1. Executive Summary:
NGOs positioned themselves in Andhra Pradesh ahead of Cyclone Hudhud, having followed the intensification of the Tropical Cyclone from the 8th of October 2014. Drawing on learning from Cyclone Phailin responses a year earlier, a joint assessment process was agreed prior to landfall, and assessment teams started moving to the field immediately after the cyclone to carry out the Joint Rapid Need Assessment (JRNA) using standardized formats and a predefined methodology. Wind speeds reached approximately 195km/h, and landfall took place near Vishakhapatnam. Initial assessment teams prioritized districts in the North of Andhra Pradesh. The humanitarian impact of the cyclone was concentrated mostly in Vishakhapatnam district, with pockets of need in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam also. The primary hazards that affected communities included cyclonic winds up to 195km/h, tidal surge of 1.2m, heavy rain of up to 240mm in isolated areas and flooding of isolated areas near rivers and canals, mostly in agricultural areas. Flooding and debris resulted in some areas being inaccessible in the first few days after the cyclone.
The findings of the JRNA assessment are: Major shelter damage has been seen in 17% of assessed villages, and minor damage in 41% of assessed villages. The majority of households in 93% of assessed villages practice open defecation, and less than 50% of the assessed population have access to safe drinking water as 73% of assessed villages indicated piped water supply is affected, and many ground water sources have high salinity. The cyclone has had an impact on food stocks in 88% of assessed villages. Households in 83% of assessed villages have reduced the quantity of food intake. Only 61% of villages indicate that most households are able to cook food after the cyclone, with adequate fuel and utensils. Markets were affected in the short term in 49% of assessed villages, in 66% of assessed villages less than 25% of households can afford to purchase food post cyclone, as a result from food price increases in 98% of villages assessed.
Emerging humanitarian needs: Food Assistance: address urgent needs and gaps for marginal groups, either through dry rations, along with utensils/ fuel for food preparation. Identify groups excluded from relief assistance being provided by the government, and considering that rations to non-fishing communities is less and households that don’t have Aadhaar cards/ ration cards are not receiving relief assistance. WASH: provision of safe drinking water in areas where pipes are damaged and water logging has occurred. Carry out water testing and disinfection. Shelter: Immediate temporary shelter support and medium term assistance with shelter repair and reconstruction. Households also need support with NFIs (including educational materials).

2. Background:
Cyclone HUDHUD made landfall on the 12th of October 2014, between 12h00 and 13h00 near Vishakhapatnam with sustained wind speeds of 170-180 km/h, and gusting to 195 km/h (GDACS reports gusts of up to 212km/h). The intensity of cyclonic winds prevailed for 6 hours after landfall. Heavy rainfall affected west and east Godavari, Vishakapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam of North Andhra Pradesh and Ganjam, Gajapati, Koratpur, Rayagada, Nabarangpur, Malkangiri, Kalakhandi, Phulbani districts of South Odisha. The peak storm surge took place during high tide (1.1m) and was estimated at 1.2 meters above astronomical tide, resulting in some inundation of low-lying areas of Vishakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts at the time of landfall. Chhattisgarh, adjoining east Madhya Pradesh and interior Odisha, East Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar have experienced rainfall as the system moved northwards and further inland. The Cyclone has caused 1) Wind storm and storm surge and 2) Heavy rain, flooding and water logging.
Local authorities have estimated that up to 70% of trees in were uprooted and approximately 70% of power lines damaged in Vishakhapatnam. As of 20th October 2014, 46 deaths from Andhra Pradesh (29 in Visakhapatnam and 15 in Vizianagaram, and 2 in Srikakulam) have been reported. HUDHUD has predominantly caused damages to kutcha houses and livelihoods.
Chhattisgarh, adjoining east Madhya Pradesh and interior Odisha, East Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar has experienced rainfall. Over 300 houses were damaged and several persons were injured in Jharkhand and 5 deaths and 12 injured has been reported from Rautpur village & Wani villlage of Manigachi Block in Darbhanga district of Bihar. The weather system then moved northwards into Nepal, causing blizzards that lead to the death of 39 a further persons. In total the weather system lead to the deaths of at least 90 persons.
Humanitarian Profile (initial estimates)
The water receded fairly quickly, transportation networks have been restored, and communication networks are mostly functioning (10 days post disaster). Basic commodity prices rose after the cyclone. Communities experienced significant crop losses, damage to productive assets and household NFIs. There was little impact on Pucca houses, and therefore the impact of the cyclone on shelter was limited to vulnerable pockets. The most affected are those living in low lying areas, exposed to the hazards, and experiencing reduced livelihood opportunity or the loss of productive assets. Social vulnerabilities within pockets of the affected population may result from targetting of government relief and exclusion from compensation packages for landless households. The government response is strong, and further assessment will need to determine whether determined humanitarian needs are met through local response mechanisms, and what gaps remain.

