The primary goal of the Togo DRM Country Plan is to improve flood risk management and preparedness. Key activities include an Early Warning System, improved flood response, a strengthened national disaster risk reduction platform, and cartography of the greater Lome area. A comprehensive risk assessment encompassing a hazard, asset exposure and vulnerability analysis will be completed.The risk assessment will have two outcomes: 1) Identify appropriate disaster mitigation investments, and 2) Identify risk transfer mechanisms, both for country-level prioritization.
