1. Executive Summary Jammu and Kashmir experienced heavy monsoon rains that began on September 2, 2014 and lead to unprecedented widespread flooding and landslides across the state. Banks of the river Jhelum, Chenab, Tawi and many other streams were burst. The worst affected districts are Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramulla, Pulwama, Ganderbal, Kulgam, Budgam, Rajouri, Poonch and Reasi. Links of Kashmir Valley were disrupted and the 300- km- long national highway was closed for vehicular traffic from the 7

th September as a result of landslides and floods. As many as 60 major and minor roads

have been cut off and over 30 bridges washed away, hampering the relief and rescue operations. Except for connectivity between Srinagar and North Kashmir’s Ganderbal district, all other districts of the valet including Anantnag, Pulwama, Kulgam, Shopian, Badgam, Baramulla and Bandipora were cut off.



2. Background Heavy rainfall has caused:

Flash flooding with localized damage across the state,

Landslides, which impacted on communities and road connectivity and

Widespread flooding in the Jammu & Kashmir Valley. Flood waters from Jhelum River breached embankments in many low-lying areas in Kashmir, including the capital Srinagar and Tawi River in Jammu forcing people to move to safer places. As of 16 September 2014, 190 people and 78 people have been reported dead in Jammu and Kashmir division respectively. As per the preliminary information of Government 9,814 residential houses were fully damaged and 23,763 partially in Jammu region. The preliminary information available from Kashmir says that 103,938 pucca houses are fully damaged, 64,176 pucca houses are partially damaged, 7,372 kuccha houses are fully and 9,220 kuccha houses are partially damaged. Over 234 relief camps were installed in the state and 23,900 people were rehabilitated from the Jammu region only. Prioritization of Humanitarian Needs

3. Relief Measures GO & NGO The Govt. has started over 87 camps in Jammu and over 147 (excluding Srinagar, Banidipora and Kupwara) in Kashmir division. Distributed 250 tents, 250 blankets and 700 Qtls of rice in Baramula, 546 tents, 36 bundles (blankets) and 92 Qtls of rice in Budgam, 1 tent, 517 blankets, 40 Qtls of rice, 1.60 Qtls of pulses in Shopian, 1800 blankets in Ganderbal, 423 tents, 9125 blankets in Anantnag, 03 ton of ration and 3000 tarpaulin in Rajouri, Utensils, Food, Milk, Books, Pencils in Udhampur, 35-50 kg. atta to affected community in Jammu District. Over 20908 people were evacuated and 23900 were rehabilitated in the Jammu region. India Army rescued persons at the earliest through airlifting and supported with Boats, Pumps, JCB, Constructed 3-4 floating bridges, repaired roads and supplied water in Jammu region. Relief measure by NGO: URS matrix attached as Annex

4. Inherent capacities- traditional knowledge It was found that carpet weaving, carpentry and handicrafts are the skills that exist within the community members mainly among women and girls. Although the tools have been lost for carpet weaving, carpentry and handicrafts, once the tools are available, the work can be resumed. The assessment teams found that there is community willingness to address WASH under proper guidance. Even the school teachers are willing to start the education as soon as school buildings are cleaned and repaired. There is a practice of storing rice at home for a long time, and this helped the communities to survive when they were trapped at various places before they could be rescued. In some parts of urban areas like Srinagar, some of the affected households have their savings which will help them recover. People who are dependent on tourism are expecting speedy recovery.



5. Field Assessment: The Joint Rapid Needs Assessment (JRNA) covered 108 villages from the worst affected districts of Jammu and Kashmir. Out of 108 villages assessed by the team, water level was more than 3 feet in 62 villages and has entered into the houses in 87 villages. Team reported that the 86% of the wards are affected and major damages to shelter, water and sanitation facilities, crop/agriculture land and education. Rapid Joint Needs Assessment Areas



6. Sector Wise Needs Emerging 6.1 Food Security and Livelihoods: Situation Analysis (based on observation and field visit reports)

Agriculture is the main livelihood of the families in the villages, except for very few families with job holders.