3. Relief Measures by Government:
The National Crisis Management Committee (NCMC) met under the Chairmanship of the Cabinet Secretary Ajit Seth and reviewed the preparedness for relief and rescue operations in the wake of the cyclonic storm. Andhra Pradesh government has identified 356 villages in 59 Mandals of the four districts as cyclone- affected. More than 300 relief camps were opened. NDRF deployed 42 rescue and relief teams for rescue operations. They also cleared felled trees, electricity and communication poles and hoardings from roads in the affected areas. 500 field staff and 100 engineers are working day-and-night to restore normalcy and telecom services. 45,000 electric poles would be installed to restore power, of this, 2000 poles have reached Vizag and restoration works are being carried out. Support was also promised by the Tamil Nadu CM. The statistics revealed that 2250 km length of roads were damaged in the state. Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) said in a release that bus services to Visakhapatnam have been restored. The armed forces assisted the civil administration on rescue and relief operations, deploying four teams to Vishakhapatnam 4 teams to Srikakulam (Tikli and Echerla). The Army established a Disaster Management Cell at Air Defence College, Gopalpur. Six helicopters have been positioned in the Naval base at Visakhapatnam. A P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft based at INS Rajali in Arakkonam was used to carry out damage assessment of coastal areas. The Navy was appointed as the lead agency among the armed forces for relief and response operations that was code-named 'Op Lehar'. Five diving teams dispatched to Srikakulam, 10 teams to low-lying areas in and around Vishakhapatnam for rescue and relief operations. 15 satellite phones are arranged and 689 swimmers are positioned across 5 districts. 54 boats have been kept ready (30 of them are naval boats). Government constituted special teams to identify the affected families and enumerate the losses for further assistance. (15th October) The East Coast Railway and South Central Railway cancelled over 70 trains while short terminating or diverting many others in view of cyclonic storm Hudhud. The PM announced Rs 1,000 Crore worth of aid for the cyclone-affected areas in Andhra Pradesh by the Centre. Aid of Rs 500,000 will be given to kin of deceased and Rs 50,000 will be given to the injured along with a provision of 25 kg rice, 1 kg sugar and 5 litres of kerosene. The government has announced (as per GO MS 9) 50 kgs of rice, 5 kgs of kerosene, 2 kgs of dal, 1 kg sugar, ½ kg red chilli powder, 1kg tamarind, ½ kg salt, 2 kgs potato and 3kgs onion for fishing communities. For other affected communities the relief is reduced to 25 kgs of rice. Andhra Pradesh has formed five special teams to monitor health, restoration, relief, power and sanitation.

4. Inherent capacities- traditional knowledge:
Andhra Pradesh is a great cultivator of rice, which is a major food crop and staple food of the state. Also, state has a huge plantation of cashew, coconut, pineapple, banana, tamarind plantation, sugarcane, vegetables, palm oil trees, horticulture plantations and NTF produces which is massively affected by recent disaster and need to be supported. It was observed that community residing near coastal region of Srikakulam are experiencing disaster every year but this year cyclone is severe and massive. Community have an inherent capacity of mobilizing people with the support of local organizations and Self Help Group, which reduces the number of death and impact of cyclone. Rural community in Andhra Pradesh have good linkages with bank, which can be utilized as an option for Cash Transfer Program. Local CSOs are well networked and work extensively with community on multiple sectors within the state.

