This storm struck Bari province in Somalia on 21 May,2010. The storm dissipated before 24 hours ellapsed because of cooler waters, higher wind shear and drier air in the Gulf of Aden. It curved southwest and made landfall in northeast Somalia. Bandu was named after Tropical Storm 02A moving into The Gulf of Eden. Bandu had maximum sustained winds near 45 knots (52 mph) and was 50 miles north-northwest of Cape Guardafui, Somalia. In May 21, 2010 TC Bandu hit Bari Region in northern Somalia resulting in flooding and human displacement. The number of people displaced included; 12000 in Bari,17000 along Shabelle River, 2000 people in Jamaame town, Lower Juba Region, as well as Afgooye and Kurtunwaarey districts, Lower Shabelle Region. In response to identified humanitarian needs, the U.N. Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and non-governmental organization (NGO) partners provided support for garbage collection and WASH activities.

GLIDEnumbers are GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters. Each disaster is registered in a record that contains a GLIDEnumber that uniquely identifies it and allows information to be interoperable across multiple disaster information sources, both structured and textual. Accessing disaster information can be a time consuming and laborious task. Not only is data scattered but frequently identification of the disaster can be confusing in countries with many disaster events and across borders. To address both of these issues, Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed a globally common Unique ID code for disasters. Among the institutions using actively GLIDEnumbers are UN-OCHA (ReliefWeb, FSCC, HDX), UNDRR, UNDP, WMO, IFRC, FAO, the European Commission and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), among many others. Country datasets are only produced for countries with at least one GLIDE event since 1 January 2022. The global dataset contains all events available from the GLIDE API, including those not assigned to a country.

In November 20, 1994 TC05A moved ashore eastern Somalia near Eyl district, producing wind speeds of 104 km/h (65 mph) in Bosaso district. This layer shows the occurence of the storm in two regions of Somalia; Bari and Nugaal Province. The disturbance which became TC05A was first noted on 7 November,1994 by Significant Tropical Weather Advisory (ABIO) at 9N 54E. It was embedded within a widespread area of convection associated with broad troughing. The first warning was issued at 0600Z on 8 November as the cyclone landed in Somalia. The storm's high winds and rainfall killed 30 people and injured hundreds of others. Several boats and homes were washed away.

This dataset shows the drought situation in Somalia. The year 2015 rainy season experienced El Nino conditions that resulted into good rains in many parts of the country. Despite this, the northern parts of the country are facing drought conditions.
This datasets contains the coverage of automatic Weather Stations (AWS). Eight AWS are strategically located in the northern parts of the country including Hargeysa, Borama, Aburin, Dacarbudhug, Xumbaweyne, Ceerigaabo, Garowe and Gaalckacyo . The nineth AWS is located in the south at the border of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia in Mandera town. It is hoped that when the situation allows more automatic weather stations will be installed in the southern regions. The stations record a variety of weather elements including; rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, wind direction and solar radiation. Data from these automatic stations is received in SWALIM Nairobi office daily in near-real-time through satellite at a frequency of every four hours. The data is then transmitted to the public though a client service platform on the SWALIM website.
UNOSAT produced satellite-detected flood water extent and IDP distribtuion within the town of Belet Weyne in Belet Weyne District,Hiiran Region, Somalia. The analysis was conducted analyzing GeoEye-1 & WorldView-3 images acquired on the 30 April & 1 May 2018. As observed from the satellite image, the town of Belet Weyne is completely affected by the floods. Around 70% of the extension of the town is totally inundated, being the districts of Bulahabley, Bundaweyn, Dhagahjebis, Hilac, Hindab and Lamagalay Regional Military Based, Radar and Kutimbo completely submerged in water. The flood waters inside areas of partially flooded districts are receding. More than 110 IDP sites are located inside the town, and 50% of them are inside areas completly flooded. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR UNOSAT.
Air transport plays an essential role in providing aid and relief during and after a disaster. Airports are important hubs for humanitarian assistance and disaster response. The continued support and influx of goods and supplies is dependent on air transport. During a disaster, airports become staging points for rescuers, relief supplies, goods deliveries, and people evacuation.

The ICA is a process of consultations supported by mapped-out data that produces a strategic plan describing where different combinations of programme themes are appropriate to achieve goals of reducing food insecurity and climate related shock risk. The ICA combines multi-year food security trends with natural shock risk data to highlight sub-national areas where different programme strategies make sense. Food security trend maps shows areas where safety nets can address regular food insecurity, and others where shocks make recovery more important. Climate-related natural shock risk maps show where DRR, preparedness and early warning efforts can complement food-security objectives. Atop this core foundation, mapped data on subjects including nutrition, gender, livelihoods and resilience can enrich theme-level strategic planning in which all pieces work together. The full group of ICA partners discuss these analytical results to arrive at strategic programmatic directions.
