Tropical Cyclone Idai devastated Chimanimani District in eastern Zimbabwe in 2019, affecting over 3 million people across Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. The cyclone resulted in over $2 billion in economic losses, but the emotional and social impacts were equally severe. Survivors reported enduring grief from lost loved ones and significant trauma, with many facing mental health issues such as anxiety and post-traumatic stress. Displacement disrupted their connection to ancestral lands, leading to a loss of cultural identity and breakdown of social networks. Recovery efforts often overlook these non-economic losses, leaving deep emotional wounds unaddressed. Effective disaster response must prioritize the emotional well-being of survivors and involve them in decision-making processes to ensure their needs are met. Addressing both visible and invisible losses is essential for rebuilding lives and communities after such disasters.
