Cover Story: In January 2018, a tropical depression hit Nampula province, Mozambique, affecting more than 80,000 people and killing 34. Additionally, damage to the road network hampered the response operations. A mathematical model is proposed here to support pre-disaster operations and help mitigate the impact of similar disasters in developing countries. View this paper.
