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

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

was conducted under 9 major sectors (including agriculture,
food security, livelihood, shelter / housing, health & nutrition,
The findings of MIRA report identified Agriculture, Housing, Livelihood and Community Infrastructure as
worst affected due to floods. The assessment report (finalized jointly by NDMA & UNOCHA) was also shared
with the government, donors and UN/International organizations to assist in utilization of resources and
direct relief efforts where most needed.

With the initiation of the early recovery phase, NDMA initiated the process of RNA in AJ&K and Punjab on 3
October 2014 to assess the cost of damages caused by the floods and carrying out recovery and
rehabilitation process. The assessment was carried out jointly by NDMA, PDMA Punjab, SDMA AJ&K,UNDP,
provincial Line Departments and district authorities in 28 flood/rain affected districts of Punjab and 10 FA
districts of AJ&K to determine losses to crops, houses, livelihood and community infrastructure. The UN
agencies, WB and ADB expressed their satisfaction on damages/losses data collected by the government.
The financial impact of floods 2014 estimated by RNA report is Rs 43.99 M or USD 439.97 M. The outcome of
report was also presented to the donors/international community to acquire their assistance and support in
recovery and rehabilitation process.
While the government used its national capacity for relief, it decided to seek assistance from the donors for its
recovery plan as resilient recovery and reconstruction of FAA require considerable resources to meet the set
targets. As a sequel to this the Recovery Action Framework based on RNA was jointly finalized by NDMA and
th
UNDP on 30 October 2014. It has been approved by the government for overall recovery process proposed
to be concluded in 24 months time period.The recovery plan will be executed through government lead
implementation and monitoring mechanism, adding resilience into infrastructure, institutions and
communities through reconstruction. Funding for recovery plan by government, Donor NGOs is being
considered.
