Rapi Dd Assessmen Tt Report Nepal Earthquake Rapid Assessment Report Nepal Earthquake Lalitpur District World Vision International (Nepal) May 2015 WV Rapid Assessment Report: Nepal Earthquake 1 I. ASSESSMENT BACKGROUND On 25 April at 11:56am local time, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the largest to hit the country since 1934, struck Nepal impacting 39 out of 75 districts. While the death toll and casualty numbers continue to increase as information comes in from remote areas, current estimates indicate that there are 8019 deaths and 17,886 injured and 288, 798 houses fully destroyed and 254,112 houses partially destroyed 1. Out of 198 countries in the world, Nepal is ranked as the 11th most at-risk country in terms of earthquake (UN/BCPR, 2004) with Kathmandu valley most at risk. Kathmandu, the capital city, was severely affected though the epicentre was 80 kilometres to the northwest in Gorkha. Two of World Vision’s operating areas—Lamjung and Lalitpur—were impacted. The national government has declared an emergency in 30 districts and appealed for international support. World Vision (WV) has been operating in Nepal since 1982 and had a total of 205 national and four international staff across the country prior to the earthquake. WV’s geographic presence spans 14 districts: Bhaktapur, Doti, Jumla, Kathmandu, Kaski, Kailali, Lamjung, Lalitpur, Morang, Rupandehi, Sunsari, Udayapur, Achham and Sindhuli. Over the past 33 years of operation, World Vision International Nepal (WVIN) has implemented programs focussing on emergency preparedness and response, DRR, health, WASH, child protection, education and livelihoods. This programming experience has seen WVIN develop strong relationships with local communities. In 2014, WVIN worked with 44 local partners to implement programs in 90 Village Development Councils (VDCs) and two municipalities across Nepal. These programs reached over 365,353 people including 187,380 children. WVIN is also a member of Association of International NGOs (AIN), formed by INGOs working in Nepal in September 1996 with 116 INGOs to date, working on a wide-range of issues and sectors to contribute to development efforts in Nepal. II. KEY HIGHLIGHTS • Priority needs vary depending on the context. In the valley districts, Shelter and NFI, WASH and Protection have been expressed to be the priorities. In the hill districts, Shelter and Food (especially capacity to pay) were expressed to be the priority needs. With the current living conditions, it is expected that increased reports of illness and disease will begin to emerge in the coming weeks due to sanitation issues and ongoing problems with crowded temporary shelter. • Following the earthquake, families living in tents outside their homes and in spontaneous camps have fallen into clear patterns of vulnerability, causing them distress and suffering with a lack of access to adequate shelter, compounded by insufficient food & water (hill districts) and toilets (valley districts), and a lack of information about overall relief efforts. • Based on the available information, the response should consider shelter, food, health, sanitation, education and protection specifically support for children as well as immediate implementation of information sharing and establishment of Complaints and Response Mechanisms (CRMs) for short term to medium-term interventions. • In relation to Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), with the coming monsoon season, frequent aftershocks and high risk of landslides, coordination with communities to help them prepare and mitigate for disasters is critical. Families and communities will significantly decrease their vulnerability if they have prepared adequately for the safety and security of all family members in the event of a disaster. 1 http://www.drrportal.gov.np/ As of 8 May, (at 18:00, UTC+5:45) WV Rapid Assessment Report: Nepal Earthquake 2 • While the need is recognized for obtaining household level information to better understand their critical needs/problems and suggested solutions, this is not yet possible as there is an agreement with the government and INGOs not to conduct assessments without aid distributions. The assessment team is ready to begin primary data collection once approval is obtained. III. METHODOLOGY Following the earthquake, a Category III Global Response was declared on April 26 , 2015. WVIN deployed 30 technical specialists from its Regional and Global Network to support the national response effort. Between 27 April and 5 May, within 48 hours of a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hitting Nepal, WVI Nepal staff were deployed to assess the general condition of a number of affected districts. The methodology employed for the assessment was a mix of interviews and direct observation, which is verified with secondary information from government and UN reports. A total of 44 interviews were conducted with community members and government representatives across the seven districts. The purpose of this light touch assessment is to provide an overview of the needs and gaps in the selected districts. A total of seven (7) districts have been covered;three (3) valley districts (Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bakthapur) and four (4) hill districts (Sindhuli, Lamjung, Gorkha, Sindhupolchowk). District Municipalities /VDCs covered by Assessment 1. Lalitpur Khokana, Bungmati 2. Bhaktapur Telkot,Besitole, Pipalbot/Lama tole, Gargare, 3.

