Zim adjudged as flood prone

ZIMBABWE has been added to Google’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Flood Hub platform which provides early warnings to people living in regions exposed to risk of floods.

This comes at a time when natural disasters like flooding are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change.

It is estimated that flooding affects more than 250 million people globally each year and causes around US$10 billion in economic damage.
