BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE 1.1 Background Heavy rains brought by the tropical cyclone Felleng on 27th January 2013 combined with a high tide, resulted in severe flooding and caused extensive devastation to coastline areas and widespread structural damages to infrastructure (roads, schools, bridges, houses) mostly in the eastern areas of Mahé Island. Total rainfall recorded for 27th and 28th January amounted to 270 mm, which is 68% of the average rainfall normally experienced in the month of January. The districts lying on the eastern coasts of Mahé Island were the worst hit, prompting the government to declare the three districts along the east coast of Mahé Island, namely Point Larue, Anse Aux Pins and Au Cap, as an emergency disaster zone on 27th January 2013. Heavy rains also caused flooding on La Digue Island. Preliminary damage and needs assessment conducted by the government estimates that USD 9.3 million is needed for response and recovery activities. The President of Seychelles submitted a request to the Bank dated 29th January 2013 for assistance in his government’s disaster relief efforts. 1.2 Justification for Emergency Assistance The present Emergency Assistance proposal is in accordance with the Bank Group Policy Guidelines and is consistent with the current Bank Group provisions under the Revised Policy Guidelines for Emergency Relief Assistance, and General Regulations of the Special Relief Fund (ADB/BD/WP/2008/211). The request falls under emergency criteria item (i) emergency situation arising from Natural Disasters - droughts, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, landslides, volcanoes, and crop pest invasions. The emergency situation is beyond the capacity of the government and its agencies to handle without significant support from the international community. 2 OVERVIEW OF THE APPEAL FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE 2.1 Flash flooding, landslides and debris inundated houses, blocked roads and caused significant losses and damages to property and other infrastructures. Fallen trees and landslides caused electricity outage and blocked roads in some parts of the country. However as of 1st February 2013, the Government had managed to resume electricity supply in all affected areas and cleared all blocked roads. In some areas, water was up to waist-level or higher, flooding houses, properties and damaging infrastructures. Hillsides eroded causing mudslide that pushed houses off their foundations, filled houses or even destroyed some completely. Heavy rainfall and runoffs also caused small streams and big rivers to overflow, resulting in flooding of low lying areas and roads. A total of 1,000 families, mainly on the two islands of Mahé (400 families) and La Digue (600 families), have been affected by the floods and landslides caused by the heavy rains. Over 400 houses were damaged and some people were forced to evacuate their homes. The Government evacuated displaced families to five temporary accommodation centres where they were provided with non-food items (NFIs) and food support. 2.2 Four schools, three primary schools, one from each district of Anse Aux Pins, Pointe Larne, Cascade and one secondary school in Pointe Larue, with a total enrolment of 2,341, were flooded and inundated with debris. The primary schools service the whole district while the secondary school

DC Sailing Community use only. Not for resale. 1 Observations of the Southern Indian Ocean Piracy and Armed Robbery General information The British Maritime and Coastguard Agency has brought to the attention of shipowners, masters and crews, the risk of acts of piracy on the high seas or armed robbery against ships at anchor, off ports or when underway through the territorial waters of certain coastal states. The UKMTO (United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations) has established a designated Voluntary Reporting Area (VRA) covering all the waters of Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean S of Suez and Straits of Hormuz to 10°S and 78°E. The High Risk Area (HRA) is an area within the UKMTO VRA where it is considered there is a higher risk of piracy and within which self-protective measures are most likely to be required. The high risk area is bounded by: ● Parallel 15°N in the Red Sea. ● The territorial waters off the coast of E Africa at latitude 05°S. Then to positions: ○ 10°00.OON 60°00.00E. ○ 00°00.OON 55°00.00E. ○ 14°00.OON 60°00.00E. ● Then a bearing 310° to the territorial waters of the Arabian Peninsula. Note that our sailing grounds within the Inner Seychelles Island Group do not fall within the above boundary coordinates and are not considered at risk from piracy.
