SAWDOS has set up a Citizen Real-Time Observation Platform for Cyclone Giovanna

Cyclone Giovanna made landfall on February 13th at 23h00 local time in Madagascar. SAWDOS has set up a real time storm observation platform to crowd source weather and disaster related  information during and after the storm. If you have any relevant information regarding the cyclone, you can share those with mutliple channels: via SMS at a local number 0762513482, send an email to sawois05 AT gmail DOT com, or by posting on twitter with the hashtag #Giovanna.

We need to keep and eye on this storm especially iro re-development and movement in the next two days. The SAWDOS received several questions as to whether the cyclone will have any effect on South Africa. It is far to early to know it the system will have an effect on South Africa. The SAWDOS will monitor the system and will notify members of the public should the system move towards South Africa.  Stay tuned to the SAWDOS Blog, SAWDIS Twitter and SAWDOS Facebook pages. Here you will find the latest updates about Cyclone Giovanna.
