BACKGROUND 1.1. Introduction The multi-agency Flood Task Force (FTF) issued a Flood Alert in June 2019 based on the National Meteorology Agency (NMA) forecast for 2019 kiremt season to raise awareness of anticipated flood risk in western, central and south western parts of the country. According to the NDRMC Early Warning Monitoring information, during the months of May and June 2019, 38 woredas (in seven regions) were affected by flood forcing 42,306 families to displacement, significant number of livestock death, and property damage, i.e. crop, houses, schools and other vital infrastructure. There are also reports of significant damage such as destruction of 150 houses and other key infrastructures. In addition, there were reports of flooding which affected 13 schools in the above mentioned woredas. Afar and SNNPR were the most affected. The National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC)-led FTF prepared this flood Contingency Plan (CP) in order to mitigate the adverse impacts of current and anticipated floods. The Task Force will prepare flood response plan based on the information on the ground and NMA monthly forecast. The NMA forecast for 2019 kiremt which formed the basis for the development of the Alert and this CP, warns that Heavy rainfall leading to flood is anticipated in the western parts of Ethiopia including western Amhara, Gambella, Benishangul- Gumuz, most parts of SNNP, and western Oromia. This Contingency Plan is therefore provides flood-related requirements by sector for the kiremt (June to September 2019) period, including other mitigation and preparedness efforts. Tercile rainfall probability for kiremt season, 2019 1.2 Forecast for kiremt 2019 The NMA identified the year 1993 the best analogue year. The outlook indicates that the season (June to September 2019) will be characterized by the following phenomenon: Western parts of the country, i.e. Benishangul Gumuz, Gambella, Western Amhara, Western Oromia, and Western highlands of SNNPR anticipated to receive dominantly above normal rainfall Eastern and parts of Central Ethiopia, western Somali, and southern Oromia are expected to receive dominantly normal rainfall. Afar, most of Amhara, Northern parts of Somali and Tigray are expected to experience normal to below normal rainfall during the season. Occasionally, heavy rainfalls are likely to cause Flash and/or River floods in low laying areas 1.3 Forecast for July 2019 The month of July, is normally a period when the kiremt rains strengthen and expand to most meher- growing areas. The rains normally increase in intensity mainly in the western half of the country and in some places the heavy rain is leading to Flash flood and is accompanied by lighting and hailstorms. 4 | P a g e According to the NMA forecast for July 2019, normal to above-normal rainfall is expected in most parts of East and West Wollega, Jimma, Illubabor, all Shewa zones, East and West Hararghe, Arsi and Bale zones in Oromia; Gambella; North and South Wollo, North Shewa, East and West Gojjam, North and South Gonder, Awi and Bahir Dar Zuria zones in Amhara; Tigray; Benishangul Gumuz; Hadiya, Gurage, Keffa, Bench Maji, Wolayita, Sidama, Dawuro and Gamo Gofa zones in SNNP Regions and Addis Ababa. Whereas Jijiga and Siti zones in Somali; Hareri and Dire Dawa City Administration and some parts in Segen People and South Omo zones in SNNP regions will likely receive near normal rainfall during the month. The other parts of the country mostly remain dry during the month. 2. ASSUMPTIONS FOR THE CONTINGENCY PLAN Looking at the weather forecast for 2019 kiremt season and analyzing the preparedness and response capacity of the Regions, the following most-likely scenario was established. 2.1 Most-likely scenario This scenario is based on the following assumptions: Flooding will take place in most Flash and River flood prone areas of western Ethiopia including western Amhara, Gambella, Benishangul-Gumuz, most parts of SNNP and western and south western parts of Oromia. Some Flash and River flood prone areas in Eastern Amhara, Table 1: Estimated numbers of flood affected and Southern Tigray, areas along Awash River displaced people during kiremt 2019 in Afar, and Wabe Shebelle River in Somali were also considered as at risk due Region Affected Displaced to the occasionally anticipated heavy rainfall in the Regions and neighboring SNNP 385,469 96,367 upstream areas. Based on this scenario and Somali 342,901 85,725 the assumptions, it is estimated that some Amhara 261,609 65,402 1,336,355 people will be affected by River Oromia 226,990 56,748 and Flash floods during 2019 kiremt Afar 60,090 15,023 Gambella 22,996 5,749 season, of which, 335,814 people (25 per Tigray 11,700 2,925 cent of the total at risk population) across Dire Dawa 18,100 6,250 the country are likely to be displaced (see B/Gumuz 3,500 875 Table 1). The estimation was made based Harari 3,000 750 on the 2017 regional and national Flood Contingency Plan, the Regional Emergency Total 1,336,355 335,814 Preparedness and Response Plan (EPRPs), historical data and the 2019 kiremt season Flood Alert. The scenario and the associated numbers have been used by sector task forces and planners to develop simple and responsive sector contingency plans including food and non-food items such as emergency shelter, basic household items, medicines for human and livestock populations, seed , and water purification chemicals. 