  • Uganda Humanitarian Update November
    UGANDA HUMANITARIAN UPDATE NOVEMBER – DECEMBER 2010 I. HIGHLIGHTS An outbreak of yellow fever has been confirmed in northern Uganda; 189 cases with 48 deaths reported as of the end of December 2010 Over 300 households in Napak and Moroto districts have been affected by fire outbreaks Flooding and waterlogging destroyed more than 19,000 acres of crops in Pader in November 2010 II. SECURITY AND ACCESS SECURITY Cattle raids, road banditry and the on-going Government disarmament campaign dominated the security situation in Karamoja during the reporting period. Cattle raids persisted but at lower rates compared to the month of October, with Napak District worst affected followed by Moroto. Aggressive activity by illegally armed Karamojong also noticeably declined in November. Nevertheless, between 29 December 2010 and 2 January 2011, the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) intensified cordon and search operations in Rengen and Kacheri sub-counties of Kotido District. The operations followed an incident on 26 December in Kaabong District during which some UPDF soldiers were reportedly killed during a clash with suspected Jie tribesmen in Sidok sub-county. The Jie and the Dodoth of Kaabong District were also reported to have carried out raids against the Pokot and Turkana of Kenya, while the Turkana along with the Matheniko of Moroto executed joint raids in Kotido. The cross-border raiding activities prompted the UPDF to issue an advisory to humanitarian organizations active in Kalapata and Loyoro sub-counties of Kaabong emphasizing the need for vigilance and prior consultation ahead of travel to these areas. In Moroto, a joint Police and UPDF operation in Moroto municipality recovered locally made weapons, including 60 bows and arrows, in Katamukono and Acholi Inn villages.

  • I LANDSLIDE HAZARDS
    LANDSLIDE HAZARDS: HOUSEHOLD VULNERABILITY, RESILIENCE AND COPING IN BUDUDA DISTRICT, EASTERN UGANDA. By EKOTU JOHN JUVENTINE STUDENT NUMBER: 2009094331 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters in Disaster Management In the Disaster Management Training and Education Centre for Africa At the UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE Study Leader: MS NCUBE ALICE 2012 i DECLARATION I, John Juventine Ekotu, No. 2009094331, hereby declare that this dissertation is a product of my own independent work and has not previously been submitted for the award of a similar or related degree in any other university. All sources of information used have been correctly referenced, and any other assistance rendered has been fully acknowledged. Signature: ………………………………………….. Author: ………………………………………….. Date: …........……………………… JOHN JUVENTINE EKOTU ii ABSTRACT Landslides are among the most widespread geological hazards that threaten human lives worldwide, most especially on the mountainous regions of the world. On 1 March 2010, a devastating debris flow occurred in Nametsi village, Bukalasi Sub County, Bududa district in Eastern Uganda. The landslide event caused significant damage to farmland, crops, and livestock; claimed over 400 human lives and displaced an estimated 5,000 people. The high death toll and damage suffered by households from this landslide suggested high level vulnerability, absence of resilience and coping mechanisms. This study focuses on the assessment of household landslide hazard vulnerabilities and vulnerable elements in Bududa. It addresses the household awareness of landslide hazards, landslide early warning, mitigation, resilience and coping strategies that have been employed by households in the area over time. This was a qualitative study with a cross sectional approach.

    Uganda • Eastern Uganda Landslides and Floods Situation Report #1 3 March 2010 This report was issued by OCHA Uganda. It covers the period from 1 to 3 March 2010. The next report will be issued on or around 7 March. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES • Landslides have occurred in the mountainous areas of eastern Uganda, burying three villages in Bududa District and leaving at least 80 people and over 300 missing. • Search and rescue teams have been forced to employ shovels and hand held hoes; access constraints have prevented the deployment of more effective earth moving equipment. • Two Government-led inter-agency assessment teams have been dispatched to the affected region targeting Bududa and Butaleja districts. II. Situation Overview On Monday 1 March 2010, landslides occurred on the slopes of Mt. Elgon in eastern Uganda following heavy downpours. Bududa District According to the Office of the Prime Minister and local media reports, at least 80 people have been confirmed dead in the district of Bududa where a landslide covering an area 200 metres wide descended on and buried three whole villages in Nametsi Parish of Bukalasi sub-county. Only 31 survivors have been accounted for while over 300 people are still missing. The villages – Nametsi, Kubehwo and Namangasa – were highly populated with over 3,000 people located high in the mountain. At present, the disaster area is only accessible by foot or air, due to its remoteness and the lack of any serviceable road network. Nametsi Health Centre III was buried in the mudslide, leaving only Bukalasi Health Centre III located 3 km away and Bududa Hospital 15 km removed as the health facilities nearest to the affected area.

  • Uganda: Floods & Landslides
    UGANDA: FLOODS & LANDSLIDES Flash Update No. 1 As of 19 December 2019 HIGHLIGHTS • Torrential rains are being experienced across Uganda. According to the Uganda National Meteorological Department (UNMA), above- normal rains will continue until the end of the year. • At least 38 people have died due to floods and landslides in Bundibugyo, Bududa and Sironko districts, and over 150 people have been injured. At least 300,000 have been affected and an estimated 65,000 people are displaced, according to Government sources. • The floods and landslides have left a trail of destruction, including damaged homes, infrastructure, agriculture and livelihoods. • The Government of Uganda, with the support of humanitarian partners, is responding to the most urgent needs of people affected. SITUATION OVERVIEW Due to heavier than normal rains since September—enhanced by the positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD)—several districts in Uganda have been experiencing flash floods (mostly in urban areas) and landslides (in rural/hilly areas). According to preliminary estimates from a rapid assessment conducted by the Office of the Prime Minister in the most affected sub-regions of Mount Elgon and South Western Uganda in early December, at least 300,000 people have been affected, including 65,000 people reportedly displaced by the impact of heavy rains since September 2019. Over 21,500 hectares of crop and plantations are reportedly damaged in these areas. As of 17 December, 38 people have reportedly lost their lives, including in the mountainous Bundibugyo district in the western region and the Mount Elgon area in eastern Uganda. Water systems in Bundibugyo have been destroyed, exacerbating the risk of outbreaks of water-borne diseases.
