Global Appearances
Who are we?
In line with the Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), Goal 13 (Climate Action), and in line with one of the seven global targets for Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction which is to substantially increase the availability and access to multi-hazard early warning system and disaster risk information and assessment to people by 2030.
We decided to support the global objectives through the creation of “Geohazards Risk Mapping Initiative”
What we do
Geohazards Risk Mapping Initiative focuses on identifying and mapping areas at risk of various natural hazards such as floods, drought, and heatwaves. We leverage on advanced geospatial technology, Artificial Intelligence, and scientific research to create detailed risk maps, which are then used to inform and support disaster preparedness, mitigation, and response efforts.
Our Vision
To promote a sustainable environment through the development, generating applications, and dissemination of Geohazard maps using advanced Geospatial Technology.
OUR MISSION
Identify locations in Nigeria, Ghana and other African countries susceptible to various geohazards.
Produce Hazard susceptibility and prediction maps at a local scale.
Share with Disaster and Emergency Management Institutions, Government Ministries, NGOs, Community Leaders and Other Environmental response stakeholders
Use of maps for efficient disaster preparedness, risk management and early warning planning.
Help enhance flood response by using the Flood Reporting App
Report flood in real time with the GRMI developed app built using the Nigeria Geoportal Platform.

The flood maps produced by Geohazard Risk Mapping Initiative were an absolute game changer for our climate action project. With their accurate and detailed mapping, we were able to better assess the communities that are susceptible to floods in Ilorin East and West Local Government Area of Kwara State Nigeria. The maps guide our flood awareness campaign and other climate adaptation project that we conducted in those communities.

GRMI’s commitment to advancing the application of GIS in tackling flood-related challenges is truly commendable, as they have empowered their communities with essential skills in flood risk mapping. They have enabled more informed decision-making and fostered resilience in communities frequently impacted by floods. Their dedication to leveraging location intelligence for disaster risk reduction is a testament to their vital role in promoting sustainable development and protecting lives and livelihoods in Africa.
We are always looking to expand our team. If you are a Disaster Risk Reduction Specialist, Water Risk Specialist and Geospatial Scientist, we would love to work with you.
Join us in this vital endeavor as we work together to promote a sustainable environment, safeguarding present and future generations from the adverse effects of climate change. Your skills and knowledge could be the linchpin in shaping a resilient Africa, fortified against the trials of geohazards.
