3. PROJECT DURATION: Six months

4. OPERATIONAL DETAILS:

The proposed activities shall be undertaken in the most affected areas of Khurda and Districts – Delanga, Balianta, Konark, Kanas, Satyabadi, Brahmagiri, Krushnaprasad, Chilika, Bhusandpur and Bhubaneswar as well as Puri urban slums with around 1 million populations.

5. THE CONTEXT

A low-pressure area was formed over east equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO) and adjoining southeast of (BoB) on 25.04.2019 intensifying into a Severe Cyclonic Storm over southeast & adjoining southwest BoB. It further intensified into Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm ‘FANI’ over west central & adjoining southwest of Bay of Bengal on 01.05.2019 hitting one of the poorest coastal states of India - Odisha. The Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm ‘FANI’ made landfall on the Odisha Coast south of Puri on 3 May, 2019 and the of the system was completely moved into land by 1000 hrs at the wind speed of 175-185, gusting up to 205 kmph. Efforts made/ Resources mobilized by State Government of Odisha along with NGOs and other agencies have successfully evacuated more than One million people to safer places in a record time to save their life. However, the strong wind of more than 200 km /hr has caused extensive damage to the infrastructure and people’s assets, such as water supply, electricity and the weak houses of the poor rural and urban communities. The lifeline of the state including the state capital is still under darkness with electricity, Internet and communication line cut off completely. The death toll has risen to 50 as per the media reports, however, the state government acknowledges only 29. A large number of cattle are lost and the heavy wind and rain damaged the kharif crop, vegetable cultivation and cash crops too. The horticulture is worst affected, the riping mangoes have fallen off and the crop is almost destroyed causing a severe setback to the economy. The internal road blockades are still a major challenge to fasten the relief and rehabilitation operations. The devastating cyclone has shaken the backbone of coastal Odisha and killed the hope and dreams of people in rural as well as urban slums. The cyclone has damaged almost all the kuccha houses, polythene roofed houses, tin and asbestos roofed houses in the area and made more than 60% families homeless. The major source of income from coconut orchards has been devastated making more than 35% people out of their livelihoods. The most vulnerable section of the affected community includes the women, the children, the elderly people and the persons with disability. Sanitary and hygiene conditions are extremely poor in the affected slums as toilets have been collapsed and damaged. Drinking water sources have been heavily contaminated; even the village ponds have fallen trees, debris and dead aquatics. Families have lost their household belongings (clothes, utensils, food grains etc) under the collapsed structures, Children have lost their study materials and their books, notebooks, pen, and pencils have been crushed into pieces. They have been deprived of food and drinking water since days. Families have lost their clothes, their accessories including bed, bed sheets, furniture and others and are living in the debris of their own assets. The state and district administration along with local civil society and panchayatiraj institutions have been able to get some 1.1 million people evacuated soon after the warning was made by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and prior to the land fall of Cyclone FANI. The massive evacuation was possible due to the improved community awareness created over the years of effort by the government and non government

2 humanitarian agencies backed by robust systems and processes put in place to evacuate and providing temporary shelters in some 850 Multi Purpose Cyclone Shelters ( MPCS) built during last twenty years with investments coming from the state as well as the civil society. Now soon after the cyclone when the evacuated people begin to return to their houses they are finding the huge devastation and los of almost everything. They could save their lives (that is important) but they seem to have lost the means to live. They had released the livestock while evacuating hoping the animals will find their own safe place to survive. Now on return to their homes they begin scrambling to search their livestock dead or alive. The affected people are yet to receive dry foods, sufficient drinking water, immediate survival kits, sanitation aids, first aid etc. from the government. The restoration work by the government has delayed in delivering the minimum survival requirements of the people. Also, the food provided through community shelters/ kitchen is not sufficient. The government response: • Free kitchen extended for another 15 days, most kitchens running the MPCSs. • The State Government announced the rehabilitation package for the cyclone victims. The beneficiaries will get INR 95,100 for fully damaged houses under rural housing schemes. Similarly the families having partially damaged houses will get INR 5,200 and INR 3,200 for nominal repair • The affected families in Puri and Khurda districts will get 50 Kg rice, INR 2000/- and a polythene each • Additional one-month pension to the beneficiaries in the affected areas under Social Security Scheme

