Executive Summary
This Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan (EPRP) outlines the strategic approach of the Sudan Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI) Cluster to mitigate and respond to anticipated seasonal flooding in 2025. The Plan aims to reduce loss of life, human suffering, and displacement by enabling a timely and coordinated response that provides emergency shelter and NFIs to the most vulnerable displaced and at-risk communities. Building on lessons from past flood responses, the Plan emphasizes:
• Early warning and climate forecasting.
• Pre-positioning of critical supplies.
• Rapid deployment teams.
• Strong community engagement and protection integration.
• Importance of investment in site development, particularly flood mitigation measures.
Additionally, the plan incorporates a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework to ensure accountability, inform real-time decision-making, and adapt the response as needed. Through close collaboration with national authorities, humanitarian partners, and local actors, the Shelter and NFI Cluster seeks to strengthen preparedness and build the resilience of flood-prone communities across Sudan.
