Living Scenario Scenario 1 Took shelter on embankments, high ground, roads Scenario 2 in schools, in flood shelters Scenario 3 Neighboring houses. Scenario 4 In some locations people are reportedly living on rooftops, on wooden cots raised by bamboo poles, or on rafts made of bamboo.
Cold wave The likely onset of the regular cold wave in Decemberposes significant risks for the flood affected districts, in particular Nilphamari, Kurigram, Rangpur, Gaibandha, Lalmonirhat, Bogra and Sirajganj (7 of the 9 flood affected districts included in this assessment) these districts are known to be usually among the most impacted by the cold wave, and were affected by the cold waves in Dec 2013. The present flooding is likely to have increased the numbers living in inadequate housingand these people are likely to be severely affected if their homes cannot be repaired/rebuilt before the cold months.
Shelter and NFI: Emergency Needs High to Moderate Frequency Low Frequency Cooking / kitchen set Tarpaulin / Plastic sheet Family Kit Torch Light Candle Bamboo Fire Box / Lighter Bed Cloth Fuel Soap Cash Bucket Tent CI sheet Mosquito Net Rope Stove
Recommendation for Response: Short term Emergency shelter response from government and I/NGO should focus on people displaced and those with fully damaged shelters (ensuring that transitional shelter responses include landless families, the most vulnerable members of the community) Response to consider ongoing monsoon, and need to address vulnerabilities in timely manner before onset of cold wave in Dec 2014 Rebuilding or repairing of houses or cash grant should include shelter for the livestock and additional cost for the labor. Inclusion of vulnerable groups including female headed households, disabled, older persons and the landless need to be consider during delivery of shelter or cash for shelter. Emergency standard shelter Package recommendation
Recommendation for Response: Mid term Recovery need As both damage to shelter and damage to household sanitation/latrines have been reported, it can be assumed that that when the house is damaged/destroyed, the latrine is also affected. For this reason it is advised that the shelter response should be coordinated with WASH and early recovery; in particular shelter interventions should be well coordinated with sanitation rehabilitation. Advocacy around colonization of newly formed lands by those who have lost lands in other areas, as well as advocacy for provision of land by government. In case of rebuilding of houses in new locations, sites should be assessed so that, as far as possible, building takes place on areas that are free of risk from further erosion. Shelter recommendations should be suitable for the specific areas and consider the flooding risk in design. Rebuilding of shelter needs to follow build back better methods to achieve a resilient house structure.
