Sindh Floods 2011‐ Temporary Settlement Support Unit (TSSU)

Final Report (May 2012)

1.0 Introduction The 2011 Floods caused significant devastation across Pakistan with Sindh and Balochistan being the hardest hit provinces. The Multi‐Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) conducted by the humanitarian community indicated an affected population of 4.82 million in Sindh and 332,000 in Balochistan. The flooding caused widespread damage to over a million acres of land, primarily in the southern part of Sindh. Successive waves of extremely heavy monsoon rains resulted in major breaches in the agricultural and saline water canals, exacerbating the flood impact in various districts, notably Badin, Mirpurkhas and Tharparkar with substantial damage to health, education and communication infrastructure.1 Nearly 823,000 houses were damaged, with 41 % of them completely destroyed.2 The government of Pakistan requested the Humanitarian Country Team for international assistance on 7th September 2011. The HCT agreed on the activation of four clusters (Food Security, Health, Shelter and WASH) with two supporting clusters (Coordination and Logistics). It was also decided that the UN would support a joint rapid assessment led by UN OCHA and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). As part of the Shelter Cluster, the Temporary Settlement Support Unit (TSSU) was set up to provide coordination and monitoring support over 3,500 temporary settlements were housing 174,000 families/824,000 individuals.3 Working closely with the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) Sindh, cluster coordinators and humanitarian actors, the Shelter Cluster TSSU team conducted six rounds of assessments in six months to highlight the needs of the displaced population in temporary settlements. Key achievements of TSSU are summarized below:

• The first and second assessments were conducted in October 2011; key findings includedinformation regarding location and size of temporary settlements. Settlements were larger than average in the districts of Sanghar, Tando Muhammad Khan and Umerkot. The two largest settlements included 16,000 individuals in Umerkot and 12,000 individuals in a settlement in Tando Muhammad Khan. Breakdown providing different types of settlements including planned tented camps, planned collective centers, and spontaneous settlements is detailed in respective assessments’ reports.

• The third round was conducted in early November 2011 and indicated the largest concentration of temporary settlements in Badin, Sanghar, Mirpur Khas, Tharparkar, Umerkot and Shaheed Benazirabad

• The fourth assessment conducted in December 2011 found that 66% of temporary settlements are spontaneous while 27% are planned tent sites with the largest concentration of temporary settlements still present in Badin, Sanghar, Mirpur Khas, Tharparkar, Umerkot and Shaheed Benazirabad

• The fifth phase of the assessment was conducted in January 2012 with 241 settlements reported comprising of 10,379 families/55,953 individuals with largest concentration of temporary settlements present in Badin, Sanghar, Tharparkar and Umerkot.

• The sixth (final) assessment was conducted in February 2012. According to the findings, 95 temporary settlements, hosting 13,325 individuals (2,533 households) were present in flood affected districts of Sindh more than six months after the floods. Site residents have indicated the major obstacles for return include standing water in return areas (67%), no means to rebuild house (51%) and no means to restart livelihoods (38%). Findings of TSSU assessments contributed towards inter sectoral support particularly Shelter, WASH, Food, Health, Protection and Education cluster interventions including distribution of food ration packs, shelter/NFI, mobile health services, placement of temporary learning centers, identification of possible protection concerns, fresh water distribution and construction of latrines. Furthermore, recommendations and feedback was sought from Cluster leads in order to improve data collection process for progressive TSSU assessment rounds and incorporated into the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM)4 questionnaire. The TSSU team comprised of a central coordinator, CCCM resource persons, information management assistants and assessment assistants. Additional support from the Shelter Cluster, local partners, sub‐offices and other programme units also contributed toward the activity. 1.1 Survey Objectives The key objectives of TSSU assessments were:

• Provide an overview of key needs and gaps in relation to humanitarian support and services available to temporary settlements in each of the districts assessed

