RESILIENCE June-December- 2013<br />
Pakistan is among the top countries that are adversely<br />
affected by the global climate change affects. The<br />
frequency of disasters have been forecasted rather<br />
intensifying in years to come. This year multi flavored<br />
disasters in Pakistan i.e, floods in Punjab, drought in Sindh<br />
and cyclone in the coastal areas of Balochistan & Sindh,<br />
denoted a prototype that how significantly climate change<br />
is affecting our region.<br />
Since half a decade in the past, Pakistan has experienced<br />
string of medium and large scale of floods almost every<br />
year. Yet this year, it encountered another challenge of<br />
calamitous flood transpired in September 2014.Flood was<br />
consider to be one of the worst in the country's history<br />
which had caused massive losses to the valuable property,<br />
agriculture assets (land & standings crops), livelihood including community infrastructure and<br />
resulted in a large scale displacement of local habitants in various central parts of Punjab<br />
Province, Gilgit Baltistan (GB) and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K).Nevertheless, mobilization<br />
of well intact and deployed rescue-relief resources at various strategic locations across the<br />
country, continued monitoring, judicious information sharing and coordination based on timely<br />
contingency planning for June-2014 among all the provincial/regional stakeholders i.e, DMAs,<br />
PMD and FFD etc helped to take matched measures to cope with taxing situation and finally<br />
followed by rapid rescue-relief operations that provided timely assistances to the sufferings of<br />
marooned affectees.I would also like to commend the joint efforts of federal - provincial<br />
departments, Armed Forces, Rescue 1122 and various other local organizations/departments<br />
involved in the operations for their successful rescue /relief activities in the flood affected areas<br />
to help people tide over crisis.<br />
After the successful completion of the relief phase, NDMA immediately focused on the Early<br />
Recovery and Rehabilitation of flood affectees. NDMA also assisted/ coordinated with District<br />
Authorities and UN system to carryout Multi-sector Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA) followed<br />
by Recovery Need Assessment (RNA) and Damage Need Assessment (DNA) to determine<br />
humanitarian needs based on the losses occurred due to flood and support required from the<br />
Government to use appropriate resources and prioritized recovery & rehabilitation tasks.<br />
NDMA is fully committed and making all out efforts in collaboration with the government and<br />
private public sector including international partners UN System to prevent and mitigate the<br />
sufferings and ensure complete rehabilitation of the flood affectees The present challenge, as<br />
in the past has left many lessons to be learned thereby unfolded valuable courses to prevent<br />
and avoid such disasters in future. We need to work together for (i) better disaster management<br />
system (ii) effective strategy to strive for long term sustainable development to amicably handle<br />
with the eventualities (iii) improve systems like Weather Forecasting (iv) more advance and<br />
efficient Early Warning system (v) coordination mechanism among all relevant<br />
agencies/stakeholders (i.e, NDMA, PDMAs, DDMAs, PMD, FFC etc), (vi) intensification of<br />
Flood Protection (vii) build Water Reservoirs, effective drainage systems (viii) Disaster<br />
Management Capacities at local levels (ix) fortifying Community Based Disaster Risk<br />
Management to ensure long term flood control measures and improved Response<br />
Mechanism, not only during floods but post flood situation also needs a systematic and efficient<br />
management.<br />
I would like to commend the efforts of entire NDMA team for their contributions in managing the<br />
situation. NDMA is determined and intends to shift its focus from a reactive approach to a more<br />
proactive approach. This will build and further enhance the disaster resilience culture to ensure<br />
better response during such emergencies.<br />
SECTION-I<br />
MONSOON SEASON<br />
Fighting Floods-2014<br />
The onset of monsoon once again found Pakistan in the grip of floods. On 3 September 2014, country<br />
experienced very high to exceptionally high rains coupled with unprecedented high flood discharges from<br />
across the eastern border. The heavy precipitation during monsoon triggered flash floods and landslides in<br />
North Eastern parts of the country, followed by urban flooding in major population centers and riverine floods<br />
(exceptionally high flood flows) in Rivers Chenab, Jhelum and Ravi. These torrential rains and ensuing<br />
floods swamped a large parts of the Punjab, Gilgit Baltistan(GB) and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K),<br />
inundated villages, destroyed houses, submerged crops over hundreds of acres and washed away<br />
livestock in many villages.<br />
Yet, before the commencement of flood season, NDMA focused its<br />
efforts to mitigate and take preventive measures to meet any<br />
disastrous situation. Active liaison was maintained with all<br />
stakeholders including PDMAs, Pakistan Metrological<br />
Department (PMD), Federal Flood Commission (FFC) and<br />
Pakistan Commission for Indus Water (PCIW). The federal &<br />
provincial contingency plans were prepared, rescue-relief<br />
resources were deployed at strategic locations across the country<br />
for effective supply.<br />
In response to the flood alerts by PMD, NDMA issued regular advisories/ warnings to all concerned<br />
departments and ensured precautionary evacuations of population and livestock residing/ present in the flood<br />
plains and low lying areas. The provincial/district response agencies and health units were put on alert through<br />
PDMAs & district administrations to meet any emergent situation.<br />

