INDECI considers a person ‘affected’ when the individual suffers a disturbance in his/her surroundings due to a natural phenomenon and may or may not require immediate relief to eliminate or mitigate the causes of that disturbance and resume normal activity. A 'severely affected’ individual is an affected person, who has suffered injury or damage to his/her health and/or property, particularly housing, and does not have the capacity to recover his/her goods and assets; hence he/she receives shelter and humanitarian aid. 2 Constitutional Province of .

Situation Overview

Since the end of January, the El Niño coastal phenomenon has been triggered by an abrupt increase in sea surface temperature. This phenomenon is expected to last until April with moderate magnitude according to the report of the Multisectoral Committee in Charge of the National Study of the El Niño Phenomenon (ENFEN).

As a consequence of the continued heavy rains during February and March, emergencies related to floods and landslides have been reported, mainly in the north coast of the country, particularly in the . This has had negative effects in the life and health conditions of people, and has damaged homes, educational institutions, health establishments, farming areas and communication routes, among others. This situation had continued during the beginning of April.

According to official figures at the date of this report, at least 980,450 people are reported as affected and 160,641 as severely affected.

The latest report from the National Civil Defence Institute (INDECI) shows that the damage has been reported in the departments, as shown below:

Departments Severely Damaged Casualties Missing Damaged Piura 31.054 287.817 8 Lambayeque 52.836 146.848 3 La Libertad 21.076 113.350 14 4 Ancash 24.091 62.316 8 4 Tumbes 978 36.108 Lima 12.815 35.628 14 1 Others5 17.791 298.383 59 9 Total 160.641 980.450 106 18

Based on the information from the National Emergency Operations Centre (COEN), to date the Piura River and the Chira River are at normal flow. In La Libertad, the Moche River is on an orange alert. The rivers of the rainforest are in red alert: The Napo, Amazonas, and Marañón Rivers, with an upward trend. The Ucayali River continues to be in red alert. Based on information from the COEN, with a report from the Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation of the Brazilian Navy (DHN), the surface temperature of the sea continues to fall, showing conditions very close to its normal average in April. In Paita, the sea temperature is 22.5 ° C (it had reached a maximum of 29.9 ° C in March). The National Meteorological and Hydrology Service (SENAMHI) reports that the rains will continue in the north of the country, but with less intensity. The most significant rainfall will be in Tumbes and in the north-central area of Piura. Rainfall in the north mountain range of the country, mainly in the province of Chota, Cajamarca, tends to be light to moderate. The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) estimates that growth during the first quarter of the year will be 2%, with its lowest point in March, due to the negative effects of El Niño on production. Nevertheless, the reconstruction process is expected to boost the economy. The Fiscal Stimulus Plan seeks to reactivate the economy and address disasters, and is the largest approved since 2009: S/. 5,593 million -S/. 4,123 million for economic recovery and S/.170 million for emergency relief, (Aprox. $1.75 billion). Response Actions in Piura: Piura is still the region with the largest affected (287,817) and severely affected (31,054) population by effects of the El Niño Coastal phenomenon, according to INDECI. With regard to damaged houses, 6,582 houses have been destroyed and are uninhabitable and 60,1506 houses have been affected. The department of Piura continues to be

Prepared in collaboration with

Peru: Rainy Season Situation Report No. 6| 3 under a State of National Emergency7, caused by major disaster, since March 29. The Regional Council of Piura agreed to declare as regional interest the reconstruction actions for the recovery and the development of the towns affected by the major disaster, and ordered to articulate regional and local interventions with the actions of the Central Government. The Regional Transportation Directorate of Piura is coordinating the transfer of S/.15 million to recover the transitability of the department and neighbourhood roads in the region.

