In Madagascar, authorities prepare for a tropical cyclone Chido and the cyclone season. Officials warn that areas are at risk of landslides, as they set up sites that can accommodate disaster victims while cleaning up the capital Antananarivo to prevent plastic waste from clogging the canals. Residents, for their part, are reinforcing their roofs and getting ready. Mayotte, also in the Indian Ocean, is on red alert as the cyclone approaches. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