The paddy seed beds were lost due to inundation, standing crops have been damaged and stored grains/ food stocks lost, raising food security concerns.

In view of winter season, people prioritise repairing and cleaning of their houses now thus impacting their daily wages.

The paddy straw is used as feed for their livestock, which is completely damaged. So there is a likelihood of shortage of fodder for livestock especially during winters.

The major impact of the flood is seen in case of livelihoods and livestock (cattle). Many households own agricultural land.

Community has a habit of storing grains for the winter season when the temperature is below freezing point. Even the poorest families with small tracts of land store all the food they grow (as opposed to selling them in the market) for winter, and engage themselves in wage labour, or other activities like being a driver, tourism operator, running a shop etc. for the rest of the year.

Floods had a major impact on livestock, with losses of cows, sheeps and goats. Most of the people in assessed villages have lost one or two of their livestock.

No other supplementary nutritional support from the government as Dal, pulses and during winter only the few green vegetable will be available.

The usual diet in is 3 meals a day and now they are getting 1-2 meals per day. There is no special nutritional provision for children or nursing mothers & pregnant women in the camp.

The ICDS centres in all the villages are affected by flood water, hence closed. All the supplementary nutrition and food grains have been damaged completely. It will not open for another 15 days due to water logging and massive silt deposition.

Ration is supplied by the District Administration in the relief camps but most of the food packets are supplied by local Mohallas and Gurudwaras including NGOs.

The Government has announced free rice for six months (Total 250 Kg’s for six months). The household size is averaged at 5.91; therefore this is not sufficient in quantity and does not provide the diversity of food consumption required.

Rates of food items have increased tremendously in the state and shortage of essential commodity can be seen.

Vegetable and horticulture industry has also damaged severely causing severe shortage of vegetables in the market.

Tourism is one of the most important source of livelihoods (earnings) which is most affected. September is the peak season and has been stopped, thus leading to reduced incomes.

In urban areas especially Srinagar, business communities received major losses, there is a very strong need for a humane financial package for the business community for the kind of losses they have faced.

Assessment Findings a. Food Security:

82.3% of families reported that their stocks were severely destroyed

77.7 % of families reported that their remaining food stocks will last for less than a week, which can result in less food consumption.

77.7 % of families reported that household will not be able to cook food/boil water. This is due to lack of utensils and fuel to cook food or boil water.

68.3 % of women are without safe and private places to breastfeed putting children in risk of improper breastfeeding.

38 respondents ( 57.3%) mentioned that their food stocks got destroyed because of the floods

16 respondents said that the damages caused due to disaster were severe and 24 respondents rated it as moderate, and that their stocks will last for less than a week.

27 respondents said that there was a significant decrease in food that females eat and 25 respondents mentioned same for males and Children.



b. Food Consumption:

The data is showing an alarming rate of change in food consumption. In total almost 86% respondents from Kashmir, including men, women and children responded decrease of food consumption after floods. In 5 districts almost 100% respondents mentioned that their food consumption level decreased after the floods.

In Jammu, 35.7% of villages saw decrease in food consumption for children under the age of five, and 59.3% for chdren as compared with the normal situation.

ICDS facilities need to be equipped with malnutrition monitoring tools like MUAC tapes in order to keep check on issue of malnutrition among women and children especially.

c. Agricultural produce

Floods arrived at the most crucial time since it was time for harvesting of rice and apples. Of the 68 villages, consistent data was available for 49 villages on the agricultural produce that was damaged.

About 139,413 kanals of land or 17,426 acres was completely destroyed in the floods.

Of the 68 villages, 57 reported that paddy to be one of the most important crops for them. Of these 57 villages, 15 villages reported paddy as the single most important crop for them. These were in Anantnag, Bandipora, Kulgam and Pulwama.

The other crops mentioned as important have apples, vegetables and maize. 11 villages mentioned apples as one of the main crops along with rice.

Vegetables were reported as important crops alongside paddy and/or apples in 31 villages, particularly Shopian, Anantang and Budgam.

