There's huge value in reaching communities with anticipatory action before roads are damaged by floods. @MalawiRedCross and @danskrodekors were able to support some anticipatory actions, and are hoping that lessons learned from #Ana will support scale up in future. @RCClimate

#CycloneAna har ramt #Malawi.

Det regner og stormer stadig.

10.000vis af mennesker er evakueret.

@danskrodekors er allerede i gang med - for vi viste jo at cyklonen ville ramme. Men der er sårede, huse er ødelagt og landsbyer er omkranset af vandmasserne.

Due to continued heavy rains and strong winds more people are likely to be affected. @MalawiRedCross continues with anticipatory early actions and is carrying out assessment in the already affected areas. @MalawiGovt has since closed all schools in the southern region today.