Lamjung Gauda, Kolki 6. Gorkha Paslang , Aappipal,Harme, Gorkha Mun 7. Sind hupolchowk Cha utara – Army barrack, Jalbire, Baramche To assess which geographic areas will be targeted, based on strategic priorities, a rating system was designed to provide a comparable score for each district to aid in the assessment of impact and decision-making. The rankings and overall proportion of humanitarian need in each district was calculated based on the formula of poverty incidence x magnitude of damage x severity of damage. The Area Affected Analysis (AAA), based on publically available data, allows the WVIN Response Team to use a range of vulnerability and impact data to get a clear picture of where the most need is. At the time of reporting, VDC level data is available for Lamjung, Sindhuli, Gorkha and Sindhupolchowk districts. AAA - Gorkha AAA - Lamjung AAA - Sindhuli AAA - Sindhulpalchok 20150509.xlsx 20150508.xlsx 20150508.xlsx 20150509.xlsx WV Rapid Assessment Report: Nepal Earthquake 3 IV. FINDINGS GEOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW The ranking of the districts below was based on Area Affected Analysis (AAA) data. The 3W data detailing the footprints of other agencies will also be maximized to ensure that planned activities are complementary to other relief efforts. Based on this analysis of the situation, the Response will target the following districts as priority areas: District Rationale Lamjung District La mjung comprises of 61 VDCs and has a population of 168,652 people or 37,228 HHs. A western hilly region in Nepal, the main source of income is agriculture. The municipality has a poverty incidence of 16%; over 27,000 people live below the poverty line. The earthquake damaged 8,622 houses (23%), 3,314 (38%) of which were totally damaged. It is ranked #12 out of all affected districts. Lamjung is an ADP-covered area covering 6 VDCs (Banjhaknet, Baglungpani, Parewadanda, Sundarbazar, Tarku, Nalma) and 1 municipality (Besishahar). Sindhuli District Sindhuli has a population of 300,853 , spread across 54 VDCs/municipalities located in a central hilly region of Nepal. 15,028 or 22% of houses were damaged, of which 2,776 or 18% were totally damaged. It has a poverty incidence of 38%, with 114,374 people living below the poverty line. It is ranked #10 out of all affected districts. Sindhuli is an ADP-covered area covering 14 VDCs-8 VDCs in the east (Lampantar, Bahuntilpung, Toshramkhola, Kholagaun, Dudhbhangyang, Sumnam Pokhari, Khangsang and Solpathana) and 6 VDCs in the west (Jarayatar, Balajor, Tinkanya, Baseshwar, Bhuwaneshwari, and Bitijor). Gorkha District Gorkha has a population of 275,711 people spread across 67 VDCs scattered in hard-to- reach, villages across mountainous terrain. This district was the site of the epicentre of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal 25 April. 45,595 (74%) houses were totally damaged. As of May 8, 410 people have been killed in the district and more than 1,000 injured 2. The earthquake has aggravated already poor existing conditions. Gorkha ranked number 2 amongst all affected districts. This district is not covered by an ADP. Electricity and water supplies are available in some areas and the markets are only partially functional 2 http://www.drrportal.gov.np/ As of 8 May, (at 18:00, UTC+5:45) WV Rapid Assessment Report: Nepal Earthquake 4 with markets in large portions of the district not functioning 3. However, access to rural areas in the district remains difficult. Aftershocks continue, with two strong quakes recorded on 6 May causing additional landslides in rural areas, including in Laprak, Gunda and Lapu. In Laprak, humanitarian partners reported a lack of shelter, food, water and medicines. Some villages in northern Gorkha are reachable only by foot trails; thus, there is a recommendation to strengthen partnerships with local trekking and porter associations to reach remote areas. 4 Sindhup alchowk District Sind hupalchowk ranked number 1 of all affected districts. It is a non-ADP covered area and has a population of 285,950 spread across 79 VDCs/municipalities. It has a poverty incidence of 25%. 63,887 or 96% houses were totally damaged. Although this district is close to Kathmandu, it is one of the least developed districts in Nepal. People depend entirely on agriculture for their survival. Since the district is hilly, the land is not very fertile, and the yield is very low. Almost every VDC has access to electricity, and roads connecting to the highway. Many NGOs and INGOs are working in the district in order to improve living standards.