Loss of walnut trees was mentioned in 5 villages- 2 in Anantnag and one each in Budgam, Shopian and Kulgam.

Other produce that was mentioned as affected were potatoes, mustard, pulses and pears. But these were reported in only some villages leading to an inference that these are not staple foods, but are choices of some farmers in some of the sample villages.

d. Market Analysis and Accessibility of Nutritional Programme

Flood affected availability of food in the market resulting in increase of food prices. 90.8% reported that cost of food increased manifold.

As most of the areas where inundated resulted in less access to markets. 67% of respondents said that markets where inaccessible and 58 % respondents said that accessible markets where running out of stock, which may reduce food security.

Out of 68 respondents, 57 respondents mentioned that their ICDS and health centres where affected by disaster only 11 mentioned that these facilities where not affected by the disaster.

62.7% respondents said that the cost of food has increased tremendously.

8.3% respondents mentioned that markets where functioning in their village, which means for most of the people markets where not functioning, 81.5 % respondents said that markets where running out of stock

e. Livestock:

The analysis shows that more deaths to livestock happened in Kashmir division compared to Jammu division. 42.6 % respondents said that thy witness los of livestock compared to 7.5% in Jammu division.

73.5 % respondents in Kashmir division said that availability of fodder for domestic animals has been affected severely. 55% respondents in Jammu division said the same.

There are indications of rice being charged at 50 INR/kg and cylinder at 450 INR in Srinagar. Further most of the line departments indicated that they have not received any such GO in this regard, and hence its not free and its only 35 kgs and not 50 kgs even.

For 84.8 % of the assessed population markets where inaccessible.

Figure 6: Food consumption changes (disaggregated) 6.2 Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Situation Analysis

The major water sources are bore well, natural springs, pipe water supply.

The common bore well uses Mark – II hand pump; there are also popular – VI hand pumps in the valley. All of which were submerged completely in water logged areas – for example in South Kashmir districts (Anantnag and Pulwama) and Srinagar.

The other type of water source is government supply system through pipelines which are presently dysfunctional due to inundation and clogging.

The third type of source is underground aquifer with boring and natural flow of water to surface without motor pump; the turbidity of some of these sources is found to be high.

Large sections of flood affected areas continue to be waterlogged.

Sanitation is a main issue in Srinagar city and northern affected districts especially when people have already started cleaning their houses

In Srinagar the entire water filtration and distribution systems in all major hospitals was paralysed and yet to be fully functional. As administrative offices were also under water, the debris cleaning process started very slow and later. This has a severe potential for health hazards

Assessment Findings

53% of villages indicated that water sources had been damaged. Before the flood 63% of villages used piped water as the primary source of water, whereas after the flooding this was down to 17%. Currently 13% of villages use wells, 29% ponds, 30% tubewells, and 12% other sources.

85% of villages indicated that sanitation facilities had been damaged and 59% of the villages are primarily practicing open defecation.

In a smaller sample of villages where water testing was done in South Kashmir, turbidity of water in hand pumps and boring underground water is very high, between 50 NTU to 300 NTU. Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) is found to be in the range of 394 to 550 – in higher side. Iron content is high in some hand pumps.

Drinking water has been distributed by unaffected communities from neighbouring villages, Public Health Engineering Department (PHE) and Army. Turbidity is found to be within the acceptable level in such water supply. The water distributed by PHE and army for drinking purpose are not chlorinated. However, chlorine tablets for high volume of water are reported to be distributed by the department. A variety of water treatment systems (chlorine and halogen) are being provided to the communities

The public water distribution system is yet to be restored in most affected villages in three South Kashmir districts. PHE department is likely to take at least a month to restore the major distribution systems. In Sri Nagar, many pockets are attained restored water supply line but the cut off where major breaches occurred (during the floods and post) will need around 2-3

weeks before proper supply is restored – (areas like Kursu, Natipora, Rajbagh etc.) the residual chlorine levels in the official water supply lines has improved (25-27 Sept)

General practices of storing water are: in metal pitchers (Kolshi), Jerry can, plastic bottles and buckets and other household utensils. Water handling practice is observed to be not entirely safe as it is exposed to contamination through various means. Some households have small water tank. No water treatments are being used or available to households at present. The water distribution through tankers is also likely to get contaminated during unsafe handling. 53% of villages indicated that they did not have enough water storage containers.

