  • Cyclone Mekunu
    Yemen: Cyclone Mekunu Flash Update 1 | 25 May 2018 Situation Overview On 23 May 2018, tropical cyclone “Mekunu” swept through the island of Socotra flooding it heavily. On 24 May, the Government of Yemen declared a state of emergency and called on humanitarian organizations to support relief efforts. At the time of this report, rains have stopped and the cyclone is on course to make landfall in western Oman and eastern Yemen on 26 May. The heavy rains and flooding on the island of Socotra have reportedly caused significant damage to public infrastructure and loss of life, although precise information of the extent of damage is not yet available. Source : WFP However, national authorities have indicated the potential for large scale damage on the island which is inhabited by approximately 70,000 people. The Socotra Governorate emergency room has reported a total of 19 persons as missing; destruction of property has displaced families, with at least 500 families seeking refuge in schools and hotels in the capital, Hadibo. Roads to both the eastern and western side of Socotra remain cut off. Hadibo airport is reported to have reopened and some flights may land on 26 May. Preliminary information from one NGO on the ground indicates key emergency needs to be food, shelter/non-food items, medicines and hygiene kits. Implications on the humanitarian situation and response • Authorities are setting up 11 temporary shelter points in the capital, mostly schools, to assist people who may have had their housing damaged by flooding. www.unocha.org The mission of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is to mobilize and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors.

Isobars are is called the atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric analogous to the contour lines on a relief pressure is expressed in units of milibar. At sea level the map. The spacing of isobars expresses average atmospheric pressure is 1,013.2 milibar. Due the rate and direction of change in air to gravity the air at the surface is denser and hence has pressure. This change in air pressure is higher pressure. referred as pressure gradient. The distribution of atmospheric pressure over the globe is known as horizontal distribution of pressure. It is shown on maps with the help of isobars. The horizontal distribution of atmospheric pressure is not uniform in the world. It varies from time to time at a given place; it varies from place to place over short distances. The factors responsible for variation in the horizontal Air Pressure : The fundamental rule about distribution of pressure are as follows: gases is that when they are heated, they Air Temperature: The earth is not heated uniformly become less dense and expand in volume because of unequal distribution of insolation, and rise.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Tropical Cyclone in Somaliland Welthungerhilfe: Emergency Relief for Survi- vors Underway Bonn, 23/05/2018. After the devastating cyclone Sagar, which hit Gulf of Aden coun- tries on Saturday, the situation in Somaliland is becoming critical. The autonomous re- gion in Northwest Somalia has seen its heaviest downpours in recorded history. To date, the bodies of 30 dead have been recovered, but many areas continue to be cut off com- pletely from the outside world. The true extent of the natural disaster in this region, already affected by drought and hunger, is gradually becoming clear now. Phone and road networks were disrupted for days. We are receiving the first eyewitness reports from our colleagues on-site: “Flood waves up to 4 metres high roared through the dried out riverbeds, carrying ani- mals, streets and houses with them. Almost all water pipes have been submerged. Thou- sands of animals have perished, and thus families have lost their most important sources of income and nutrition. For two years, and for even three or more years in the regions close to the coast, the worst drought in a century has prevailed in the Awdal region, and now the flood has destroyed the last remnants of the people’s belongings. They have lost everything,” said Thomas Hoerz, Welthungerhilfe’s Programme Manager in Soma- liland, describing the current situation. Already before the flood, many people were no longer able to feed themselves and relied on humanitarian aid. Besides the promotion of sustainable agriculture and pasture farm- ing, Welthungerhilfe has already assisted thousands of families at risk to obtain clean drinking water, food and animal feed to combat the effects of the drought.

