The storm doesn't announce itself.
Tahadhari does.
We detect floods from orbit — through cloud, at night — and deliver verified alerts to insurers within hours.

Moisture loads over the ocean. Optical monitoring starts losing the ground beneath the cloud.
When the season builds, the imagery most risk models rely on goes blind first.
Catchments saturate in hours. Conventional imagery sees only the top of the storm.
Every hour without ground truth is an hour of unpriced exposure.
Water moves faster than warnings. Rivers leave their banks at night, under full cloud.
This is the moment an underwriting desk needs evidence, not estimates.
We see through the storm. All-weather Earth observation resolves the flood to street-block detail.
Verified flood extent — delivered to insurers within hours of observation.
Flood is live today. The field extends to the perils around it.
One monitoring field, one API. Roadmap perils are in development and not yet dispatching signals.
Riverine & Urban Flood
Detection, extent mapping, and severity scoring — through cloud, day and night.
Flash Flood
Rapid-onset flooding from short, violent rainfall — the hardest events to witness from the ground.
Landslide
Rainfall-triggered slope-failure susceptibility for escarpment and highland exposure.
Drought
Vegetation stress and soil-moisture deficit monitoring — the bridge to agricultural platforms.
Three steps. No signal ships unless it passes.
DECISION CONSOLE · WARD-LEVEL FLOOD MAP
Observe
All-weather Earth observation and orbital flood monitoring, fused with rainfall and hydrological signals — through cloud, at night.
Score
Flood extent resolved to street-block detail, classified by severity, and mapped against insured exposure.
Dispatch
Every alert passes a fail-closed quality gate — freshness, plausibility, exposure sanity, audit. If any check fails, nothing ships.
KENYA RE HAS PROPOSED A NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE POOL — POOLS RUN ON VERIFIED EVENT DATA.
The same field, serving two desks.
LIVE — NAIROBI
Tahadhari API
Insurer-facing flood-risk data and analytics: risk scores, verified flood extent, and severity — one integration.
LIVE — KIRINYAGA COUNTY
Chipua
Plot-level crop-fit intelligence for agricultural platforms, built on the Tahadhari API.
Tahadhari signs an MOU with Pesira.
We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with our partners Pesira — Nairobi-based infrastructure for finance, software and data across Africa's agriculture. Pesira works with farmers, cooperatives and partners to digitise farmer records and connect smallholders to finance, insurance and market opportunities. Together, we will put parcel-level flood-risk intelligence in front of the farmers and insurers Pesira already serves.
In East Africa, a developing strong El Niño is expected to suppress the summer 'long rains' before drastically intensifying the October-to-December 'short rains,' creating a severe risk of catastrophic flooding.
KES 187.8B in flood losses across two seasons.
Treasury publishes the DRF Strategy 2026–2030 — pre-arranged financing replaces emergency appeals.
The El Niño-intensified short rains.
IFRS S2 full compliance — physical climate-risk disclosure becomes mandatory.
Sixty years of water, drawn as an instrument trace.
Every excursion is an event; its shape is its peril — floods spike, droughts trough, landslides break jagged, dam failures drop off a cliff. The spikes get denser toward the present.
IMPACT SHOWN AS EXTENT, DISPLACEMENT AND LOSS — NEVER CASUALTY COUNTS. FIGURES PER THE CANONICAL FACTS REGISTER.
Underwrite the next season with eyes on the ground.
A pilot programme for Kenyan insurers is open ahead of the October short rains.