Across the urban pockets, most shelters had latrine structures, which are now damaged or washed away. There are no temporary latrines are available to affected population who are still in their villages. Latrines in the camps are not sufficient and after use for longer period, many of those are filled up. Open defecation is being practiced now widely due to unavailability of facilities, especially in low lying villages in Pulwama, Anantnag and also in affected areas of Bandipora and Baramulla. For women particularly this is problem and issue of dignity.

Some households have built temporary bathing spaces but most people do not have.

The major challenges are cleaning the houses, pumping of the stagnant water and debris cleaning and disposal. People have started cleaning their houses after water receded. They are washing the household items especially the furnishing in flood waters. However, the villages which are low lying will need extensive debris cleaning and sometime with machines. There is no initiative from government at present for debris cleaning. Hundreds of carcasses of poultry, stray dogs and other animals are in the water in Srinagar.

Field assessments across the city of Sri Nagar, in Kursu, Hamdania colony, Lasjan, Bemna colony, Natipura, Naugam, Kinhama showed that most of the septic tanks were silted, the households have not had the time or the technical support to inspect such structures as they are busy with other critical actions of debris clearing and washing of the premises, once the electricity and water supply is restored, the use of the latrines and household water based usage will substantially increase putting a very heavy load on the drainage and sewerage structures. This is coming out as a very critical need as the availability of bowzers to clear out the faeces is limited and with the winter less than one month away this is a critical action.

Most of the affected urban pockets due to the high density have had water source contamination due to the mixing of the over flowing sewerage and hence most of the assessed water sources were compromised.

Hand washing materials are not available at present. During interviews women had expressed need for sanitary pad which they do not have access to currently. There is also need for soap, and diapers for children. Women accessing food and sanitation facilities in Army camps expressed that they do not feel comfortable to go there to use latrine and bathing places.

Some parts of Srinagar (Lalchowk, Jowaharnagar, Bemina) district continue to water logged even after 17 days of the floods and at risk of disease outbreak. Flood water is stagnated and receding slowly in many low lying villages in South Kashmir; however some parts of affected North Kashmir districts and Srinagar are still under water.

Siltation has occurred in villages near to the River Jhelum. Due to the heavy deposition of silt, which is up to 3 feet in few villages in Pulwama district, clearing of debris is posing a major problem. Village level institutions like schools have also not started in most villages due to debris deposited in the establishments. Many local shops and business are under water for more than two weeks now. Besides the current humanitarian needs, people are worried about the long term impact of this disaster in their lives.

Poor menstrual hygiene – use of cloth mostly now; bathing & toilets is a problem in camps and in water logged areas. A WASH Surveillance grid needs to be put up urgently to alert any disease outbreak especially in the close urban pockets and the remote areas as both these clusters are in high risk of rapid spread and no reporting respectively. In the sample villages, 59% of women use cloth, and 38% use sanitary napkins for menstraul hygiene.

Urgent needs

A growing, number of people do not have access to safe water are in urgent need of a range of WASH support, including clean water, hygiene kits, purification materials and various WASH NFIs. Disease surveillance continues to point towards a rising trend of diarrheal disease, skin infection and respiratory disease in affected areas. As in most other sectors,



WASH needs are particularly acute in Srinagar city, Baramola and Bandipora in North Kashmir and also in South Kashmir.

One women in a camp in Rajouri district said “The immediate need for us right now is food, latrine and bathing facilities. Although we have not faced any problem, we do not feel comfortable going to camps for taking bath or use the latrines. There is no privacy and we don’t feel safe in camps. Our children can’t go to school in these conditions. We don’t know what our future is, how long we will be here in the camps.” Both men and women expressed that they want to cook food, but they do not have utensils and fuel for cooking.

Government continues to pump out water from water logged areas the flooded areas. Additional pumps have been installed across the city- although the field assessment clearly indicated the need for more.

