Kuyesera AI Disaster Damage and Displacement Challenge.

In March 2023, Cyclone Freddy unleashed devastating floods in Blantyre, Malawi, leaving a trail of destruction across the region. Communities like Chilobwe on Soche Mountain bore the brunt of the disaster due to vulnerabilities such as inadequate drainage, deforestation, and unregulated urban sprawl. The impact of the floods was compounded by societal inequalities, with women, pregnant women, and young girls facing significant barriers in recovery, including loss of shelter, limited healthcare access, and prolonged displacement.

Your mission is to develop a machine learning model capable of identifying the locations of houses and assessing whether they were damaged by Cyclone Freddy. See more
