This map illustrates both the reported building damage as well as estimated total rainfall accumulation for 
the coastal districts most affected by Cyclone Jokwe. The building damage numbers have been provided from the OCHA Situation Report No. 12 dated 11 March 2008. The rainfall estimate was derived from 
the Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission (TRMM) precipitation dataset at a spatial resolution of approximately 25km for this region, and covers the dates from 6 to 11 March 2008. It is possible that 
precipitation levels may have been underestimated for local areas, and is not a substitute for ground station measurements. This rainfall estimate is a preliminary result & has not yet been 
validated in the field. Map Scale for A3 : 1:1,100,000; Projection :  UTM, Zone 37 South; Datum : WGS 1984.
