EARTHQUAKE AFFECTED PERSONS SURVEY 2019 EARTHQUAKE

Objectives

• The 2019 Earthquake Affected Persons (EAP) Survey aims at providing Albanian Government and relevant international actors with data on the impact of the November 2019 earthquake on households that are hosted in hotels, tented camps, tents next to their damaged house, schools, gyms and others. • The survey builds upon an assessment form previously developed by the Ministry of Finance and Economy and aims at facilitating and expanding the data collection from hotels to other locations in rural and urban areas. • The survey data is visualized on a real-time basis through a Power BI dashboard for an easy and quick check of the information by relevant authorities to assist on prioritization of assistance, recovery efforts and policy-making.

Overall Approach

• The assessment is a rapid survey conducted in Duress, Lezha and Tirana1 regions where earthquake impacted persons are located. • The form captures basic information about the household, accommodation information before and after the earthquake and information relating to education, employment and health. • Timeline estimation to complete the survey is approximately 10 days.

Coverage

The survey intends to cover all households affected by the earthquake of 26 November 2019 that are hosted in tented camps, school gyms, tents next to their homes, social centers, etc. This rapid survey will not cover households outside the Albanian territory (e.g. Kosovo).

Questionnaire

The questionnaire is divided into four sections: 1. Basic Information 2. Accommodation information (before the earthquake) 3. Education / Employment / Health 4. Accommodation information (after the earthquake)

The questionnaire is accessible through any smartphone or tablet using a KoboToolbox2 form. The questionnaire is largely built on the previous Google form used by the Ministry of Finance and Economy (see annex 1).

1 In Tirana municipality the assessment will cover only selected rural villages, as Tirana Municipality has started the process by themselves or not covered as per initial plan. 2 An online open-source for data collection.

Methodology