Map 25 April – 4 May 2015 Time of validity 18:00 (Kathmandu) – 12:15 (UTC) ECHO Field Office New Delhi – INDIA Number of dead (Government of Nepal): 7 276 Number of wounded (Government of Nepal): 14 362 2. Situation The death toll resulting from the earthquake which struck central Nepal on 25 April has risen to 7 276, with 14 362 injured (Government of Nepal-GoN figures, 4 May). It is anticipated that these figures will further increase as remote areas are becoming accessible for government officials and humanitarian actors. On 3 May, the GoN declared the USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) phase over; it is now paramount that the emergency humanitarian response is further scaled up to reach remote and most affected Village Development Committees (VDCs), ensuring speedy movement and delivery of relief items. According to UN estimates, up to 8 million people have been affected by the ECHO Emergency Contact earthquake. Over 54% of the deaths have been recorded in the districts of Tel.: +32 2 29 21112 Sindhupalchowk and Kathmandu, but there remain entire districts, such as Fax: +32 2 29 86651 Rasuwa, which have yet to be accessed. Approximately 2.8 million people are [email protected] believed to have been temporarily displaced from their homes (USAID Factsheet 7), though numbers are decreasing as people return home in the ECHO Crisis Flash No. 10 – NEPAL Earthquake Kathmandu Valley or are moving from there to their rural districts of origin. Over 10 700 houses have been reported destroyed, with over 14 700 damaged; the GoN estimates that over 200 000 houses have been destroyed and more than 188 000 damaged (GoN, 3 May).

  • Peasantry in Nepal
    92 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Peasantry in Kathmandu Valley and Its Southern Ridges 4.1 Introduction From ancient times, different societies of caste/ethnicity have been adopting various strategies for ac- quiring a better livelihood in Nepal. Agriculture was, and is, the main strategy. The predominant form of agriculture practised throughout the hilly area of the Nepal is crop farming, livestock and forestry at the subsistence level. Kathmandu valley including Lalitpur district is no exception. The making of handicrafts used to be the secondary occupation in the urban areas of the district. People in the montane and the rural part of the district was more dependent upon the forest resources for subsidiary income. Cutting firewood, making khuwa (solidified concentrated milk cream) and selling them in the cities was also a part of the livelihood for the peasants in rural areas. However, since the past few decades peasants/rural households who depended on subsistence farming have faced greater hardships in earning their livelihoods from farming alone due to rapid population growth and degradation of the natural resource base; mainly land and forest. As a result, they have to look for other alternatives to make living. With the development of local markets and road network, people started to give more emphasis to various nonfarm works as their secondary occupation that would not only support farming but also generate subsidiary cash income. Thus, undertaking nonfarm work has become a main strategy for a better livelihood in these regions. With the introduction of dairy farming along with credit and marketing support under the dairy development policy of the government, small scale peasant dairy farming has flourished in these montane regions.

  • Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015
    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiple sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Gorkha, with a population of more than 271,000, is one of the worst-affected districts.1 The epicenter of the earthquake was in Brapok, 15km from Gorkha town. As of 6 May, 412 people have been reported killed and 1,034 injured. In the southern part of the district, food has been provided, but field observations indicate that the food supplied might not be enough for the actual population in the area. Several VDCs in the mountainous areas of Gorkha are yet to be reached by humanitarian assistance. There are no roads in these northern areas, only footpaths. The level of destruction within the district and even within VDCs varies widely, as does the availability of food. A humanitarian hub has been set up at the Chief District Officer’s (CDO) premises in Gorkha town. Reported number of people in need (multiple sources) The figures featured in this map have been collected via multiple sources (district authorities, Red Cross, local NGO, media). Where multiple figures for the same location have been reported the highest one was taken. These figures are indicative and do not represent the overall number of people in need. 1 This is an updated version of the Gorkha District Profile that was published by ACAPS on 1 May 2015. As with other mountain areas of Nepal, Gorkha contains popular locations for foreign trekkers.