Page 6 of 25 5. Field Assessment:
The Joint Rapid Needs Assessment (JRNA) covered 41 villages from the worst affected districts of Andhra Pradesh. Out of 41 villages assessed by the team, water level was more than 3 feet in 7 villages and 1 to 3 feet in 29 villages. Also water has entered within the villages in 37 villages and into the houses in 10 villages.
Note: the findings of the JRNA are based on the field assessments in the 41 assessed villages within the timeline of the assessment and are representative of the entire response geography during the same timeline. The response efforts may have changed the situation by the time of compilation and release of the report.
6. Sector wise needs emerging
6.1 Food Security, Nutrition and Livelihood a) Food Security and Livelihoods
Situation Analysis (Based on secondary data and field observations/reports) Food grains/food stocks including dry fish got damaged in the affected districts of Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam Around 4.5 lakh acres of crop was lost due to flooding. Depending on the food relief (Cooked food and Dry ration) provided by the Government and Philanthropists. Discrimination in distribution of food packets, milk, biscuits and ration was reported in many places Agricultural crops, equipment and assets/livestock have been affected / damaged and hence the farmers are unable to meet their livelihood needs immediately. Also, severe scarcity of drinking water and fodder for cattle is reported In coastal area of Srikakulam district, fisher man have experienced livelihood loss due to damage of boats and nets
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are: 84% of the assessed community reported that they have lost food stocks due to cyclone, out of which 34% have experienced severe damage of food stocks. Of these39% of villages reported moderate losses, and 29% low impact. Assessment teams were concerned that community members do not have access to sufficient food especially vulnerable groups (SCs, STs, children under 5, Elders, Pregnant and lactating women) are suffering due to lack of access to sufficient daily nutritious food. 89% of the communities reported that their remaining food stock will last for less than a week. This will result in severe food scarcity and less consumption especially by women and children In addition, 84% of the assessed villages reported that there is significant decrease in the total amount of food that they are eating post cyclone and 98% of communities are affected by increases in food prices. In the assessed community, the impact of cyclone was most experienced by non-agriculture day labour sector- (59%) of villages affected, followed by fisher folks (52%) and then by other agriculture day labour (34%), artisans, petty shops, small scale entrepreneur (30%). 34% of villages assessed indicated that there had been severe crop damage. It was observed that there is a loss of livelihood especially cashew, coconut, pineapple, banana, tamarind plantation, sugarcane, vegetables, palm oil trees, horticulture plantations and NTF produces like coffee plantation are completely wiped out b) Accessibility of Nutritional Programme
Access to nutritional services at community level is a major concern considering that 89% of SAM children do not have access to referral mechanism and 86% don’t have access to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre), which is quite serious as management of SAM children is critical during an emergency situation and need treatment urgently without delay either at community level (SAM without medical complications) or at facility level (SAM with medical complications).

Map 2 : Joint Rapid Needs Assessment Areas
Page 8 of 25 Assessment Report | Cyclone Hud Hud | October 2014
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are: 68% of Anganwadi centres are not affected by disasters but there is a reduction in functionality of nutrition services due to unavailability of food stocks and dry ration. 43% of the mothers reported that there is no safe and private place for breastfeeding their children who are below 6 months, which will severely affect Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices and may result into top feeding, reducing exclusive breastfeeding. ICDS centre are not functional in the affected areas, although ICDS has been ordered to open immediately, it will take some time before becoming fully functional as all the food commodities (oil, rice, eggs etc.) has been lost/damaged. 54% of villages indicated that there were challenges relating to food preparation due to damage of cooking utensils/ loss of food stocks in the affected areas. There is a need for further nutritional assessment, as reduced availability of diverse foods, reduced consumption at the household level, increase in market prices, poor sanitation conditions of displaced populations and loss of assets and stocks may lead to a deterioration of nutritional status. c) Market Analysis
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages)are: Hudhud cyclone resulted in reduced access to and functionality of markets, reduced food stocks and increased prices. About 17% of the assessed villages indicated that they could not afford to purchase food from the market. 49% indicated that less than 25% of the community was able to purchase food. Only 7% of villages indicated that most of the community were able to purchase food. 66% of the community reported that market are partially functional Almost 48% of the respondents said that the markets are running low on food stocks and communities surveyed indicated there were increases in food prices In 54% of fishing villages, women are involved in purchases, whereas in 71% of agricultural communities, women purchase items for the household.