• Identify as many temporary settlements as possible in all affected districts • Identify the sizes, locations, vulnerabilities and needs of these temporary settlements. The

questionnaire was balanced to generate as much information as available, whilst enabling the maximum number of sites to be visited within the short timeframe allocated/set for the assessments. 1.2 Methodology IOM as the lead agency for the Shelter Cluster coordinated the strategy development, information management, communications and liaison for all activities relating to shelter. In coordination with the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) Sindh, the Shelter Cluster’s Temporary Settlement Support Unit (TSSU) conducted a rapid assessment to measure the impact of the 2011 floods. The assessment was conducted in severely affected districts where 2,547 temporary settlements were visited by IOM, and its partners utilising a total of 250 field team members. For the purpose, the Displacement Tracking Mechanism (DTM) questionnaire designed in Pakistan following Cyclone Yemyin (2007) and replicated by various IOM missions globally including Nepal, Philippines and Haiti was used. DTM results gave a comprehensive overview of the migration patterns’ – in and out of the settlements, together with general demographic information and multi‐cluster needs and requirements. Questions relating to WASH, Protection, Health, Food & Nutrition, Livelihood, Education, Shelter, NFIs and Livestock were included and reviewed by experts from each of the relevant sectors/clusters. In order to ensure the exercise was aligned with the needs on ground, the questionnaire was revised during the sixth phase and included information to determine obstacles for return of site residents.

4 Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is a database that brings together information from multiple sources about the location and composition of camps and temporary settlements that arise as people are displaced due to natural disasters, conflicts or complex emergencies

For the first two rounds of assessment, IOM deployed trained professional experts to conduct temporary settlement surveys together with key implementing partners in Sindh that supported data collection. 17 teams from IOM monitored and facilitated implementing partners’ field teams including dedicated staff for recording GPS coordinates. Additionally, IOM’s Humanitarian Communications (HComms) team conducted a telephonic survey during the second phase assessment to determine urgent needs of those living in settlements. The phone calls were made to site residents, site management agency or local government authority managing the site. Temporary settlements comprising of a minimum of 30 individuals or more were targeted during the TSSU assessments. In each settlement, the assessment teams sought to identify a panel of community representatives and the site management agency. Structured interviews were conducted with community representatives and the site management agency using the questionnaire and data recorded on the forms. Information provided by individuals was verified with short observations of the temporary settlement site and wherever possible, the interviews were gender balanced. With the aim for improved data quality and efficiency, the fifth and sixth phase assessments were completely conducted through electronic questionnaires using smartphones and tablets for data collection. The field teams used Personal Data Assistants (PDAs) to record needs and gaps of flood affected population. The questions focused on the displacement situation of affected population, protection in camps, hygiene and medical conditions, household and individual vulnerability and shelter needs. These assessments were also used to identify the most vulnerable for assistance. The TSSU not only assessed Shelter Cluster needs and gaps, but also included questions relevant to other clusters, i.e. WASH, Protection, Health, Education and Food to comprehensively highlight the needs of affected population. In addition, during the sixth phase assessment, an analysis on the return intentions of site residents and their obstacles of returns was put together that helped identify areas of return. All the TSSU reports along with the raw assessment data can be accessed from the Shelter Cluster website (www.shelterpakistan.org/tssu). 1.3 Data Management From September to December 2011, data was recorded on hard copy questionnaire forms and were numbered. The original copies were compiled by IOM sub‐office in Hyderabad with one copy as backup. Two professional companies based in Karachi and Islamabad were engaged for data entry. During the third and fourth assessments, other than collecting information through paper‐based questionnaires, IOM initiated testing Android based smartphones (HTC Sensation), tablets (Samsung Galaxy Tab and Microsoft Windows to collect information on electronic questionnaires. For the fifth and sixth assessment phase (January to February 2012), data collection was done using electronic means only. 2.0 TSSU Assessments

2.1 First Phase Assessment Overview The first phase of the assessment was conducted in September 2011 and assessed 2,547 temporary settlements, hosting approximately 174,500 households and 824,000 people. The two largest settlements comprised of 16,000 individuals in Umerkot and 12,000 individuals in a settlement in

4 | P a g e

Tando Muhammad Khan. Residents indicated WASH, health, education, protection, food and food security as priority areas for interventions. The first phase assessment highlighted the following key issues: • Approximately 57% of the temporary settlements were classified as spontaneous settlements • Number of planned tent sites, collective centers and others were 17%, 11% and 13% respectively • Flood affected families indicated significant needs for shelter, kitchen sets and blankets with

highest percentage of shelters recorded (82%) • 64% of temporary settlements had no latrine facilities • 78% of temporary settlements had no access to food distribution

