SITUATION OVERVIEW
Heavy monsoon rain and water from upstream sources caused slow-onset severe flooding in low lying areas of Northern Bangladesh. The 2020 floods has some remarkable characteristics in comparison with major floods in the recent past. It started earlier than usual (late June), it lasted more 60 days in some areas and, in Bahadurabad of Jamalpur, the Jamuna flowed at 20.79 m, 17cm above the last water level record set in 1988 according to Floods Forecasting Warning Centre (FFWC).
According to the National Disaster Response Coordination Center (NDRCC), one (1) million households were waterlogged. The disruption of services hindered meeting basic needs and, people suffered from hunger, illness, thirst and filthiness. The NDRCC report informs that 5.5 million (highest at 4 August) people were directly affected and, that 1,059,295 households were inundated. Among them, 211,859 families were displaced, and 94,414 people were evacuated in 1,525 shelters. The Department of Public Health and Engineering (DPHE) informs that 928,60 tube-wells and 100,223 latrines were damaged. The Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) informed that around 83,000 hectares of paddy fields were affected. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), 257 people lost their lives due to the floods.
The anticipatory impact analysis activated the Humanitarian Coordination Task Team (HCTT)’s Humanitarian Preparedness and Response Plan (HPRP) in line with the contingency plan for climate-related disasters in time of COVID-19 pandemic. Following the HCTT meeting organized on 14 July 2020, the Needs Assessment Working Group (NAWG) led by the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) and CARE coordinated an impact assessment in collaboration with national authorities and partners. Using a contextualized INFORM Risk Index and Sphere guidance, Districts and Key Immediate Needs (KIN) and related sectors were prioritized: Protection (Child Protection, Gender-based Violence, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Education); Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion; Food Security and Nutrition, and Shelter.
On 4 August 2020, the HCTT co-led by the MoDMR and the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office endorsed the HCTT response plan. The coordinated response follows a two-track approach: life-saving and early recovery interventions.

Promote Localization Agenda The WASH Cluster initiated the District WASH Cluster Coordination Mechanism through local DPHE offices and local NGOs who are working at district and upazila levels to strengthen local coordination. In addition, the WASH cluster will be conducting a mapping of local organizations who are working in the WASH sectors. Training and orientation of national and local level responders are integral part of the work. For example, in the response, international and national organizations work jointly for maximizing the transfer of skills and capacities. Where possible, use of market-based approaches such as sanitation marketing and engaging latrine producers in promoting safe WASH behaviours. This involves training to strengthen capacity in the longer run.

Response to Date With the excellent support from the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR), the response is implemented smoothly in a manner that complements GoB efforts. In addition to previous sectoral information, the following was achieved to date:
• HCTT meeting on 4 August 2020; • 1st 4Ws report on Monsoon Flood response coordinated by the NAWG available here; • Monitoring of the agreed Localisation indicators for the response – on-going. Several indicators suggested by HAG following the 2019 Localization Baseline Assessment are integrated in this report; • Localization Technical Working Group (LTWG) met on 31 August. Members agreed on the 2020-2021 workplan and confirmed Caritas Bangladesh’s chairmanship of the LTWG for one year; • Sphere Community Bangladesh (SCB) planned for review the response through Peer Review Process; • A common questionnaire for beneficiary selection was developed in English and in Bangla, accessible by any interested partners on KOBO. Detailed information available here.
Challenges A dedicated discussion on local level coordination in the districts prioritized for the response is now required to facilitate coordination among humanitarian stakeholders at local level and smooth interaction with local authorities.