In Piura alone, 318,8718 people are affected and severely affected (112,179 are boys and girls), accounting for 28% of all those affected and severely affected nationally. Only 25% of the current need for pre-fabricated classrooms for school classes is covered in Piura. 1,547 people severely affected by the overflow of the Piura River have been placed in ten shelters in educational facilities and community centres in the areas of Piura, Castilla, and Catacaos, implemented by the regional government of Piura. The regional government has also distributed various household items and basic needs. The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MINAGRI) and the Chira Piura Special Project have begun repairing dams damaged due to overflowing of the Piura River. Damaged sections have been reinforced, through the filling of soil, sacks of sand, rock, and geomembrane, and it is estimated that the works will be completed in the next few days. The National Police of Peru (PNP) has been distributing lunches to severely affected in the district of Catacaos and needs such as non-perishable food and water. The Ministry of Health (MINSA) indicated that currently 43% of dengue cases correspond to Piura and for this, it is delivering DEET repellents and mosquito nets in the affected areas. The health personnel of Piura have been trained to manage dengue. Access

The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) reported that work with the private sector has enabled 148 climate emergencies to be addressed between March and April in different . There are at least 3,231 kilometres of roads affected by rains and overfloods of rivers, which are equivalent to 12% of the National Road Network. Of this figure, 700 kilometres are under concession. The MTC has planned to acquire more modular bridges to reconnect sections incommunicado for emergencies, since 90% of Peruvian goods are transported by land. In the northern coast of Peru, the transit in the Pan-American Highway between Piura and Talara is currently restricted between kilometres 1,049 and 1,085. Similarly in Tumbes, the transit is restricted in this highway between kilometres 1,188 and 1,206. According to INDECI, Lima is the region that has suffered the most damage in terms of infrastructure: 978 km of affected roads and 619 km destroyed roads. Recovery work is underway. Humanitarian Response

National Response: The national response is led by the Presidency of the Republic and the Chief of Cabinet (a.k.a. ‘Primer Ministro´), who chairs the meetings of the National Council for Disaster Risk Management (CONAGERD). The Ministry of Defence leads the COEN and provides, through INDECI, emergency care in coordination with regional and local governments. On April 6, PCM decreed the State of Emergency for a period of 45 days in the districts of El Ingenio and Changuillo, in the province of Nasca, in the department of Ica, as a result of heavy rainfall (DS 038- 2017-PCM). The same measure was taken on April 7 (DS No. 039-2017-PCM) for the town of Puerto Prado, Rio Tambo district, Satipo province, in the department of Junin, for 60 days. MTC has mobilized a total of 212 machines (dump trucks, front loaders, tanks, backhoes, tractors, among others), in the areas affected by the rains and landslide (huaicos), in order to repair the roads. As of April 7, INDECI has reported that more than 6,234 metric tons of humanitarian aid have been delivered in

Peru: Rainy Season Situation Report No. 6| 4 emergency areas, including 606 metric tonnes of food. In addition, it reports national donations for 1,790 tons divided into; 433 tons of apparel; and 973 tonnes of water. The Armed Forces transported about 29,000 people between March 16 and April 5, through air bridges to serve the regions affected by the emergency. About 6,000 Armed Forces personnel (FFA) have been deployed to help face the emergency. Another 18,000 rescuers belong to the rapid interventions brigades or the reserve and have been supporting emergency operations. Of this total, 1,800 are part of the Search and Rescue Brigades for rapid interventions. More than 900 members of the Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque, and La Libertad Volunteer Fire Corps, as well as a special detachment sent from Lima, continue to provide search and rescue, medical care for the sick and disabled, and humanitarian aid, including the delivery of water and staple food. International Response: A number of countries have sent humanitarian aid bilaterally. According to official information, as of April 6, Peru has received more than 185.3 tonnes of humanitarian goods (including food, shelter, staple goods, grooming and cleaning kits, among others), and more than $4 million dollars and 2.5 million euros donated by countries providing aid. Two United States Air Force cargo planes arrived to Peru on April 6 to support the delivery of humanitarian aid in Chiclayo and Piura. Panama sent 30 tents from the UN Humanitarian Response Storage Centre (UNHRD). Korean cooperation, KOICA, sent 139 tents, and 1,100 canvases.

Temporary Shelters Damages and Needs: ● As of 8 April, INDECI reports 19,419 collapsed houses and 17,517 uninhabitable. 36,936 Some 215,691 houses have been affected. ● INDECI, with information from the regional governments, reports that 47,428 Houses collapsed and people are living in 215 shelters in 9 departments and in Metropolitan Lima and Uninhabitable Lima Provinces. More than 90% are concentrated in La Libertad, Piura, Lambayeque, and Lima.

