Due to its topography, several areas of Rwanda are located in high-risk areas. Recently, disasters like floods and landslides have the potential to delay the economic development in terms of damaged infrastructures, displacement and loss of life of the people. In addition, climate change and increase in extreme weather patterns have also increased in recent years. According to the figures from the Ministry of Disaster Management and Refugee (MIDMAR), from January up to May 2018, over 80 people had been killed in rains that had been affecting central and Northern-Western Rwanda, while 74 others were injured. At least 28 people died from heavy rain which resulted in floods along Sebeya River and other areas where people live on steep hills were affected by landslides. Furthermore, 898 houses were also destroyed, while over 1,500 hectares of crops were damaged over the same period. Known as “the land of a thousand hills”, Rwanda is one of Africa’s most densely populated countries. Therefore, population increase has resulted in pressure on land use resulting in the construction of human settlements in areas highly susceptible to floods and landslide. In Rwanda more areas are prone to floods and landslides and this is due to various aspect such as topographic, land use type, lack of adequate information and others. Disaster risk management as a worldwide issue, knowledge of disaster-prone areas in Rwanda, can be assumed as an additional tool for detailed information acquisition, henceforth contributing to effective disaster risk management. it is in this regard that this work was conducted to provide information on disaster risk of floods and landslides and their management options in Rwanda. The result revealed that the most vulnerable areas prone to floods and landslides are located in the North-Western while floods had affected the country more than landslides.