Figure 4: Impact of cyclone on food stocks d) Livestock
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages)are: 8,742 animal deaths were reported 16% of villages have expressed concerns over livestock and reported loss/death of their livestock 25% of villages assessed indicated that the availability of fodder for domestic animals has been affected
Urgent Needs (Food Security, Nutrition and Livelihood sector) Food assistance as 90% of communities not having access to food beyond one week, with further analysis the gap period where food insecurity is likely, and what needs are remaining after government food assistance. Cash based assistance may assist with the recovery of local markets enhancing liquidity. Tribal areas are yet to be reached by the aid and hence immediate support for livelihoods early recovery is needed In tribal areas where the crops are damaged, livelihoods are affected and food security is an issue, alternative short term livelihood options are needed through cash transfer/ CFW for both agriculture and non-agriculture based labour. Fishermen have faced damage to their boats so they need immediate money assistance to repair boats, with emphasis on mechanisms to assist daily wage earners working in the fishing industry who are unable to work. There is an urgent need of safe baby spaces for breastfeeding, can be met by providing baby tents for establishing baby friendly spaces
6.2 WASH:
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are: The major sources of water supply are open well (24%), pond/ open bodies of water (5%, pipe water (22%) and tube well (54%). In 88% of villages, piped water had been affected. In most affected places due to inundation and clogging 51% of communities indicate that the majority of households have limited access to safe drinking water, while 22% indicate that some are without access. Only 22% have only a few or 7% have no access to safe drinking water. Only 49% of communities indicated that access to safe water is available to marginal groups. There is need for water containers in 64% of the assessed villages.
Page 10 of 25 Assessment Report | Cyclone Hud Hud | October 2014
Sanitation practices are almost the same pre and post disaster, with 93% of the surveyed villages predominantly practicing open defecation, in fishing communities this is as much as 100%. More than half of the households have no access to toilet facilities for both male and female household members. Major concerns of 63% of villages relate to solid waste management, and 61% of villages are concerned about wastewater. In 93% of villages surveyed, women use cloth for menstrual hygiene, in 32% of villages women use sanitary napkins.
Urgent needs: A growing, number of people do not have access to safe water are in urgent need of a range of WASH support, including clean water, storage containers, hygiene kits, purification materials and various WASH NFIs. WASH needs are particularly acute in Vishakhapatnam city, neighbouring affected villages and in Srikakulam. There is also need for soap, and diapers for children. Poor menstrual hygiene – use of cloths mostly now needs an intervention strategy Bathing spaces and toilets are in short numbers and hence a problem in relief camps and in water logged areas. A WASH Surveillance grid needs to be put up urgently to alert any disease outbreak especially in the close urban pockets and the remote areas as both these clusters are in high risk of rapid spread.
6.3 Shelter:
Situation Analysis Most of the houses are Kaccha- mud houses and some are Pucca houses, which got damaged during storm surge. Affected community took shelter in the schools so schools were closed during that period (For a week or more than that).
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages)are: Affected community staying in shelters is vulnerable to mosquitos, snakes and darkness. 41% of villages surveyed indicated that they shelters were partially damaged in their village, 17% of villages indicated that they had fully damaged shelters in their village. Need for non-food items have been felt in 43% villages of assessed villages during JRNA. 7% villages of total assessed 41 villages had complete shelter damages.

Mosquito nets are required for both displaced population as well as those who are living in their houses.
Urgent Needs: Temporary shelter materials, tarpaulins, plastic sheeting and ground sheets/ mats. Shelter repair materials for partially and fully damaged shelters. Mosquito nets. NFIs, including torches/ solar lamps, blankets and utensils. Need of new shelters in few villages and shelter repair in some villages.

