Introduction

The flood contingency plan is an inter-agency document produced and owned by the Humanitarian Regional Team, Operational Coordination Teams and Provincial Disaster Management Committees (PDMCs). There are four provinces in the region: Badakhshan, Baghlan, Kunduz and Takhar with 67 districts. The plan comes into effect from March to July 2013.

The flood contingency plan uses the most likely scenario as planning bench mark and highlights a projected worst case scenario. The plan also draws on historical data, 2012 floods incidents trend analysis, 2013 CHAP Humanitarian Dashboard, flood maps and field knowledge as building blocks for assumptions and humanitarian caseloads.

The overall objective of inter-agency flood contingency plan is to support the timely, consistent and coordinated response to anticipated floods, by ensuring early warning systems are activated as mitigation measures and effective response is planned. This will minimize the impact of floods on vulnerable Afghans, their livelihoods and assets and the environment, thus reducing the scale of humanitarian needs for the affected population.

The specific objectives of the flood contingency plan are as follows: • To improve the management and coordination of preparedness, response and early recovery arrangements; • To ensure timely resource mobilization, efficient and effective response; • To reduce the risk of floods secondary tertiary hazards, like epidemics and disease outbreaks, environmental degradation, etc; • To provide general guidance on the level of assistance that may be required as a result of specific emergency; • To provide an overview of stocks and warehouse availability and who-has-what-where information; • To identify and define roles and responsibilities of players involved in humanitarian or emergency response.

1.1 Regional flood context

The North-Eastern Region consists of four provinces: Badakhshan, Baghlan, Kunduz and Takhar. The region is prone to natural disasters such as floods, extreme winter, avalanches, landslides, earthquakes, water shortages, and epidemics. The disasters are recurrent in nature on an annual basis and have serious humanitarian consequences for the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable people.

The population of the North-Eastern Region is 3,403,800 people in 67 districts in four provinces. The region is located in the north-eastern part of Afghanistan between the Hindu Kush mountain range and the Amu Darya. It borders with Tajikistan in the north, with China to the north-east and with Pakistan to the east. It shares internal borders with Nuristan, Panjsher and Bamyan provinces in the east, south and south-east respectively, as well as with Balkh in the west and with Samangan in the south-west.

Agriculture and animal husbandry is the main economic base for the region. About 60% of its land is covered by pastureland, 15% by rain fed agriculture, and 12% permanently by snow, mainly in the sub-branches of Hindu-Kush mountain range from the south through to the west. The region, which constitutes only 14% of the national territory, provides 57% of the total water resources for Afghanistan. It has a rugged and mountainous topography. High mountains include Kwaja Mohammad with 4,741m, Sapadekhers with 5,326 m and the Wakhan corridor with Nawshakh Peak at 7,485 m.

Floods are induced by rain and snowmelt, affecting an estimated 52 districts with about 603 villages. Floods occur almost every year from Mach to August. Based on previous records, floods kill and injure people, destroy and damage houses, community assets, agricultural land, gardens, and infrastructures. In 2012, flash floods killed 93 and injured 104 people in the North-Eastern Region. They completely or partially damaged 9,543 residential houses, 43,447 jeribs of cultivated lands; affected 7,330 livestock and damaged infrastructures like roads, bridges, canals, etc. The most likely scenario for 2013 floods is that about 6,000 families in 52 districts are affected. The projects worst case scenario is 8,000 families affected by floods.

3. Coordination arrangements

3.1 National and local authorities’ responsibilities

A humanitarian disaster situation exists when an affected community, district or province cannot cope with the impact of the hazard. In case of a disaster, the Afghan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA), under the Office of the President, is mandated to coordinate pre- and post-disaster preparedness / response activities on behalf of the Afghan government. Ministries are asked to provide assistance to ANDMA based on their mandates, roles and responsibilities.

The Office of the Provincial Governor has the authority and responsibility for disaster response at the provincial level and convenes Provincial Disaster Management Committee (PDMC) meetings.

The provincial ANDMA office provides secretariat support for the PDMC and coordinates the humanitarian response in cooperation with line departments and other PDMC members. Humanitarian organizations assist in this process.

The term “assisting community” refers to United Nations agencies, bilateral donors, national and international NGOs, IFRC, Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS), and private sector that provide emergency relief assistance.

3.2 Alert

Floods are triggered by the following: Heavy rainfall, land and environmental degradation, sudden onset of snowmelt due to rising temperatures, blocked flood passages, increased water levels, and weather forecasts. Local sources for flood alert: Elders, local disaster risk reduction teams, mosques, and schools.

Alert system: Representatives of an affected community (elders, shura, CDC) inform district authorities and ANDMA who subsequently informs the provincial governor or his deputy. The other option is that community leaders directly inform provincial authorities. In this case it would be the provincial governor who informs ANDMA and PDMC members. Based on it, government line departments inform their respective ministries. ANDMA informs the national ANDMA office, OCHA and other humanitarian actors. NGOs likewise inform district and provincial authorities, OCHA and clusters.

3.3 Operational procedures

3.3.1 PDMC and needs assessments

PDMC and needs assessments

The PDMC chair does the following: • Calls for a Provincial Disaster Management Committee meeting (PDMC). • Ensures that joint assessment teams carry out rapid needs assessments.

• Reviews assessment results and mobilizes assistance. Based on assessed needs, government and humanitarian organizations mobilize relief assistance. • Oversees relief distributions and reporting.

3.3.2 Level of response

District level response: The disaster is managed by the district administrator through the mobilization of community resources, using traditional coping mechanisms and local ARCS and NGO resources. Emergency Response Mechanism is part of the response.

Provincial level response: The disaster is managed at the provincial level. Based on the outcome of the rapid needs assessment, the PDMC determines the level of response. Humanitarian Regional Team, clusters and Operational Coordination Teams are important partners in the process. Emergency Response Mechanism is part of the response. The North-Eastern humanitarian team has enough resources to respond to small and medium scale emergencies and is able to mobilize additional resources from Kabul for large scale emergencies. Experience has shown that large scale flood emergencies are rare in the region. In case of a large scale emergency, the provincial governor will declare an emergency and mobilize assistance from the central level. He is assisted in this effort by humanitarian organizations.

3.3.3 Disaster reporting

ANDMA on behalf of the PDMC does the government reporting. OCHA in cooperation with humanitarian partners prepares incident reports which are published on the Afghanistan humanitarian response website. Further reporting is done by donors, ARCS, NGOs, and UN agencies.

3.3.4 Stages of emergency response

Step 1: Informing the Office of the Provincial Governor, alert chain and PDMC meeting.

Step 2: Joint needs assessment, results reviewed at PDMC, mobilization of relief assistance, and ANDMA relief request.

Step 3: Coordination of relief response, resource mobilization, delivery of relief assistance, and information management.

Step 4: Reporting and evaluation.

4 Humanitarian assistance community

The Afghan Government’s disaster management capacity is limited. IFRC, UN agencies and NGOs provide assistance in preparedness, mitigation and response. So do ARCS, ICRC and local NGOs in conflict affected areas where access is limited.

OCHA in collaboration with humanitarian actors, ANDMA, PDMC, ARCS and Operational Coordination Teams will activate coordination mechanisms through sub-clusters and sectoral groups.

4.1 The cluster approach

The cluster approach supports preparedness and response through predictable leadership, a mechanism for resource mobilization and accountability. Only few clusters are functioning in the North-Eastern Region. In the absence of clusters, UN agencies or NGOs take sectoral leads. The table shows the regional humanitarian coordination mechanism.
