Kenya floods: rapid needs assessment
In 2024, after several years of extreme drought in Kenya, the country experienced heavy rains due to the El Niño phenomenon, resulting in extreme floods.
Several days after the floods, the ERT arrived to support several organizations that were supporting local communities, collecting needs from the ground.
With ERT’s digital aid, our partners conducted over 350 assessments, capturing data on over 95,000 affected community members in just the first few days.
A devastating tropical storm caused extreme flooding and mudslides, with dozens of deaths, thousands of people displaced, and significant infrastructure damage.
The ERT attended the UNDRR Regional Platform in Uruguay. Global disaster response practitioners discussed the importance and impact of digital transformation of the aid sector, especially in the pivotal work of risk reduction and preparedness.