The provincial & district administration also undertook precautionary measures to cope with eventuality which<br />
may arise with the ingress of flood discharges. Aerial monitoring carried out regularly through Army<br />
helicopters to review the flood shielding arrangements, flood control centers were established to monitor<br />
th<br />
th<br />
expected flood situation. NEOC at NDMA was activated for 24/7 on 15 July - 15 October that monitored the<br />
weather updates and river flows round the clock to substantiate coordination mechanism.<br />
Due to the catastrophic floods during September<br />
2014, federal government immediately mobilized all<br />
its resources to ensure an efficient rescue - relief<br />
efforts. All otherconcerned authorities and<br />
departments including NDMA, PDMA, Armed Forces,<br />
Rescue 1122 and district administration worked hand<br />
in glove and tirelessly to cope with this calamity.<br />
NDMA on the directives of federal government<br />
extended full support to PDMA Punjab, SDMA AJ&K in rescue-relief efforts and undertook all possible steps to<br />
save lives and property through constant coordination with all concerned stakeholder. NDMA teams<br />
were<br />
immediately deployed in the flood affected areas that monitored the river flows and flood peaks<br />
along Marala Headworks, Khanki Barrage and Qadirabad Headworks at River Chenab and along Mangla<br />
Dam, Rasul Headwork and Trimmu Barrage at River Jhelum, as well as coordinated with local civil<br />
administration and authorities for better response and relief management.<br />
NDMA also coordinated aviation rescue - relief<br />
efforts with Pak Army, other agencies and district<br />
administration to support the evacuation of<br />
affected people from flooded areas around river<br />
Chenab and Jhelum. A total of 19 helicopters and<br />
574 boats (provided by Army & Provincial<br />
Government) while approximately 2300 Army<br />
troops and Rescue 1122 teams successfully<br />
undertook search & rescue operations. NDMA<br />
ensured timely relief to the flood affectees through<br />
PDMA Punjab, SDMA AJ&K and GBDMA as well<br />
supplemented provincial relief through additional<br />
supply of tents, blankets, plastic mats, boats, life<br />
jackets, aqua tablets and mobile filtration plants.<br />
In order to assess the ground situation, Prime Minister and Chairman NDMA also visited the flood affected<br />
areas and personally monitored the rescue-relief activities.<br />

After the successful completion of search-rescue-relief<br />
activities, in order to ascertain initial damages/losses and to<br />
determine humanitarian needs of affected population, NDMA<br />
on the instructions of the government undertook Multi- sector<br />
Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA) in collaboration with UN<br />
system, PDMA, district authorities of Punjab and NGOs from<br />
13th - 26th September 2014 in five flood affected districts of<br />
Punjab namely Chiniot, Hafizabad, Jhang, Mandi Bahauddin<br />
and Multan as identified by PDMA Punjab. The assessment<br />
was conducted under 9 major sectors (including agriculture,<br />
food security, livelihood, shelter / housing, health & nutrition,<br />
The findings of MIRA report identified Agriculture, Housing, Livelihood and Community Infrastructure as<br />
worst affected due to floods. The assessment report (finalized jointly by NDMA & UNOCHA) was also shared<br />
with the government, donors and UN/International organizations to assist in utilization of resources and<br />
direct relief efforts where most needed.<br />
Worst Affected Sectors - MIRA<br />
•Agriculture<br />
–Crop damage – 959,423 acres (77%)<br />
–Loss to fodder – 83%<br />
–Food stock losses – 43%<br />
•Livelihood losses<br />
–Agriculture based – 73%<br />
–Daily labour - 51%<br />
–Livestock based - 24%<br />
–Shop keeprs– 26%<br />
–Home based / business – 25%<br />
•House damages<br />
– Fully damaged – 16%<br />
– Partially damaged– 20%<br />
•Community Infrastructure losses<br />
–Roads- 1,547 Km (38%)<br />
–Schools- 327 ( 24%)<br />
–Health facilities- 153 (25%)<br />
With the initiation of the early recovery phase, NDMA initiated the process of RNA in AJ&K and Punjab on 3<br />
October 2014 to assess the cost of damages caused by the floods and carrying out recovery and<br />
rehabilitation process. The assessment was carried out jointly by NDMA, PDMA Punjab, SDMA AJ&K,UNDP,<br />
provincial Line Departments and district authorities in 28 flood/rain affected districts of Punjab and 10 FA<br />
districts of AJ&K to determine losses to crops, houses, livelihood and community infrastructure. The UN<br />
agencies, WB and ADB expressed their satisfaction on damages/losses data collected by the government.<br />
The financial impact of floods 2014 estimated by RNA report is Rs 43.99 M or USD 439.97 M. The outcome of<br />
report was also presented to the donors/international community to acquire their assistance and support in<br />
recovery and rehabilitation process.<br />
While the government used its national capacity for relief, it decided to seek assistance from the donors for its<br />
recovery plan as resilient recovery and reconstruction of FAA require considerable resources to meet the set<br />
targets. As a sequel to this the Recovery Action Framework based on RNA was jointly finalized by NDMA and<br />
th<br />
UNDP on 30 October 2014. It has been approved by the government for overall recovery process proposed<br />
to be concluded in 24 months time period.The recovery plan will be executed through government lead<br />
implementation and monitoring mechanism, adding resilience into infrastructure, institutions and<br />
communities through reconstruction. Funding for recovery plan by government, Donor NGOs is being<br />
considered.<br />

concluding Damage Needs Assessment (DNA) for a comprehensive reconstruction of flood affected areas.<br />
The federal and provincial governments, NDMA, PMD, FFC, Army, Navy, Rescue 1122 and other agencies<br />
made commendable efforts to ensure best possible measures within the available resources to evacuate the<br />
stranded people from the flooded areas through effective strategy & well-coordinated efforts. The<br />
government is fully committed to mitigate sufferings of the affected population and rehabilitate damages<br />
caused by floods 2014.<br />
