==== Mitigation ====
In January 2022 the country's Department of Civil Protection (DCP) set up 394 evacuation centers in Manicaland province to deal with the impact of [[Cyclone Ana]]. This was the government's way of limiting the effects of the floods as it was noted that parts of Mutasa and [[Chimanimani District|Chimanimani districts]] were already receiving strong winds and heavy rains associated with the storm.<ref>{{Cite web |title=5 Cyclones To Hit Zimbabwe – ZimEye |url=https://www.zimeye.net/2022/12/10/5-cyclones-to-hit-zimbabwe/ |access-date=2023-03-25 |language=en-US}}</ref> Another way of mitigating the effects of flooding is relocating people before during and after the floods and ensuring that everyone is at safe place when the cyclone hits the area. This is seen in Zimbabwe where the authorities announced that school children from the most vulnerable areas should not go to school but stay home on the days when [[cyclone Freddy]] was expected.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cyclone Freddy: Schools Shut – ZimEye |url=https://www.zimeye.net/2023/02/23/cyclone-freddy-schools-shut/ |access-date=2023-03-27 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Chronicle |first=The |title=Cyclone Freddy: Schools to remain closed until Tuesday |url=https://www.chronicle.co.zw/cyclone-freddy-schools-to-remain-closed-until-tuesday/ |access-date=2023-03-27 |website=The Chronicle |date=24 February 2023 |language=en-GB}}</ref>