Please refer to Annex A5 for the first and second phase assessment report. 2.2 Second Phase Assessment Overview As a follow‐up to the first phase assessments, IOM’s Humanitarian Communications (HComms) team conducted a telephonic survey for the second phase assessment in October 2011 to determine urgent needs of those living in settlements. Phone calls were made to site residents, site management and local government authority managing the site to gain information on the situation in an estimated 2,290 settlements with 123,392 families/710,103 individuals. Salient features of the second phase assessment results have been outlined below: • Majority of people living in temporary settlements were based in Mirpur Khas (68,111), Shaheed

Benazirabad (81,613), Tando Muhammad Khan (96,788) and Umerkot (107,393) • 23% of all families in the assessed temporary settlements were headed by women • The average settlement size was 324 individuals. • Shelter needs were greatest in Sanghar, Kairpur and Tando Muhammad Khan with requirements

in each of 23,666, 10,382 and 14,179 respectively 2.3 Third Phase Assessment Overview 2,572 temporary settlements, hosting approximately 86,638 households and 454,400 individuals were assessed during the third phase assessments conducted in November 2011. The largest concentration of temporary settlements was recorded in Badin, Sanghar, Mirpur Khas, Tharparkar, Umerkot and Shaheed Benazirabad. Key details from the third phase assessment included: • 59% of temporary settlements were spontaneous and 15% were planned tent sites • 75% of temporary settlements had no official camp management structure • 72% of site residents indicated their need to remain in temporary settlements for more than 1

month whilst 33% indicated more than 3 months • 84% of households required plastic sheeting • 47% of residents had to walk more than 30 minutes to get clean water

Please refer to Annex B6 for the third phase assessment report.

2.4 Fourth Phase Assessment Overview The fourth assessment was conducted in December 2011; this was the final assessment involving paper‐based questionnaires. Findings indicated that the number of families living in settlements decreased rapidly as water receded and people were able to return to their areas of origin. It was also noted that a limited number of families maintained dual presence – at their place of origin and in the settlements. Key findings from the fourth phase assessment have been outlined below: • 66% of temporary settlements were spontaneous and 27% were planned tent sites • 90% of temporary settlements had no official camp management structure • 44% of women and children felt unsafe in the temporary settlements • 85% of households required plastic sheeting • 23% of temporary settlements reported unattended deliveries/child births

Please refer to Annex C7 for the fourth phase assessment report

2.5 Fifth Phase Assessment Overview The fifth phase of the assessment was conducted in January 2012 with a total of 241 settlements consisting of 10,379 families / 55,953 individuals. Assessment teams were trained to use smartphones, tablets and to conduct the survey electronically. Through this innovation, the time allocated for data collection and analysis was drastically reduced. Findings indicated the largest concentrations’ of temporary settlements were based in Badin, Sanghar, Tharparkar and Umerkot. Major findings from the fifth phase assessment are given below: • 80% of temporary settlements were spontaneous and 14% were planned tent sites • 92% of temporary settlements had no official camp management structure • 42% of women and children felt unsafe in the temporary settlements • 24% temporary settlements shared shelter with other families

Please refer to Annex D8 for key findings from the fifth phase assessment report. 2.6 Sixth Phase Assessment Overview The sixth assessment was conducted in February. According to the findings, 95 temporary settlements, hosting 13,325 individuals (2,533 households) were present in flood affected districts of Sindh more than six months after the floods. Site residents have indicated the major obstacles for return include standing water in return areas (67%), no means to rebuild house (51%) and no means to restart livelihood (38%). The largest concentration of temporary settlements was in Umerkot. Key findings from the sixth phase assessment have been outlined below: • 90% of temporary settlements were spontaneous and 4% were planned tent sites • 37% of women and children felt unsafe in the temporary assessment • 75% of settlements still required lighting • 51% of site residents had no means to rebuild their house • 41% of site residents are more than 3 kilometers away from the nearest health clinic • 65% of temporary settlements reported having less than 2.5 liters of drinking water per person;

per day Please refer to Annex E9 for key findings from the sixth phase assessment report.

