Overview

With the rainy season approaching in Northeast Nigeria - from May to September 2018, it is expected that rainfall and storm events will have damaging consequences on living conditions of displaced persons both in camp sites and host communities, including hindered access for humanitarian actors in most vulnerable locations.

As a proactive measure to inform preparedness activities, the sector produced a targeted flood vulnerability mapping emphasizing on sector needs and gaps assessed to review the 2018 contingency plan and response strategy for CCCM, Shelter and NFI-related intervention. Information provided highlights the different levels of vulnerability, the severity of needs as well as prioritized locations for preparedness and response activities. The vulnerability analysis mapping and gap assessment were done using field assessments, DEM, soil drainage asessments, a review of arrivals trends as well as data recorded from the 2016 and 2017 flood and storm events .
