This CARP project investigates the increasing occurrence of flash floods in Tiko Municipality, Fako Division, South West Region, Cameroon, and their socio-economic impacts. Flash floods have become severe natural hazards in the region, causing damage to infrastructure, households, agriculture, businesses, and loss of lives. The research aims to understand the causes and effects of recent flash floods, assess the socio-economic factors contributing to the population's vulnerability, and evaluate the effectiveness of existing measures to mitigate flash flood impacts.

This research project focuses on constructing a simulated representation of climate anomalies and modeling the potential exposure to flood risks in the Sudan-Sahel region of Nigeria. By analyzing historical climate data and projecting future anomalies, the study aims to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall and temperature anomalies. Additionally, it seeks to identify flood susceptibility zones, assess population exposure, and analyze land cover patterns in relation to flood susceptibility. Through community engagement, the project aims to enhance resilience and inform adaptation strategies to mitigate the region's vulnerability to floods and climate variability