2.7 Prioritized Settlements Exercise Overview As an additional activity to the six rounds of assessment, the prioritized settlements’ exercise was conducted during which an assessment team along with district government authorities revisited the return areas to verify information gathered previously. Government authorities shared additional information on de‐watering activities in these areas. Through this verification exercise, 6 temporary assessments were identified by district authorities and TSSU that required long term support. At the conclusion of the exercise, information was presented to PDMA Sindh and humanitarian actors to ensure continued support for those residing in the six temporary settlements. Please refer to Annex F10 for key findings from the Prioritized Settlements Exercise. The Temporary Settlement Support Unit (TSSU) assessed the different types of settlements including planned tented camps, planned collective centers, and spontaneous settlements with the following key identified issues: 3.0 Comparison between TSSU Assessments As part of the sixth TSSU assessment, trends in displacement and assistance received at settlements were determined; common and emerging trends across six assessments were analyzed.

4.0 Lessons Learnt and Constraints This section summarizes the challenges faced during profiling of temporary settlements, the actions taken and lessons learned. 4.1 Data Collection Implementing partners were engaged to assist with data collection, however due to large coverage area there were instances where complete information was not available. As a solution, IOM deployed additional field monitoring teams to facilitate the process of collecting information from temporary settlements. The shift from paper‐based questionnaires to electronic questionnaires in the fifth and sixth assessment and the prioritized settlements exercise was the most significant improvement to the data collection process. By using electronic devices, questionnaires were developed in a way that included all important questions and data validation practices such as dropdown lists, check boxes and radio buttons could be used. The time taken to fill in the forms and then relay them to a centralized location was considerably reduced by using the mobile network available on the smartphones (ODK) or via email (InfoPath). 4.2 Data Entry Data entry for the first four assessments was conducted by third party data entry companies with data validation checks set up; however, the process posed problems due to missing information, illegible handwriting or inadequate understanding of the content. As data entry companies were not directly interacting with those collecting the data, additional time consumed in inserting additional/missing information delayed the finalization of the assessments. With the transition to electronic questionnaires, data entry became and information was directly transferred to the database. 4.4 Operation Challenges The following operational challenges were encountered during these assessments:

• Roads, weather conditions and areas submerged under water hindered access to certain areas. During the first assessment, some temporary settlements may have been missed due to closed roads and inaccessible areas due to floods.

• Directing assistance to settlements was challenging due to the continuous movement of people from settlements to places of origin and from collective centres to spontaneous settlements. This made it difficult to identify new settlements that may have surfaced.

• Capacities of local partner agencies to support large scale assessments were limited • In certain areas, camp management committees and site management agencies faced difficulties in

obtaining accurate information from those living in the settlements. Varying dialects spoken in different areas and settlements resulted in communication gaps that eventually was overcome with support from locally recruited personnel.

• The establishment of ‘unoccupied camps’ in return areas to potentially attract assistance; a number of families maintained dual presence at the settlements and their place of origin. TSSU staff had to carefully analyse the situation to ensure accuracy in reported figures.

• Consolidated information related to occupation of schools and government buildings was not available immediately following the floods with no clear indication of occupancy timeline for public

12 | P a g e

buildings and movement to other settlements or return areas. The shelter cluster actively liaised with local, provincial and national authorities to obtain updated information on a regular basis.

• Frequent demonstrations, strikes and rallies in Sindh posing security threats 5.0 Conclusion The assessments conducted were successfully executed and considered as the most credential source of information for those working for population affected by the 2011 floods. Currently, TSSU is supporting the Shelter Cluster in preparedness activities for 2012 and is facilitating coordination of early recovery activities amongst relevant stakeholders at provincial and district level to ensure maximum outreach and prevent duplication of activities. The introduction of electronic questionnaires on smartphones and tablets was the most significant achievement from the TSSU assessments which has been replicated by IOM Philippines and IOM Afghanistan for data collection in other programmes and will be crucial in the development of a complete information management system for the Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster. Furthermore, the TSSU team worked exceptionally well with government authorities, particularly with PDMA who were responsible for the coordination of humanitarian assistance. Although the CCCM cluster was not activated separately for Sindh Floods emergency, TSSU was able to provide an accurate picture throughout the displacement situation regarding temporary settlements facilitating channelization of assistance to the most vulnerable populations. 6.0 Supporting Documents Annex A: 1st and 2nd Phase TSSU Assessment Report Annex B: 3rd Phase TSSU Assessment Report Annex C: 4th Phase TSSU Assessment – Key Findings Annex D: 5th Phase TSSU Assessment – Key Findings Annex E: 6th Phase TSSU Assessment – Key Findings Annex F: Prioritized Settlements Exercise – Key Findings Annex G: TSSU 6th Phase Assessment – Information by Cluster, March 2012 (map) Annex H: Key Finding Analysis, March 2012 (map) Annex I: Number of Settlements Reporting Outbreaks of Disease, November 2011 (map) Annex J: Monitoring of Temporary Settlements (map)

