Cyclone Chanda hits Madagascar

HoverAid is watching the situation closely and already has plans for a team to head south into the affected area. This is the first major storm of this year’s cyclone season and unusually the storm has come from the Mozambique channel and landed on the lower and poorer Western low plateau. HoverAid currently has three hovercraft in Madagascar and we know some of the rivers in this region well. Our team has reported that the few dirt roads in the areas we work are becoming very dificult to use.