Response: ● The Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (MVCS) will allocate S/.150 million to purchase

Peru: Rainy Season Situation Report No. 6| 5

temporary housing modules. The reconstruction will be done through the Techo Propio programme.

Gaps/Restrictions/Limitations: ● Assess the conditions of people who live in shelters and obtain information broken down by gender, age, and condition. ● Generate spaces for community participation and two-way communication with displaced families. ● Assess the needs of displaced families outside shelters (collective centres/clusters, spontaneous sites, and safe houses)

Water, basic sanitation and hygiene Damages and Needs: ● The water, basic sanitation, and hygiene sector (WASH) is still a priority in the emergency response. WASH estimates that 567.000 people have no Approx. water and sanitation services in the regions of Piura, La Libertad, Tumbes, Ancash and Lambayeque. 567,000 ● Based on the reports received by UN field teams, the minimum amount of water supply required for emergency settings is being delivered in most of People with no water and the urban and peri-urban areas affected. This includes people in shelters sanitation services in Piura, and tents, in which cases families store water in 40-liter containers. The La Libertad, Tumbes, Ancash problem lies in the quality of this water due to probable contamination and Lambayeque problems during transport (trucks and other means), storage once it is received, or handling for consumption. ● Water supply remains a problem among families in rural areas and among those who have not moved out from the disaster area. In rural areas, where the supply is from wells or collection systems that have been damaged, the supply has been affected because the systems of filters of the systems are plugged by the turbidity of the water. These families receive water in a sporadic and unorganized way, also generating situations of conflict between the affected population. ● Management of excreta becomes a priority, considering that the response to supply latrines and sanitation systems in the context of the emergency is very weak and not sufficiently organized. As a result, in many of the camp sites, excreta disposal is made in the open thus increasing the risk of infectious disease outbreaks. In the case of Piura, there is proposal to implement an emergency bathroom model, which DIRESA has not yet approved. ● Solid wastes are scantly managed. Some municipalities are trying to increase the collection service, but they say they do not have enough economic resources. ● MEF indicates that in the department of Piura both the Regional Government and several municipalities have funds from the mining, oil and customs royalties and that they can use up to 40% of that revenue to deal with the emergency (Emergency Decree 002-2017/EF). The total amounts of the royalty in Piura as of April 7 amounted to USD$ 31,273,240 for the Regional Government and USD$ 93,176,925 for municipal governments.

Response: ● The Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (MVCS) supplied 95,829 m3 of drinking water to the affected and severely affected nationally (17,044 m3 in Tumbes, 13,088 m3 in Piura, 13,238 m3 in Lambayeque, 11,418 m3 in La Libertad, 22,795 m3 in Ica, 10,080 m3 in Lima, and 6,935 m3 in Arequipa). Also, this sector has helped in water drainage tasks in the affected populations using to date 33,538 machine hours (MH) of motor pumps and 860 hours of hydrojets, benefiting 67,093 inhabitants per day. ● The Piura Regional Government (GORE) has confirmed that water supply is more or less guaranteed and that coverage can be expanded with strategic rehabilitation. It has 18 water treatment plants to produce 0.6 m3/h, and that such plants work with water that has low turbidity. It also has 8 production plants of 10lts/h and 1000 family filters. It has also triggered alert on the situation of solid waste. ● In Catacaos, according to IFRC, approximately 80% of the water supply is back to normal, following the rehabilitation of 2 of the 3 targeted wells. IFRC has responded to the shelter of Our Lady of the Shelters (Nuestra Señora de los Albergues), benefiting 166 families by installing a tank there and another tank in San Pablo. In addition, it has a kit 5 (among other elements, it includes 7 tanks of 10,000 lts.); 3 tanks, 1,200 hygiene kits, and 25 turkish-type latrines. IFRC plans to work in the short term in Tambo Grande, Bastones, Indio, and Nueva Esperanza. ● Several NGOs have made specific interventions in Piura. Action Against Hunger (ACH) has carried out

