Through a series of meetings, site visits and interviews in affected areas in Mon and Kayin State, the team has made a number of observations and recommendations, which were presented to the stakeholders in Myanmar and are summarized below. Specific recommendations made for the visited townships are given in the following pages. Observations • Disaster management in Mon and Kayin State is very well organized. The response to the flooding was effective. • Spatial planning – that prevent new developments in flood prone areas - is not in place. • Available infrastructure (capacity, expertise, data, IT) to support decision making on the development of flood protection measures is insufficient. Recommendations • Make use of open and freely available data sets to improve early warning and make a head start with the development of flood hazard and risk maps. • National organizations must ensure that relevant information (for example on expected extreme rainfall) reaches the townships in time. • A capacity needs assessment resulting in a capacity building plan is required for all levels in the administration. Capacity building must at least include: o How to collect and interpret data and quality control o Principles of flood hazard and flood risk mapping and making it practical at state and township level o Flood-proof constructions in townships o International best practices to deal with land ownership challenges in relation to flood protection and put this in context of Myanmar o Involve Myanmar universities and students in collaboration with Dutch universities, knowledge institutes and companies in surveys, mapping and studies, to support the development of water officials for the future • Infrastructure (IT, equipment, expertise, etc.) must be implemented to execute discharge & sediment measurements, derive rating curves, quality control • Strengthen collaboration between disaster management and water management departments, in particular in terms of (flood-based) spatial planning, infrastructure and protection measures. • Prepare a roadmap how to arrive to a Decision Support System framework. This DSS enables evidence-based decision making and compare strategies and scenarios. • Dredging and shortcutting river bends is not always an effective or sustainable measure for flood risk reduction. Measures that interfere with river dynamics, must be carefully examined on their effectiveness.

This number increased, by the middle of August, to more than 120.000 people for whole Myanmar. The river basins that were mostly affected were Bilin river basin and Thanlwin river basin in Mon State, with Ye town as the most severely affected urban area. 90% of the township area was flooded and over 7000 people stayed in refugee camps. Also in Mon state, many bridges and roads have been damaged by flash floods. A landslide occurred in Thae Phyu Kone village in the Paung township with (as was reported later) 73 casualties. The landslide occurred at 08:00 in the morning of 9th August 2019. In the weekend of August 10, VP 2 (Vice president 2, Chairperson of National Disaster Management committee) and Minister for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Ministry (Deputy Chair of National Disaster Management committee) have visited the areas affected by flooding and landslides. 293.5 million kyats (US$194,338) on food and basic items for evacuees was reserved. Figure 1 Bilin river catchment and Thanlwin river lower catchment On the 13th of August, a message from the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Directorate of Water Resources and Improvement of River Systems, was sent to the Dutch government with a request for technical support in the form of a DRR mission (see Annex D). In the request for support it is stated that “We’d like to have technical support from your Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Team on the potential flood and landslide locations at the recently suffered locations and short-term, medium- term and long-term measures for Flood mitigation and land slide prevention to avoid potential losses by flood and land slide in those areas.” Disaster management in Myanmar is divided into four stages: the normal (non-disaster) stage, the warning stage, the disaster response stage, and the rehabilitation stage. The Disaster Risk Reduction action plan from 2017 defined many priority actions with regard to different disasters like earthquakes, DRR-Team Scoping Mission Kayin & Mon State, Final Report, 6 December 2019 1 cyclones, floods and landslides. Three actions are directly related to flooding. The following is relevant to mention in relation to the observations of the DRR mission to Kayin and Mon State: The action defined as ‘Tsunami, floods, cyclone and storm surge risk assessment in particular focusing on Ayeyarwady Region and Rakhine State’ led by DMH and DDM in the co-lead. In 2017 the focus was in particular on these areas, Mon and Kayin State were not mentioned so also funding for flood protection to these areas is limited. For more information on Water and Disaster Management in Myanmar see Annex J. The long term objective of the DRR-mission is to contribute to the reduction of the impact of flooding in the river basins of the Bilin and Thanlwin (sometimes also called Salween) catchment see Figure 1. To that effect, we need to understand the catchment behavior (hydrology, hydraulics, morphology, structures, tidal impact). Figure 2: Areas visited during the DRR mission in coloured dots (yellow, green, red, white). For bigger maps of each area see Chapter 2 ‘Field Visits’. Geographical focus includes recent flooded areas: 1. Bilin river catchment/basin area (Bilin township), 2. Lower Thanlwin river catchment/basin (Mawlamyine city, Hpa-An, Kyaikmaraw township) and Ye township see Figure 2. The objectives for this mission were: • To identify the drivers and key causes of the floods • To identify non-structural measures to mitigate the impact of flood, by improving the disaster management operations, early warning, enhancing awareness • To formulate measures (no regret, midterm, long term) to improve river basin management and flood protection as part of an integrated sustainable solution, locally as well as on a larger scale. • To assess to what extent further capacity building within the agencies involved is required to implement the recommendations.

Stay at home as much as you can: State Counsellor The following is the full text of the televised speech of State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, in her capacity as Chairperson of the National-Level Central Committee on Prevention, Control and Treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), reporting the updated situation of the Coronavirus infection in Myanmar. Citizens of the of the Union of My- anmar, I would like to give you the latest news of COVID-19 in Myanmar. Out of fourteen cases, checked and confirmed positive and hospitalized (till today), one passed away this morning. The case (suf- fering from CA Nose) had come back from Australia via Singapore recently. Based on the nature of COVID-19, those older adults suffering from various diseases with low resistance are more at high risk and vulnerable. The risk is higher if they do not get prompt medical attention. So if you are having early warning signs, like fever, dry cough, and breathing difficul- ties, get medical attention immediately. The threat of COVID-19 is alarming because it spreads very fast. That is why a suspected case must be quarantined so that he or she could be separated from others and so that others would not get infected.

  • The Road Connectivity of Hpa-An Township, Kayin State
    J. Myanmar Acad. Arts Sci. 2020 Vol. XVIII. No.5B THE ROAD CONNECTIVITY OF HPA-AN TOWNSHIP, KAYIN STATE Myat Yazar Soe1, Naw Paw Pale Wah2 Abstract This paper tries to present “The Road Connectivity of Hpa-An Township, Kayin State” from geographical point of view. The quality of life and economy of society rely on good transport system. In Hpa-an Township, there are four modes of transportation: road, waterway, railway and airway. After construction of river-cross bridges on Thanlwin River, motor road has become the most important mode of transportation in Hpa-an Township. All village tracts within Hpa-an Township have no direct motor routes between them. Road density of Hpa-an Township is only more than 0.12 km per square km. Apart from Myotma administrative units, most of the administrative units are characterized by minimum efficiency of road network in terms of connectivity. The node has more connectivity in Hpa-an Township is (V5) Hpa-an Town and the nodes have less connectivity are (V1 and V16) Duyinseik and Mizine. The main objectives of the paper are to explore the modes of transportation in Hpa-an Township, to examine road networks of the study area and to find out the degree of road connectivity of road network of Hpa-an Township. Degree of road connectivity is calculated by mean of Connectivity Matrix. To present the paper, secondary data were mainly applied and field observation was thoroughly done. Connectivity Matrix is mainly used in presenting Connectivity of Hpa-an Township. Keywords: Connectivity, Connectivity Matrix, Road density, nodes Introduction Transport is one of the fundamental pillars upgrading economics of the area and it gives positive effects on health of the given area (Dostál & Adamec).
