The 2010 Pakistan Floods Began in Late July 2010 As a Result of Heavy
INTRODUCTION: The 2010 Pakistan floods began in late July 2010 as a result of heavy monsoon rains in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Sindh, Punjab and Baluchistan and affected the Indus River basin. Pakistan has a total land area equal to 796,096 square kilometers (307,374 square miles). Approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's total land area was underwater during the 2010 floods. According to Pakistani government data the floods directly affected about 20 million people, mostly by destruction of property, livelihood and infrastructure, with a death toll of close to 2,000. The Indus River originates in the Tibetan plateau. The river runs a course through the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit, Baltistan and flows through Pakistan in a southerly direction along the entire length of Pakistan to merge into the Arabian Sea near the port city of Karachi in Sindh. The total length of the river is 3,180 km (1,980 mi). It is Pakistan's longest river. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had initially asked for US$460 million for emergency relief, noting that the flood was the worst disaster he had ever seen. Only 20% of the relief funds requested had been received as of 15 August 2010. The U.N. had been concerned that aid was not arriving fast enough, and the World Health Organization reported that ten million people were forced to drink unsafe water. The Pakistani economy was harmed by extensive damage to infrastructure and crops. Almost 65% of the labor force in Pakistan is involved in agricultural activities.

Markets in Crises: the 2010 Floods in Sindh, Pakistan Steven A
HPG Working Paper Markets in crises: the 2010 floods in Sindh, Pakistan Steven A. Zyck, Irina Mosel, Huma Dad Khan and Saad Shabbir October 2015 HPG Humanitarian Policy Group About the authors Steven A. Zyck and Irina Mosel are Research Fellows with the Humanitarian Policy Group at the Overseas Development Institute. Huma Dad Khan and Saad Shabbir are Researchers at the Sustainable Development Policy Institute in Islamabad. Acknowledgements This project has been conducted in close partnership with the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) in Islamabad. This leading Pakistani think tank helped to guide this project’s focus and facilitate the research in Islamabad and Sukkur. The authors are also grateful for the support of the Sukkur Institute of Business Administration (IBA) in Pakistan’s Sindh province. Dr Waqar Akram at Sukkur IBA, in particular, helped to advise the research team, facilitate connections with key stakeholders and identify local researchers from among Sukkur IBA’s cadre of postgraduate students and alumni. These include (in alphabetical order): Sajid Ali, Asma Hussain, Muhammad Younus Khoso, Imran Leghari, Sajid Hussain Shah and Usama Shahzad. This study would not have been possible without the active engagement of these researchers, including foundational support from Mr Leghari and Mr Shah in Sukkur in setting up the field work in Sindh. We would also like to acknowledge the support of Pakistan Hands, a local NGO which helped to enable access to flood-affected communities in Sindh during the initial phase of this project. Participants in a February 2010 roundtable discussion in Islamabad at SDPI also provided insightful comments based on their experience not only with the 2010 floods but also with the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and with other crises in Pakistan.

Multiscale Analysis of Three Consecutive Years of Anomalous Flooding in Pakistan
Multiscale analysis of three consecutive years of anomalous flooding in Pakistan By K. L. Rasmussen1+, A. J. Hill*, V. E. Toma#, M. D. Zuluaga+, P. J. Webster#, and R. A. Houze, Jr.+ +Department of Atmospheric Sciences University of Washington Seattle, WA *Atmospheric Science Group Department of Geosciences Texas Tech University Lubbock, TX #School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA Submitted to the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society January 2014 Revised April 2014 Revised June 2014 1 Corresponding author: Kristen Lani Rasmussen, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington, Box 351640, Seattle, WA 98195 E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT A multiscale investigation into three years of anomalous floods in Pakistan provides insight into their formation, unifying meteorological characteristics, mesoscale storm structures, and predictability. Striking similarities between all three floods existed from planetary and large- scale synoptic conditions down to the mesoscale storm structures, and these patterns were generally well-captured with the ECMWF EPS forecast system. Atmospheric blocking events associated with high geopotential heights and surface temperatures over Eastern Europe were present during all three floods. Quasi-stationary synoptic conditions over the Tibetan plateau allowed for the formation of anomalous easterly midlevel flow across central India into Pakistan that advected deep tropospheric moisture from the Bay of Bengal into Pakistan, enabling flooding in the region. The TRMM Precipitation Radar observations show that the flood- producing storms exhibited climatologically unusual structures during all three floods in Pakistan. These departures from the climatology consisted of westward propagating precipitating systems with embedded wide convective cores, rarely seen in this region, that likely occurred when convection was organized upscale by the easterly midlevel jet across the subcontinent.