Executive Summary Severe and widespread flooding in Sindh has affected, and is continuing to affect, an estimated 5.5 million people during the 2011 monsoon period. Despite robust interventions by the government, Pakistan decided to ask for international assistance in the emergency response. As a consequence, on the 7th September 2011, four humanitarian clusters were activated, including the Shelter Cluster. An inter-agency1 rapid assessment was agreed and this report contains the initial findings of the Shelter Cluster Temporary Settlement Support Unit (TSSU) survey. The key findings are as follows:

� 2,547 temporary settlements were assessed, hosting approximately 174,500 households and 824,000 people.

� This sample represents a fraction of the total number of temporary settlements. As of September 27th, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) had recorded some 3,261 formal camps and schools being used by displaced populations.

� This number may exclude many of the 57% of settlements surveyed by the TSSU which were spontaneous settlement sites. If spontaneous sites sites are included, the total number of sites could be close to 6,000.

� Planned tent sites represented 17% of the sites surveyed by the TSSU, collective centres 11% and others 13%.

� In Umerkhot, Sanghar, Mirpur Khas and Khaipur the proportion of

spontaneous settlements is much higher than average.

1 See Section I for the full list of participating agencies.

Annex A

of 43

� Interviewees indicated significant needs for shelter, kitchen sets and blankets, particularly in spontaneous settlements. In such sites, 82% or 84,000 families required shelters.

� Of families who had shelter, 13,445 were staying in 358 collective centres, including schools. There will be increasing pressure for these people to find alternative shelter. UNICEF estimates that 2,449 schools are currently being used as temporary settlements (27th September figures).

� Relatively high numbers of female headed households and / or children were encountered, particularly in six districts (Badin, Mirpur Khas, Sanghar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Umerkot). 23% of all families in the assessed temporary settlements were headed by women.

� The average settlement size was 324. Settlements were larger than average in the districts of Sanghar, Tando Muhammad Khan and Umerkot. There were many small settlements. The largest two were the 16,000 and 13,000 people in Umerkot, followed by 10,000 people in Sanghar.

Annex A

of 43

� Five districts, Badin, Sanghar, Khairpur, Mirpur Khas and Umerkot, have very high proportions of people displaced. Umerkot has the highest at 66% and Khairpur has the lowest at 21%. If the proportion of people displaced is over approximately 20%, then it becomes more difficult for host communities themselves to cope.

� The numbers of households in temporary settlements in Khairpur was

greater than the official numbers of damage or destroyed households published PDMA. This discrepancy could have occurred due to the rapidly evolving situation, incomplete information reported by PDMA and/or the presence of displaced populations from other districts.

� Significant WASH, Health, Education, Protection, Food and Food

Security requirements were reported by the majority of interviewees in each temporary settlement.

� Winterization items, which are currently not part of the shelter strategy

or the initial flash appeal, will be required. For those facing extended displacement or those whose houses have been destroyed but will have returned to their displacement or those whose houses have been destroyed but will have returned to their land.

There are a number of emerging trends. They are as follows:

� There have been heavy rains after this assessment was conducted. We will continue to assess the impact and share information as and when it becomes available.

� The numbers of settlements identified are expected to increase. The

rapid assessment is likely to have identified those settlements that were more accessible and larger in size. Any additional settlements identified are likely to be smaller than the current average size.

The key recommendations are as follows:

� Revisit sites on an ongoing basis in areas identified as having been severely affected as a matter of urgency.