Debris cleaning is a major concern and problem within the communities, especially in urban and peri-urban areas of Srinagar.

6.3 Health: Situation Analysis:

The overall health infrastructure and system in Kashmir region is badly affected. Equitable access to health facilities is a big concern.

The lack of access to healthcare from PHC, AWC, Rural Health Providers, attributed to facilities being affected and reduced staffing levels as staff and their families themselves being affected.

Health camps are concentrated in urban pockets of Srinagar, the appropriate and equitable health services not available.

Drugs and essential medical reserves have been affected; the supplies in general are in shortage in Kashmir valley and in medical camps due to lack of coordination and effective supply chain management for medical camps.

Health surveillance is largely missing. The organised and unorganised medical camps are not in coordination loop and information on health surveillance and utilisation status is not being maintained.

Poor water, sanitation and hygiene conditions are increasing health risks for spread of communicable diseases and epidemics. The appropriate measures for information and awareness of people to prevent communicable diseases are not in place.

Institutional deliveries are high, and most pregnant women deliver in the private or the Govt. Hospitals, large number of which are affected and thereby increasing the load on facilities that are operational

The routine immunization and neo born care is also under pressure in existing health facilities.

SRH services, RH supplies, emergency obstetric and new born care, prevention of gender based violence and prevention of HIV/AIDs

High incidence of UTI reported among women by Anganwadi workers. Assessment findings:

In the GB Pant Hospital, the flood waters, which stayed on for 10 days, have damaged key equipment, especially ventilators, radian warmers, incubators and oxygen concentrator.

Disruption of electricity led to failure of most systems, leading to the death of 20 neonates before they could be transported elsewhere. The Hospital is otherwise well staffed.

However, the District Hospital, which suffered no damage is now overloaded. From an average of 10 deliveries per day, the Hospital is witnessing upwards of 100 deliveries per day, the wards are crowded, and at least babies each are on the 2 functioning radiant warmers. The Sick Neonatal Care Unit is barely functional, with limited staff and equipment.

These two Hospitals, especially GB Pant Hospital, meet the requirements of skilled obstetric and neonatal care in the Kashmir Valley.

6.4 Shelter Situation Analysis

Shelter has emerged as one of the greatest concern of the affected communities as the winter season is approaching and weather in this region gets extremely cold. Almost all houses in assessed villages report extensive damage- either total or partial. Most of the structures are made using mud and brick with timber frame and CGI sheets. Due to water logging in the villages for 12-15 days, even the houses that have not fallen yet are not very safe. Most of the houses have become unsafe. The affected people are afraid of living in such houses as they are not sure when such buildings might fall.

Assessment Findings

The traditional way of outer brick mortar with internal mud is facing a severe test with the flooding, moreover the houses still standing may not be very effective once the winter sets in, the vulnerable home owners indicated the fear of increase snowing this year and expressed apprehensions about the load carrying capacity of the damages roofs

In houses made using cement and concrete that have suffered lesser or no damage, there is enormous deposit of silt due to flood water. There is a need for cleaning debris and silt deposits.

53% of assessed villages indicated that shelter was severely damaged by the flooding, 80% of villages expressed concern about th rain and snow. Of the surveyed villages 53% of the population were displaced.

79% of villages surveyed had flooding into the houses, and 54% had flooding into the villages. The sample included severely affected fillages and moderately affected villages. In 53% of villages the water level rose above 3 feet, 30% of villages the water level was between 1-3 feet.

The displaced people have concerns about exposure to rain, cold & snow as the winter is very harsh. People who have lost their houses are taking shelter in religious places, school buildings, at their relatives’ houses in some other village or in open area making some makeshift temporary shelter. Many kids and elderly have been sent to live with relatives in other areas not affected by floods.

In Anantnag block, assessment was carried out in 5 villages. Out of a total of 1635 houses, 250 are fully damaged and 958 have been partially damaged but no more livable due to cracks on walls, plinth and floors. In Bijbehara block (Anantnag), in all the 7 assessed villages, many houses have been completely damaged or on the verge of being collapsed with the impact being most severe in Tawalia, Aarwani, Jablipura. The displaced people are staying in community shelter. Significant loss in non food items in particular- beddings, and household items.