  • DJIBOUTI Briefing Note – 22 May 2018 Tropical Cyclone Sagar
    DJIBOUTI Briefing note – 22 May 2018 Tropical Cyclone Sagar A tropical cyclone developed on 16 May in the Gulf of Aden, between Yemen and Somalia, known as Cyclone Sagar. It hit Djibouti on 19 May causing heavy rains and flash floods (OCHA 22/05/2018; Weather Underground 17/05/2018; ECHO Daily Flash 21/05/2018). The areas most affected by flash floods are Djibouti City and the suburb of Balbala. 25-50,000 people have been affected by flash floods and likely displaced, and two deaths have been reported (OCHA 22/05/2018; OCHA 20/05/2018; ECHO Daily Flash 21/05/2018). Two sectors of Obock town, in Obock Region, are also flooded. Damages to shelters by heavy rains have been reported in Ali Addeh refugee settlement. No needs have been reported for the population in Ali Addeh and Obock town (OCHA 20/05/2018). Source: OCHA 22/05/2018 Key priorities Humanitarian constraints 25’000-50’000 Major road networks across the affected area are impassable, restricting movement people affected, likely displaced between Balbala suburb and central Djibouti City (OCHA 20/05/2018). WASH needs are likely to be high Limitations The lack of granular information on the population in need by sector 1,500 makes it challenging to estimate whether the planned response will be damaged shelters in Djibouti City sufficient to meet the needs of the affected population. Most of the reporting on the impact of Tropical Cyclone Sagar refers to the situation in Somalia and Djibouti within the same document. This creates confusion over whether the reported impact and needs refer to Somalia or Djibouti, or to both countries.

  • SHF-Funded Response to Cyclone Sagar
    FINAL version 25 June 2018 SHF-funded response to Cyclone Sagar 1. Allocation Summary This document lays out the approach to allocating funds through the Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF) Reserve allocation towards response to Sagar Cyclone. The SHF Reserve allocation of up to US$3.5 million will focus on priority life-saving humanitarian response to the impact of the tropical cyclone through the emergency rehabilitation of community assets, mobile outreach and integrated multicluster activities to the most vulnerable in the worst affected districts in Awdal region, Somaliland. 2. Context In mid-May, tropical cyclone Sagar hit coastal areas of Somaliland and Puntland leaving widespread devastation in its wake that affected an estimated 168,000 people. The Somaliland disaster management authority, NADFOR, estimates that 49 people were killed, and 70 others are still missing. The heavy rainfall, strong winds and dangerous flash floods resulted in the destruction of 277 hectares of land and countless livestock deaths. Key infrastructure, including roads, fishing boats, medical facilities, boreholes and water wells were damaged. In addition, over 80 per cent of community shelters have been destroyed and 39 schools affected jeopardizing continued education for pupils. The restoration of damaged infrastructure and provision of basic services to remains a top priority. Particularly hard hit was Awdal region with the worst affected districts being Lughaye, Zeylac and Baki. Prior to the cyclone, households had been trying to recover from a prolonged drought that had adversely affected their livelihood opportunities. The risk of deterioration of already poor health and nutrition outcomes remains real due to the loss of livelihoods, displacement and ongoing suspected AWD caseload, all compounded by the limited capacity of undamaged medical and WASH facilities to service communities.

    European Union Training Mission Somalia PRESS SUMMARY 21st May 2018 “In ‘Media’ stat virtus” EUTM - SOMALIA 21/05/2018 UN says tropical cyclone causes destruction in northern Somalia MOGADISHU, May 19 — A powerful tropical cyclone which formed in the Gulf of Aden has caused heavy rains in northern Somalia in the past two days, destroying houses and leaving about 2,000 livestock dead, the UN said on Saturday. In its Flash Update on the Tropical Cyclone Sagar, the UN office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned that the heavy rains were expected along the coastline of Somaliland on Saturday afternoon. “Authorities and humanitarians are closely monitoring the situation as it unfolds in Puntland and Somaliland,” said the UN humanitarian agency. It said in Puntland, heavy rainfall was observed in the northern area of Bari, with Bareeda, Caluula, Murcanyo, Gumbax, and some parts of Xaabo being among the worst affected areas. “Around 35 houses and 15 small boats were destroyed, while 56 camels, nearly 1,260 goats and sheep and 19 donkeys died. In the ancient coastal town of Lasqoray, houses in Habarshiro and Ceel Buh were also affected by flash flooding,” said the UN. It noted that huge ocean waves were experienced in coastal areas on Thursday and Friday, with most of the affected people displaced or moved to higher ground. Sagar was named by UK Meteorological Office on Wednesday, after beginning life as a tropical depression (1A) in the Gulf of Aden. The UN office adds the forecast appears to be as severe as the 2013 Somali Cyclone, but slightly below the severity of the 2008 Yemen Cyclone.