� Conduct place of origin surveys to help to provide additional detail for PDMA and cluster members to incorporate into their statistical information.

� Develop a faster approach for collecting and analysing assessment information.

� Share contact information of the temporary settlement management teams with the IOM so ongoing needs of these settlements can continue to be assessed.

Annex A

of 43

� Share information with the shelter cluster in order that cluster agencies

can support the needs of these settlements.

� Continue to coordinate with each of the settlements, in order to identify as early as possible any emerging issues, such as pressure to leave collective centres based in schools.

A. Introduction

After the onset of heavy rains in August 2011, widespread flooding affected a population of over five million across 23 districts in Sindh, as well as an estimated 700,000 individuals in Balochistan province. Flash flooding has also caused damage and loss of life in southern Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. As a consequence, the government of Pakistan, requested the Humanitarian Country Team for international assistance. On the 7th September 2011, The HCT agreed on the activation of four clusters (Food Security, Health, Shelter and WASH) with two supporting clusters (Coordination and Logistics). It was also decided that the UN would support a joint rapid assessment led by UN OCHA and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

Working closely with the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) for Sindh and a UN information management team, the Shelter Cluster conducted one of a series of rapid assessments designed to assess the impact of the 2011 monsoon floods in Sindh. This assessment focused specifically on temporary settlements that have been established as people have been displaced by the rain and subsequent flooding. They vary in their size, location, vulnerabilities and needs. Many of the vulnerabilities and needs span multiple sectors.

Annex A

of 43

The Shelter Cluster Temporary Settlement Support Unit (TSSU) conducted the rapid assessment in 14 districts, which were prioritised using PDMA damage figures. On September 10th and 11th 2011, 2,547 Temporary Settlements were visited by IOM, the National Commission for Human Development (NCHD) and several other NGOs utilising a total of 250 field teams. A full list of the organisations involved is provided in the last section in this document.

The questionnaire contained approximately 180 questions incorporating information on:

� Demographics � Shelter & non-food relief items (NFI) needs � Multi-Sectoral Information WASH, Health, Education, Food, Protection

and Livestock Needs � Migration Statistics � Contact information of the Site Management Focal Points or Agencies

B. Objectives & Constraints

Objectives

The key objectives of the assessment are:

� Provide an overview of key issues in relation to temporary settlements in each of the districts assessed.

� Identify as many temporary settlements as possible.

� Identify the sizes, locations, vulnerabilities and needs of these temporary settlements. The questionnaire was balanced to generate as much information is available as possible, whilst enabling the maximum number of sites to be visited within the tight deadlines set for the assessments.

Constraints

While undertaking this assessment we encountered the following issues and constraints:

� Road and weather conditions prevented access to certain areas

Annex A

of 43

� As wide a range as possible of the settlements in each district was

assessed. Given the time constraints it is difficult to use this data to estimate the overall number of settlements.

� The Shelter Cluster is currently assessing the use of smart phones and

PDAs in the field to aid and improve the collection of information, particularly from assessments. At the moment, however, the default option is still the use of printed questionnaire forms to collect hand written notes. For a rapid assessment, the most serious drawback to this approach is the time taken after the assessment is completed to collate all of this information into a database.

� The information and statistics presented in this report are for Sindh

alone. However, the Shelter Cluster flash appeal is for both Sindh and Balochistan. Care should be taken when comparing the two.

Annex A

of 43

C. Key Findings

The key findings are as follows:

� 2,547 temporary settlements were assessed, hosting approximately 174,500 households and 824,000 people. The shelter cluster will estimate from these figures the overall numbers of people that are currently hosted in temporary settlements.

� Recent figures published by PDMA show that over 1.2 million households have been affected by the flooding.

� Approximately 57% of the temporary settlements were classified as

spontaneous settlements. The numbers of planned tent sites, collective centres and others were 17%, 11% and 13% respectively.

� In Umerkhot, Sanghar, Mirpur Khas and Khaipur the proportion of

spontaneous settlements is much higher than average.

� Interviewees indicated significant needs for Shelter, Kitchen Sets and Blankets, particularly in spontaneous settlements. In Spontaneous settlements, 82% of families required shelters. In these spontaneous settlements assessed so far, approximately 84,000 families require shelters.