Urgent Needs

In Shopian, 62 households are displaced and in need of immediate shelter, 1307 houses severely damaged, and at risk of collapse, 19 huts were also damaged.

In Baramulla district, as per DC Office, 1755 residential structures damaged. 695 non – residential. Many villages are still completely submerged in water.

In Sambha (Jammu) there is an urgent need for temporary shelter for affected HH (fully damaged 627 houses and partially 2777). CGI sheets for 1000 HH are required as per the District Administration. Immediate shelter support is also required in the districts of Reasi, Poonch, Rajouri and Udhampur.

Dignity and privacy for women and girls have emerged as an issue in relief camps.

Lack of access and availability of safe and private latrines, especially for women and girls, have forced them for open defecation and situation is worse during flood as they remain more vulnerable.

Due to unprecedented and large scale displacement, children do not have access to school; hence, remain cut off from their peers. This creates stress and increases burden from psycho-social aspects.

Assessment Findings

Villagers have been seen pro-active in helping each other in spite of the discrimination which is otherwise observed in non-disaster times (especially ethnicity based discrimination). However, 1/3

rd communities reported lack of adequate physical protection in camps.

72% reported loss of legal documents while protection concerns of persons with disabilities largely unaddressed (68%)

28% perceive threat to their survived livestock, which will multiply the risk to their food security livelihoods as the loss to only crop of the year is very high.

As schools are closed due to destruction caused by the floods, children remain vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. However, 10% communities expressed that the children are exposed to physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

In the affected villages, some of the families were split during evacuation and relocation; as a result 10% communities reported there have been incidences of unaccompanied childrenAdolescent girls in Anantnag shared their concern that they might be sent outside their village in search of work like house maid.

Average of 5-7% Women headed households in villages of Baramulla. They are poor, mostly labourers, houseless.

Women and girls from displaced families shared that they feel safe at home; anxieties around living in camps especially from police and other “onlookers” from other villages.

Some women reported alcoholism and gambling among men in villages in Baramulla

Additional observations from assessment/visit to Phulwama district of Kashmir, 6 worst affected village’s i.e Sail, Chessor, Beigipora, Parigam, Lalhar & Kakapora.

The issue of migrant labourers from the states of Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Bangladesh also emerged. They lived on the roads, since they are considered "outsiders" and are therefore, not accepted and discriminated by the people. Instances of being thrown out of the schools where reported when they took refuge in temporary shelters.

Due to their migrant status, despite living in Kashmir since 10 to 12 years, they can’t avail any facilities of the state government.

Urgent Needs

Provision of cubicles for women and adolescent girls for privacy during bathing and for menstrual hygiene practices.

Creating Child Friendly Spaces to ensure protection of children.

Seek support from existing Child Protection Committees (wherever functional) to support activities of CFS as well monitoring on day to day basis.

Provide psychosocial counselling services and/or referrals for both children and adults

Report any missing, unclaimed and unaccompanied and unsupervised children to the missing child help line (18002002325).

6.6 Education: Situation Analysis

A significant proportion of children affected by disaster are out-of-school. Achieving Education for All requires that we ensure learning opportunities for these children and youth affected by emergencies. Disaster-affected communities themselves prioritize the provision of education for their children, often even before more immediate material needs. Education can save and sustain lives, offering physical, cognitive and psychosocial protection when delivered in safe, neutral spaces. Education restores routine and gives people hope for the future; it can also serve as a channel both for meeting other basic humanitarian needs and communicating vital messages that promote safety and well-being.

While ensuring that the education is restored in emergencies it is also important to ensure quality of education. Quality education can increase children’s earning potential, enable them to keep their families healthier and improve their ability to break out of the poverty cycle.