Peru: Rainy Season Situation Report No. 6| 6

different water infrastructure projects in the rural area of Piura and has been accompanying and providing technical assistance to GORE in water supply issues, especially in flocculation. In response, ACH has rehabilitated a water system, benefiting 7,000 people. COOPI has analysed the situation of shelters in Piura, noticing that many of these places will be used for a long time. International Plan is buying 1,000 water and sanitation kits including buckets, chlorine, and pitchers; in addition to performing an intervention on hygiene/grooming habits. ● CARE and PAHO have been accompanying the Regional Directorate of Health of Piura in the implementation of water, sanitation and hygiene actions and have presented a proposal for sanitation standards and bathroom model for shelters. ● UNICEF has supported the Regional Directorate of Health of Piura in the implementation of water, sanitation and hygiene actions with the presentation of proposed sanitation standards for shelters. UNICEF is also leading the bathroom pilot, which should be replicated in all shelters. Actions in the rural area should focus on the rehabilitation of existing systems. The sector will prioritize actions in shelters that are planned to last longer.

Gaps/Restrictions/Limitations: ● Generate information broken down by gender, age, disability, location, and condition to focus the response according to the particular needs. ● Strengthen monitoring and control of water quality. ● Increase the number of water transport and distribution units-the existing ones are not sufficient to respond to the emergency. ● Increase machinery for cleaning communication routes. ● Implement a communication campaign for the treatment of water at household level. ● Implement a solid waste collection strategy for the emergency situation.

Agriculture and Food Security Damage and Needs: ● As of 8 April, INDECI reports 28,583 hectares of lost crops, and 65,606 hectares 59% of affected crops in 23 departments. ● MINAGRI has declared that the total food supply for Lima is insured of the total number of household affected and Response: severely affected in 4 ● MINAGRI launched a plan to reactivate the field and support small farmers with departments are in food an initial S/.138 million to rehabilitate agricultural infrastructure. insecurity situation ● MINAGRI, in coordination with the GORE of Piura, is repairing damaged dikes due to the overflow of the Piura River. In addition, they will send additional pumps (to the 50 available in Piura) to support the work of the GORE and eliminate the water collected in the cultivated land.

Gaps/Restrictions/Limitations: ● Implement a program to restore agricultural production with technical assistance and seed support and rehabilitation of infrastructures ● Generate information broken down by gender, age, disability, location, and condition to focus the response according to the particular needs.

Food Aid and Nutrition Damage and Needs: ● The Preliminary Report on Food Security in Emergencies done by WFP showed Approx. deterioration in the affected and severely affected families: 59% from the total are in food insecurity situation; and 9% are in severe food insecurity: 94,189

Response: hectares of lost or affected crops ● As of April 6, INDECI has transported 606 metric tonnes of food for the needs in

Lambayeque, Ancash, La Libertad and Piura. Moreover, in early April, it has delivered 14.455 buckets, 9.783 large cans, 3.774 pans and 74.011 kitchen utensils such as dishes, bowls, and spoons. ● The Government is preparing a Food Aid Strategy addressed to the population considered top priority by INDECI and a second stage through the Supplementary Food Programmes and Qali Warma Programme, the latter supervised by MIDIS. ● The World Food Programme (PMA) provides technical assistance to the regional governments of Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad through teams of rapid logistic and food aid that have been installed in the portable warehouses in Piura, and trains the municipal staff in registering severely affected people, spotting their needs, and determining the priority in the regions. At central level, WFP support INDECI in implementing the Food Aid Plan by preparing food procurement and distribution plans. ● The Food Security and Emergencies Task Force was set up under the leadership of INDECI and WFP in order to coordinate the responses given by the Government, cooperation institutions, and NGOs. Interventions conducted by 11 organisations have been mapped and 2 coordination meetings have been held. This Task Force also holds coordination meetings in Piura, Lambayeque, and La Libertad. ● Based on the reports received by United Nations field teams, in several shelters and camps, food is being distributed by private concessionaires hired by the State. The Army is expected to take over this task as of the second week of April. SODEXO company, with the support of other private companies and the Army, has implemented a food production centre to prepare and deliver 3,000 servings/day per week for severely affected people and refugees. WFP supports the distribution strategy and nutritional composition of the prepared meals. ● Individual donations from the civil society are still a major contribution to relief the needs of the affected population. ● UNICEF has sent 300 MUAC (mid-upper arm circumference) tapes to MINSA.

