Highlights
-
Typically, the main flooding happens once a year, but this year many provinces have been impacted multiple times since July. More significant flooding occurred in September.
-
Current floods are small to moderate scale. Responses are manageable at provincial level. PCDMs and humanitarian actors have provided relief aid to displaced and most affected households. The Search and Rescue task forces are on standby. NCDM welcomes humanitarian assistance from development partners to support provincial responses in flood-affected provinces.
-
If the situation deteriorates, NCDM may call for an emergency coordination meeting to discuss a joint response strategy/plan and mobilise support.