Assessment Findings

On the basis of Joint Rapid Needs Assessment collected from various sources such as affected families, government departments, children through one to one interactions, focused group discussions, key informant interviews and also physical verification of assessment team. However, this represents only a representatives sampling of assessment and multi-sectoral in depth assessment gives more acute and broader pictures on impact of current disaster on education and children.

In Reasi, it is only 30% secondary schools are functional after disaster.nts in all the assessed areas reported that the educational institutions are closed as schools are used for temporary shelter, community kitchen and in some places connecting roads are cut off / submerged with flood waters etc.

Children have informed that the schools are closed as they are being used as shelter and children are unable to attend due to in accessibility of roads

Almost 100% of the children of the assessed areas in Poonch reported that they have lost education material such as books, bags, uniform etc.

There is a marginal decrease of school attendance of girl children in all the assessed districts of Jammu.

In all the affected districts, most of the children, teachers and PRI members reported that the Mid Day Meal has been stopped as schools are defunct which has a huge impact on nutritional status of the children.

In Poonch, Rajouri, Samba, Reasi Districts some of the children have lost their text books, note books and school bags. Teachers have also reported that Teaching Learning Materials, Teaching Aids got wet/washed out and are not useful.

Children of the abvoe districts have also reported that the schools are running in open places due to fully or partially damages and also relief camps are running in schools.

Dropout children, wherever schools are functioning, shared that they are supporting in cleaning and reviving the houses and it will be continued few more day.

In Poonch dist, flood affected schools reported infrastructure damages, especially teaching learning material.

More than 75% villages have reported some sort of loss of educational materials

More than 25% of assessed villages reported that schools in their localities will not be functional in the next fifteen days and some parts of the poonch reported that it may take 30days.

Urgent Needs

Need to establish Temporary Learning/ Education Centres

Provide education material/kits including school bags, uniform for children who lost education material

Establish child clubs at school and community level to include children out of school, orphans are enrolled again in education system

Advocacy:



Ensure Mid-day meal programme is running in all schools

Ensure ICDS centres are functional to provide necessary nutritional support and also to ensure primary/play education

Ensure schools are reopened/restored as soon as possible


7. Recommendations

7.1 Food security and Livelihoods: Needs Immediate Mid-term (3-6 months) Areas of Multi-sectoral

Assessment

Food Security and Livelihoods

Immediate dry ration along with utensil kits needs to be provided to affected population at least for one month

Cash transfers will be an appropriate response action with vouchers being used to enable local markets and infusion of much needed liquidity. With the Eid season on the way, markets need to survive and the boost to local economy will be a good intervention strategy

Cash for work: to clean agricultural land, schools, Panchayats. Support daily wagers and marginalised communities to rebuild/repair/clean their houses. Rebuild /clean/disinfect hand pumps in the villages for clean water supply and livelihood promotion. Immediate facility of protective gears- safety kits/ masks / gloves to the persons involved in this job

There is a need for fodder and shelter for livestock in rural and some urban areas.

Some villages are dependent on local traditional occupations like handicrafts. Provide support for assets for livelihood. People also lost agricultural tools and needs to be replaced with new ones.

Advocacy around setting up new PDS shops in place where most damage happened to them and also towards improving PDS distribution for better access to food.

Guidance notes:

Focus to support and rebuilding livelihood of marginalised communities having very less savings, thus less coping capacities.

Rebuilding, cleaning of ICDS centres needs also to be done on priority basis so that nutritional requirements of children are met.

Ensure employment/livelihood to the labour force through govt. programme until normalcy is restored also to stop migration

Timely and on the spot payment of minimum wages to be ensured to all the workers engaged in the process.

Health check-ups to be mandated for force engaged in this task on daily basis.

Ensure prevention of discriminatory treatment to the communities vulnerable to it, as mentioned above, by reaching out to them directly.

Being aware of the high population of SCs in Jammu region, involved mostly in manual scavenging jobs, below are some recommendations for their protection of their dignity and safety

Ensure no child labour and trafficking takes place.

Demands for the protection and safety of Safai karamcharis involved in post flood debris clearance and exclusive employment of Safai Karmcharis to do any kind of carcases removal, manual cleaning etc. to be avoided.