5 | P a g e 2.2 Assumptions in at-risk regions SNNPR: Most flood occurrences in the region are related to overflow of Rivers and the resultant burst of River banks following torrential rains. Floods and landslides in the region sometimes result in displacement, loss of property, depletion of natural resources and disruption of social services and damage to infrastructure. Considering anticipated excessive rain in the kiremt season, some 385,469 people are expected to be affected in the flood-prone areas including Nangatom, Selamago, Hamer, South Ari, North Ari, Benatsemay, Dasenech, Male in South Omo; Shashego, Mirab Badewacho Misrak Bedewacho Anlemo in Hadya zone; Kindo Didaye, Dugna Fango, Humbo, Damot Woydie, Kindo Koyisha,

  • Prioritization of Shelter/NFI Needs
    Prioritization of Shelter/NFI needs Date: 31st May 2018 Shelter and NFI Needs As of 18 May 2018, the overall number of displaced people is 345,000 households. This figure is based on DTM round 10, partner’s assessments, government requests, as well as the total of HH supported since July 2017. The S/NFI updated its prioritisation in early May and SNFI Cluster partners agreed on several criteria to guide prioritisation which include: - 1) type of emergency, 2) duration of displacement, and 3) sub-standard shelter conditions including IDPS hosted in collective centres and open-air sites and 4) % of vulnerable HH at IDP sites. Thresholds for the criteria were also agreed and in the subsequent analysis the cluster identified 193 IDP hosting woredas mostly in Oromia and Somali regions, as well as Tigray, Gambella and Addis Ababa municipality. A total of 261,830 HH are in need of urgent shelter and NFI assistance. At present the Cluster has a total of 57,000 kits in stocks and pipeline. The Cluster requires urgent funding to address the needs of 204,830 HHs that are living in desperate displacement conditions across the country. This caseload is predicted to increase as the flooding continues in the coming months. Shelter and NFI Priority Activities In terms of priority activities, the SNFI Cluster is in need of ES/NFI support for 140,259 HH displaced mainly due to flood and conflict under Pillar 2, primarily in Oromia and Somali Regions. In addition, the Shelter and NFI Cluster requires immediate funding for recovery activities to support 14,000 HH (8,000 rebuild and 6,000 repair) with transitional shelter support and shelter repair activities under Pillar 3.

  • Demography and Health
    SNNPR Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Demography and Health Aynalem Adugna, July 2014 www.EthioDemographyAndHealth.Org 2 SNNPR is one of the largest regions in Ethiopia, accounting for more than 10 percent of the country’s land area [1]. The mid-2008 population is estimated at nearly 16,000,000; almost a fifth of the country’s population. With less than one in tenth of its population (8.9%) living in urban areas in 2008 the region is overwhelmingly rural. "The region is divided into 13 administrative zones, 133 Woredas and 3512 Kebeles, and its capital is Awassa." [1] "The SNNPR is an extremely ethnically diverse region of Ethiopia, inhabited by more than 80 ethnic groups, of which over 45 (or 56 percent) are indigenous to the region (CSA 1996). These ethnic groups are distinguished by different languages, cultures, and socioeconomic organizations. Although none of the indigenous ethnic groups dominates the ethnic makeup of the national population, there is a considerable ethnic imbalance within the region. The largest ethnic groups in the SNNPR are the Sidama (17.6 percent), Wolayta (11.7 percent), Gurage (8.8 percent), Hadiya (8.4 percent), Selite (7.1 percent), Gamo (6.7 percent), Keffa (5.3 percent), Gedeo (4.4 percent), and Kembata (4.3 percent) …. While the Sidama are the largest ethnic group in the region, each ethnic group is numerically dominant in its respective administrative zone, and there are large minority ethnic groups in each zone. The languages spoken in the SNNPR can be classified into four linguistic families: Cushitic, Nilotic, Omotic, and Semitic.