Figure 6: Approximate proportion of households with immediate shelter needs
6.4 Health:
Situational Analysis: As per secondary data, there are 738 pregnant women of 7 to 9 months gestation including those nursing care in the districts assessed. Drugs and essential medical reserves have been affected; the supplies in general are in shortage and in medical camps due to lack of coordination and effective supply chain management for medical camps. The key reasons for non-functionality of health facilities are due to lack of human resource and skilled health care providers, interrupted drugs supply and other essentials and also due to inaccessibility of health facilities by community accessing the facilities.
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are: The overall health infrastructure and system in AP region is moderately affected. There were 11 PHCs assessed across 3 districts in A.P. and only 2 PHCs been severely affected. Only 1 ambulance had been damaged Out of total 23 health camps organized, 19 (83%) of them got affected due to waterlogging. Equitable access to health facilities is a big concern. The lack of access to healthcare from PHC, AWC, Rural Health Providers, attributed to facilities being affected and reduced staffing levels as staff and their families themselves being affected. In almost all PHCs assessed, majority of them (96%) of the damaged portion could be restored. The total health facilities assessed is 32 and of these, 25 of them would be functional within 15 days (78%); and 5 (15%) of them would become functional within 30 days while 7% of them could become functional beyond 30 days period. There are limited underlying health concerns in population assessed except cases of malnutrition and communicable diseases in selective pockets of Srikakulam and Vishakhapatnam villages as more than 90% of the village did not have such health concerns. Health camps are concentrated in urban pockets of assessed districts, the appropriate and equitable health services not available to the rural during the time of the assessment. Health surveillance is largely missing. The organised and unorganised medical camps are not in coordination loop and information on health surveillance and utilisation status is not being maintained. Poor water, sanitation and hygiene conditions are increasing health risks for spread of communicable diseases and epidemics. The appropriate measures for information and awareness of people to prevent communicable diseases are not in place. Most pregnant women deliver in the private or the Govt. Hospitals, large number of which are affected and thereby increasing the load on facilities that are operational. The routine immunization and neo born care is also under pressure in existing health facilities. SRH services, RH supplies, emergency obstetric and new-born care, prevention of gender based violence and prevention of HIV/AIDs. High incidence of UTI reported among women by Anganwadi workers. All 3 districts teams reported eye infections (maybe conjunctivitis etc.). The King George Hospital / Victoria hospital houses 3 patients per bed during the few days before rainfall and could not cater to people. No preparedness for dealing with the health issues.

6.5 Protection:
Situation Analysis: During the assessment, cases of looting, theft and breaking of law & order have been reported in few villages. Many villages don’t have left safe and private bathing places & latrines for women.
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are: On the basis of Joint Rapid Need Assessment collected from various sources such as affected families, children, govt. officials at local level etc. broader information has been gathered to provide idea about needs of people there in the community. Villagers have been seen pro-active in helping each other in spite of the discrimination, which is otherwise observed in non-disaster times. Around 57% of villages were having children in state of stress and no. of people need counselling and psychosocial support in 55% of 41 villages. In the affected villages, most of the pregnant women, children, aged and persons with disability relocated in the neighbourhood habitations situated on high land areas. Lack of adequate and physical protection has been felt in many villages. Lack of sufficient hygiene material for women especially in Srikakulam and Vizianagaram Districts. Private bathing spaces and latrines have been found in few villages of Vishakhapatnam District. During the storm surge and subsequent floods, some people in few villages lost their legal documents. Large scale of displacement has been incurred which is again a huge challenge in the restoring back the normal lives.

6.6 Education:
Situation Analysis: Children under 12 are lack of nutrition food due to no mid-day meal in the schools. Adolescent girls are at risk of privacy. No sufficient study material is available with children.
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are: At the time of the JRNA Assessment, 73% schools were used as shelters whereas 35 primary schools and 17 high schools stopped functioning due to cyclone storm in all the three assessed districts Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Vishakhapatnam. There was decrease in proportion of both girl and boy students found from before to after disaster. All schools became functional within 15 days. 10% of schools lost their study material during the disaster situation. In all the affected districts, most of the children, teachers and community people reported that due to schools being dysfunctional, the mid-day meal has been stopped which further has large impact on nutritional condition of children.