Gaps/Restrictions/Limitations:

● 120.000 households in Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, and Lima are in food insecurity situation, and near 10.000 households in these 4 departments are in severe food insecurity situation. More intervention is needed to take care of the food needs of the population in food insecurity situation, especially those in shelters, camps, tents, and in rural isolated areas. ● Food being supplied, especially in shelters, must meet nutritional needs for children and pregnant women, the minimum frequency and the type of preparation, particularly for children aged under 2 who are in risk of malnutrition.

Education Damage and Needs: ● The Ministry of Education (MINEDU) announced students would return to school on April 17 in Piura. This is a huge challenge because as of March 31, based on 1,900,000 data given by the same Ministry, 199 schools in Piura were in severe situation, and many schools are being used as shelters; this mean counting with safe Children and adolescents temporary facilities for classes by that date. with no access to ● 1,844 schools9 are affected in the entire country. schools

Response: ● MINEDU response at this time is mainly focusing on solving school infrastructure issues. The Government will send 80 preconstructed classrooms (out of a total of 216) to Piura this week. This amount is estimated to cover only 25% of the current need; the Government has also sent pedagogical kits. ● MINEDU announced the implementation of the “Escuela cercana” plan to guarantee the continuity of the education service for children and adolescents in the regions wherein school infrastructure was affected. Temporary education spaces will be set up in specially prepared tents in refugee’s shelters and in other places to be used as schools. Specialists from “Escuelas Cercanas” will also provide students and teachers with socioemotional support in order to help them overcome this climate-related experience.

Gaps/Restrictions/Limitations:

Peru: Rainy Season Situation Report No. 6| 8

● The 2 main gaps identified are due to major limitations in accessing education services because the school facilities are damaged and the socioemotional care required by students and teachers to process the emergency and progressively resume their normal lives. ● The education sector will furnish safe alternative spaces in places where the most affected population is located, whether in shelter or camps, as well as in schools that are gradually being put back into operation. This entails training teachers in ensuring water and sanitation systems, developing socioemotional care, furnishing pertinent education materials and supporting the sector’s global coordination with other sectors at all levels of government

Logistics and Telecommunications Damage and Needs: ● As of 8 April, INDECI reported 4,637 km. of highways destroyed and 5,838 km affected nationwide; 301 wrecked bridges, and 493 affected bridges. COEN reported that as of 8 April, transit along highways is limited in several districts of La Libertad.

Response: ● MIDIS announced that by April 15, the transit in Virú, La Libertad, will be reopened whereon a Baily bridge will be installed. La Libertad is one of the regions most affected by rains and overflow of the rivers. ● In Lima, the Ministry of Transportation informed that the road Huaura-Sayan in km 7 has been rehabilitated. ● WFP gives technical assistance on preparing staple food, food requirements, and handling at the storages. In Piura and Chiclayo, WFP is installing portable storages.

Gaps/Restrictions/Limitations:  The distribution of the assistance is hampered by the lack of agreement on the figures on needs by sector and geographical area.

Protection

Damage and Needs: ● Based on official data, 368,460 children have been affected and severely affected 368,460 by rains and floods in Peru; the departments with the largest number of victims are Piura (112,179), Lambayeque (63,679), La Libertad (43,546). Affected boys, girls and ● UNFPA estimates that at least 565 pregnant women will require urgent adolescents (NNA) interventions in the following 30 days as a direct consequence of the emergency. In addition, 5,065 women will have pregnancy complications within the next 9 months. ● UNFPA estimates that 5.650 women in their reproductive age are in risk of suffering sexual assaults as a consequence of the absence of protection in the affected areas. ● It behoves to quickly tackle the psycho-emotional care for affected people, especially children and adolescents by developing a strategy articulated among the ministries as MIMP, Education and MINSA to cope with mental health topics. Safe play areas for children in communities and shelters are needed. ● It is necessary to identify within the affected and severely affected population those who have lost their identity document so that RENIEC can estimate the needs to properly respond.

