The ongoing 2015 Kenya floods that have taken lives; homes; left people stranded in traffic for hours and in fear of their lives; destroyed properties totaling millions of Shillings, crippling the growing economy has left most citizens frustrated. It has also left most with a resolve to bring about change in disaster preparedness. Communicating to the public is crucial in order to minimize the losses associated with natural hazards. The goal of this map is to gather real-time information on the challenges that citizens are facing and may face after the rainy season passes. It is hoped that this information will be used by Wananchi, active organizations and governmental agencies such as the Kenya Red Cross to reach all the affected individuals and communities and perhaps utilize it in future planning as Kenya builds resilience to impacts of extreme weather events.
