problem of school vulnerability in Mozambique and shed light to the need to act to reduce risks by improving the quality of buildings. The study was developed within the framework of the of the Safer Schools Project: Developing Guidelines on School Safety and Resilient School Building Code in Mozambique, implemented by the United National Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) in partnership with the Faculty of Architecture and Physical Planning of the Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM-FAPF) and the financial support of the World Bank.