Response: ● MIMP, supported by UNICEF and other civil society organisations, will carry out the psycho-emotional programme “Juguemos sonríe” in 90 shelters located in the most affected zones. This MIMP programme aims at promoting children’s play and emotional welfare in emergency contexts. MIMP, also supported by UNICEF, fosters actions for strengthening the articulation of the protection system and humanitarian response. ● In Piura, MIMP with the support of UNFPA, will take care of cases of violence in tents installed with teams of the Women's Emergency Centres (CEM) in the 3 most populated shelters. UNICEF has placed in Piura a focal point for child protection aimed at deepening the need analysis in this sector. ● Several NGOs work in the affected zones: World Vision works in 5 regions: Piura, Lambayeque, La

Libertad, Ancash and Lima, to implement child friendly spaces, strengthen child protection tables, and deliver relief aid. Plan International develops psycho-emotional strategies addressed to children in Piura in the districts of Castilla, Tambo Grande, La Arena, and Piura. Save the Children will develop inclusive Child Friendly Spaces mainly in temporary shelters and communities in Piura: districts of Castilla, Catacaos, La Arena, Sechura, Paita. Lambayeque: districts of Morrope, Jayanca, Illimo, Pacora, and Jose Leonardo Ortiz.

Gaps/Restrictions/Limitations:

● Count with accurate and reliable data for decision-making. INDECI reports on shelters and camps show in many cases the capacity of such sites and not the actual number of people staying in those shelters or camps up to that date. ● Statistical data on high vulnerable groups and limited mechanism for the protection thereof (children, the elderly, people with disability and others) in the zones affected by emergencies is still needed. ● Some zones affected by the emergency have increased their level of risks due to physical and sexual violence especially against girls and women in the family and in the community, especially in temporary shelters or roofs; therefore, it is necessary to ensure via protection system mechanisms that affected people receive rapid response.

Early Recovery Damage and Needs: ● There are still huge amounts of contaminated sludge in the houses of Lower Piura, where approximately 30% of the population is currently living, meanwhile 180,000 the rest of the population is staying in the authorised camps along the Pan- American Highway. Households whose ● The Regional Government (GORE) of Piura reported that support for the livelihoods have been cleaning of contaminated sludge and for the removal of household waste is impacted needed, since there is a high demand and they are overworked. ● There is concern about the work that needs to be carried out, especially for the recovery of the livelihoods of the affected population, housing repair, cleaning and return to school. ● The Association of Municipalities (AMPE) proposes promoting long-term articulated work among the local governments, civil society, and the private sector, through new regulatory and development frameworks, in order to strengthen local and regional governments in terms of early recovery. Likewise, it requests the connection and access to previous international experiences, as a fundamental strategy, to determine and adapt with more pertinent interventions and indicators.

Response:

● The Ministry of Labour and Employment Promotion (MTPE) will offer 3,615 temporary jobs for the affected population in Áncash, Arequipa, Cajamarca, Huancavelica, Ica, Tumbes, and Lima provinces, in 42 construction works of retaining walls, embankments, and protection services against floods, canals and roads, among others. ● The Government is responding to the emergency through three stages: Response, restoration, and reconstruction. The main objective in the short term is the restoration of basic services. In the first stage, the priority was to give a rapid response to the emergency, saving lives and evacuating the population at risk. ● UNDP paid a field visit to the city of Piura, to initiate contact with regional and local government authorities, to learn about the needs and priorities they have in recovery and to learn about the contribution of the theme table to those requirements. UNDP has assigned a specialist in recovery issues to the GORE of Piura to support the efforts being made by the COER (Regional Emergency Operations Centre) and to support coordination with local governments. ● The third coordination meeting of the theme table on early recovery was held on April 6 with representatives of the Government, the UN system, and NGOs. Two sub-groups have been established: a) cleaning of contaminated sludge, solid waste, and debris and b) cash-for-work programmes, emergency employment and livelihoods. ● INEI reported on the collection of information cards with social variables in the Huarmey area, which can be used to carry out a pilot plan to support the area.