6. PROBLEMS AND NEEDS More than 10 million people are affected including the urban centres like Puri, Bhubaneswar (State Capital) and Khorda. These people and many more outside the camps, are still in need of food, drinking water, cloths, medicines, personal hygiene material, bedding material, kitchen utensils, interim shelter and so on. Families, returning to their houses, face mammoth challenge of clearing sand, silt and slush deposited inside the houses and around. Such families need immediate support to renovate their houses to make them habitable. Many families, number yet to be ascertained, will need support to repair or reconstruct their houses. Thousands of families will also need support to revive their livelihood, particularly those belonging to informal sector. Besides affecting Odisha’s agricultural sector, the devastating FANI Cyclone has dented the State’s animal husbandry and dairy sector. In Pipili Block of the , approximately 750,000 poultry birds have been perished. The loss occurred at a time when the State is trying to maintain sustainability in the production of milk, livestock and poultry. Moreover, heavy losses also occurred in fisheries stocks, including ornamental, rearing and nuclear breeding stock of fishes and hatcheries. However, the massive death of the poultry birds has laid another challenge for health and hygiene. The birds are gradually decaying and the possibility of air- pollution is increasing day-by-day. Debris removal is turning out to be massive task before even conducting a rapid assessment. Meanwhile, the rain water over-drowning the dead-birds have made the water bodies contaminated – the water bodies on which the people are dependant for drinking and other water needs. This is s serious blow to the health-eco-system of more than one million people in the Block. The situation has been traumatic for the affected population both in urban and rural areas.

3 There is a need to provide psychosocial care to them. Likewise, given this unprecedented disaster, there is also an urgent need to work on disaster preparedness in full vigour. The problems and needs could be summarised as under:

• Death toll rises to 50, however, government sources reported 29 life claims; • 5244 primary, 547 upper primary, 180 high schools and 1031 public health institutions were damaged • One lac 56 thousand of electric poles are damaged in the state as per the primary assessment • Scarcity of water and food are still major challenges in the rural and urban slums after 72 hours of FANI • Thousand hectors of Kharif crop, Rubber plantation, ground nuts, betel field, coconut garden and vegetables are lost affecting over lacs of farmers • Though the national and state high ways are cleared for communication but internal road blockade is still a challenge for relief operation • Administration can’t able to reach all the affected rural areas after 72 hours due to road blockade • Electricity, water supply, telecommunication and food scarcity are major challenges in the worst affected villages and urban slums in Bhubaneswar, Khuordha and Puri districts • Damage assessments are yet to be done • Heavy loss of live stock, crop, household daily needs worsen the situation • Fear of break out of epidemics due to heavy animal loss and waste disposal. Around 7.5 lakhs poultry birds have perished in the Pipili area of Puri district only which has contaminated all the water bodies with heavy stench, and posing a serious risk of outbreak of epidemics • Community based psychosocial care is a very critical need

7. The HAI response HAI has started responding to the situation through coordination with its local member organisations CYSD, Udyama and others. In collaboration with Tata Trusts, HAI and its member CYSD have installed a water purification unit in the CYSD campus, which treats water up to 3,000 litres per hour. Potable water is being carried to the affected areas for distribution. HAI is also initiating distribution of temporary shelter material and dignity kit for women in the affected areas. A medical team is also being deployed. The state needs medium to longer-term support to rebuild, reconstruct and revive its economy. HAI aims to complement that effort by raising necessary resources through this appeal.

8. PROPOSED RESPONSE HAI and its member organisations will cover 20-25 villages from the districts of Bhubaneswar, Puri, Khurda, Kendrapara and Chilka in Ganjam. List of villages will be finalised in due course, in consultation with the district authorities and after second round (Phase 2) of the assessment.

Implementation methodology The situation is still chaotic for undertaking a detailed assessment. HAI with its partner member agencies will undertake assessment and a targeted selection of the villages shall be done in consultation with the state and the district authorities. HAI is one of the leading agencies working on localisation. Odisha cyclone response will be one opportunity for the signatories on Grand Bargain (GB) and Charter for Change (C4C) to demonstrate delivery on the commitments. HAI will constantly disseminate information on the GB and C4C commitments so that local organisations of Odisha can remain on the forefront of the operation while having better access to funds. HAI, through its member organisation, will make sure that the entire humanitarian cycle gets completed with adequate thrust on recovery and rehabilitation. HAI will strive for multiyear financing so that a humanitarian-development nexus could be established to systematically address to mitigate risks and strengthen resilience. HAI firmly believe that the state is the primary duty bearer. All activities shall be implemented accordingly in consultation and coordination with the district and state authorities.

Accountability HAI maintains high level of accountability across all its programmes. All the stakeholders are informed about the available resources. Decisions, including identification of beneficiaries, are done in consultation with the families. Two-way communication shall be established from the very beginning to ensure Accountability to the Affected Population (AAP), and also receive feedback/complaints and suggestions from the beneficiary families. HAI will try promoting innovation and use of technology for better assessment and accountability. HAI will equally highlight role of its donors and member organisations in all of its media communications. Visibility Adequate visibility will be provided to all resource partners throughout the implementation. The beneficiary families will also be separately briefed about them. HAI will acknowledge and highlight support of all resource partners on its social media pages, as well as situation reports and media reports.

Monitoring plan Monitoring will remain the responsibility of HAI. Since the needs change quite rapidly in a disaster context, a real time evaluation has also been proposed to make necessary amendments in the implementation strategy and the interventions.