� Of those that currently have shelter, 13,445 families were staying in 358 collective centres, including schools. There will be increasing pressure for these people to find alternative shelter. UNICEF estimates

Annex A

of 43

that 2,449 schools are currently being used as temporary settlements (27th September figures).

� 611 temporary settlements, 24% of those visited, were identified in Shaheed Benazirabad alone.

� Many temporary settlements hosted extremely vulnerable people and

had relatively high numbers of female headed households and / or children. This was particularly acute in the districts of:

o Badin o Mirpur Khas o Sanghar o Tando Muhammad Khan o Umerkot

� The population size for settlements was large with approximately 324

people per settlement in the districts of Sanghar, Tando Muhammad Khan and Umerkot.

� The proportion of households in temporary settlements in Khairpur was greater than the PDMA damage figures. This discrepancy could have occurred due to the rapidly evolving situation, underestimations by PDMA and/or the presence of displaced populations from other districts.

Annex A

of 43

� Over the coming weeks, we can assess more accurately where people will have to remain in temporary settlements rather than return to their place of origin and coordinate the distribution of additional NFIs as required in these areas.

In the majority of settlements, many interviewees noted significant requirements from a range of sectors including:

� WASH � Health � Food � Food Security � Education � Protection

In this first chart, the actual numbers of assessed settlements are shown. The chart is ordered by the number of spontaneous settlements in each district. It is clear that Sanghar, Umerkot and Mirpur Khas have large numbers of spontaneous settlements.

The second chart shows the relative proportions of each type of temporary settlement (ordered as the first chart). Badin, Jamshoro, Thatta and Naushahro Feroze had much larger proportions of planned camps than other districts.

A number of settlements were not assessed by type of settlement. More information about these will become apparent as they are reassessed in the future.

In this initial rapid assessment, it is probable that there would have been relatively more assessments of those settlements that were more accessible and larger in size. As the response continues, we will discover potentially large numbers of additional settlements that are likely to be more numerous, but smaller in size than the settlements assessed so far.

Many families are currently in collective centres, such as schools (approx. 13,000). This is mainly in Umerkot, Mirpur Khas, Badin, Khairpur, Dadu and Shaheed Benazirabad. There will be increasing pressure on these families to leave these centres as the schools open.

The Shelter Cluster will help to coordinate these locations so that cluster members can help to provide appropriate shelters in these circumstances. We will initiate communications with each of the management units in the schools to identify those that have the most urgent relocation requirements.

E. Temporary Settlement Population Demographic

Population breakdown

The following chart summarises the breakdown of the population in the sites surveyed in each district.

Overall, the temporary settlements in each district were broadly equally balanced between males and females.

The average number of people per camp varied significantly between districts. Dadu and Shaheed Benazirabad in particular had a large number of relatively small temporary settlements, with an average size of only 81 and 134 respectively. In contrast, Sanghar, Tando Muhammad Khan and Umerkot all had much larger populations (534, 402 and 1,603 respectively).

These differences are significant and may reflect the severity of the flooding in these districts. Typically, people will minimise displacement away from their own villages. Large settlements are a sign that people have been displaced further. As the more detailed questionnaire results become available, the nature of this trend will become more apparent.

The typical numbers of people per camp are summarised in the following chart.

The numbers of temporary settlements surveyed per district are summarised on the following map:

Annex A

Place of origin

Place of origin data, although useful, was not collected on this rapid assessment form. The intention was to ask these more specific questions as a follow up to these initial rapid assessment questionnaires.

Vulnerabilities

Information collected on vulnerabilities formed a core component of the assessments. In particular, the following three criteria were assessed, with higher numbers corresponding to greater vulnerability:

� Average size of the settlement � Numbers of female headed households � Numbers of children in each temporary settlement.

These are summarised by district in the following chart. Note that in order to present all three vulnerability criteria on one chart, the number of people and number of children per site has been scaled down by a factor of 10.

Annex A

of 43

From the graph above, it is clear that Badin, Matiari, Mirpur Khas, Sanghar, Tando Muhammad Khan and Umerkot all show relatively high levels of vulnerabilities. Each of these districts had a high number of people per site. In addition, the number of children in Umerkot and Sanghar was particularly high. The number of female-headed households in Badin, Sanghar and Tando Allar Yah was also high. The graph indicates:

� Umerkot had the highest number of people per site (1,600) and children per site (845), but the lowest number of female-headed households (4).

