This mapping initiative is implemented with the support of World Vision Timor-Leste as part of an anticipatory action program aimed at enhancing community resilience. The initiative enables communities to access real-time, community-sourced updates on critical infrastructure, evacuation sites, evacuation routes, and flood-prone areas. By providing accurate and timely information, the map serves as a vital tool for disaster preparedness and response, ensuring that both local residents and visitors can make informed decisions during emergencies. This initiative strengthens community engagement and enhances early warning systems, ultimately reducing vulnerabilities and improving disaster risk management in flood-prone regions of Timor-Leste
