EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The monsoon in June 2013 arrived almost two weeks earlier than expected in Uttarakhand. From June 15 to 17, 2013, cloud bursts 6 and heavy (64.5 - 124.4 mm) to very heavy (124.5 – 244.4 mm) rainfall hit several parts of the higher reaches of the Himalayas. This unprecedented rainfall resulted in a sudden increase in water levels, giving rise to flash floods in the Mandakini, Alakananda, Bhagirathi and other river basins, also causing extensive landslides at various locations. Continuous rains caused Chorabari Lake to rise and the Lake’s weak moraine barrier gave way and a huge volume of water along with large boulders came down the channel to the east, devastating the towns of Kedarnath, Rambara, Gaurikund and others in its wake. According to official sources, over 900,000 people have been affected by the event in Uttarakhand. The districts of Bageshwar, Chamoli, Pithoragarh, Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi were most affected. This region is one of the most important pilgrimage circuits in India. Since disaster coincided with the peak tourist pilgrimage season, it significantly increased the number of casualties, missing, and affected population. A total of 580 human lives were lost; over 5,200 people are reported missing7; 4,200 villages were affected; 9,200 cattle/livestock were lost; about 3,320 houses were fully damaged; about 995 public buildings were damaged; close to 9,000 km of roads were affected; and 85 motor bridges and 140 bridle bridges were damaged. This event also left over 70,000 tourists and 100,000 local inhabitants stranded in the upper reaches of the State. Landslides and toe erosion by the sediment loaded rivers damaged roads/highways at many locations and washed away multiple bridges (steel girder, beam, and suspension/cable bridges). Traffic was disrupted along all national highways and link roads in the region, along with the disruption of telecommunication lines, all adding to the impact of the disaster. Many hotels, rest houses and shops around the temple in Kedarnath were completely destroyed. The World Bank (the Bank) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), upon receiving a request from the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), GoI, fielded a Joint Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (JRDNA) Mission that visited the State from July 29 to August 07, 2013. In collaboration with the Government of Uttarakhand (GoUk), the JRDNA Mission undertook a multi- sectoral assessment of the damages and laid the groundwork for an immediate recovery and reconstruction needs framework. The assessment relied upon the damage and loss assessment carried out by the State government. The unprecedented event has severely impacted all the communities that are scattered in the mountainous terrain. The report estimated the cost of damage reconstruction to be about US$661 million. Based on the findings of the JRDNA, the DEA, GoUk, ADB and the Bank agreed on a framework for assistance in the disaster recovery and future risk reduction.
