Mozambican water authorities say around 300,000 people are at risk of being affected by flooding along the Zambezi basin during the current rainy season, which runs between October and March.
At the beginning of this year, the Zambezi basin floods left a trail of destruction including a bridge on the Revúbuè River, whose central deck was destroyed and is currently undergoing reconstruction.
Many homes were destroyed, including state institutions.
The scenario could be repeated during the current rainy season where moderate and above normal rains are forecast.
The situation is being worsened by discharges from the Cahora Bassa dam since the beginning of October.
The latest alert focuses on people living near rivers.
There are more than 800,000 people along the Zambezi basin, of which around 300,000 are exposed to floods, according to the state water resources agency.