� Sanghar had the second highest number of people per site (540) and children per site (286). The number of female-headed households per site is 21.

� Badin had the highest number of female headed households (35) per site.

� Five districts, Badin, Sanghar, Khairpur, Mirpur Khas and Umerkot had very

high proportions of people displaced. Umerkot had the highest at 66% and Khairpur has the lowest at 21%. If the proportion of people displaced is over approximately 20%, then it becomes more difficult for communities to cope by themselves.

F. Findings

Many of the detailed findings will follow in the second version of this report.

Shelter/NFIs

The following chart summarises the needs for Shelter and NFIs in each district assessed.

The shelter needs across all districts assessed was 55%, and the unmet needs for blankets and kitchen sets respectively was 54% and 58%. In spontaneous settlements, the shelter needs of the families in the sites there is as much as 82%, which is equivalent to 84,000 families that require shelters.

The districts with the greatest overall need were Khairpur, Mirpur Khas, Sanghar and Tando Muhammad Khan. Needs were also relatively high in Badin, Shaheed Benazirabad and Umerkot.

Shelter needs were greatest in Sanghar, Khaipur and Tando Muhammad Khan with the requirements in each of 23,666, 10,382 and 14,179 respectively.

The need for blankets was most prevalent in Mirpur Khas, Tando Muhammad Khan and Khaipur with the requirements in each of 45,829, 40,753 and 29,454 respectively. The needs for blankets was based on an assumption of 2 blankets per family.

In addition, in Mirpur Khas, Tando Muhammad Khan, Khaipur and Sanghar, there were urgent needs for kitchen sets with requirements in each of 22,946, 20,599, 15,536 and 14,393 respectively.

Coverage by Tehsil

The following chart shows the coverage of each district by numbers per tehsil. It shows that of those districts that were assessed, usually all of the tehsils were visited.

General Findings

The following observations are noted:

� According to the PDMA, Badin, Mirpur Khas and Shaheed Benazirabad were the most affected districts.

� The highest number households damaged were in Badin (382,562), followed by Shaheed Benazirabad (300,000) and Mirpur Khas (118,110).

� Of the 11 districts under consideration, the number of households in temporary settlements was the highest in Mirpur Khas (23,340), Khairpur (22,242), Tando Myhammadad Khan (18,841) and Umerkot (18,280).

� The most people in temporary settlements were in Mirpur Khas (68,111), Shahid Benazirabad (81,613), Tando Muhammad Khan (96,788) and Umerkot (107,393).

� The proportion of households in temporary settlements in Khairpur was greater than the PDMA damage figures. This discrepancy could have occurred due to the rapidly evolving situation, underestimations by PDMA and/or the presence of displaced populations from other districts.

Site management

The vast majority of the camps are either managed by the government or individually (48% and 42% respectively).

In most cases temporary settlements that were spontaneous or classified as “other” tended to be much larger than planned sites. The average number of families in the former was approximately 80 compared to only 38 in the planned sites.

Settlements classified as “other” tended to be a mixture of road side spontaneous settlements, provided with a specific location as well as occasionally schools and government buildings.

Average Number of Families By Type of Settlement

Annex A

of 43

The following chart shows the numbers of families per settlement in broad ranges. The average settlement size contains 61 families (324 people). From the distribution below it is clear that this is skewed heavily by a small number of large temporary settlements above 500 families in size of which there are 39. The median number of families in the settlements assessed was only 18.

The chart below summarises the multi-sectoral needs by district. Badin, Khairpur, Sanghar, Shaheed Benazirabad and Tando Muhammad Khan contain

the temporary settlements with the most overall needs. This chart is explained, sector by sector, in the following sections.

Population movement (distances, secondary/tertiary displacements)

65% of the people have travelled less than 10km to reach their current locations (with 50% travelling less than 5km). However, Dadu, Shaheed Benezirabad and Badin have a higher proportion of people who had to migrate over 10km to reach dry land or a safe place to stay, with 86%, 56% and 46% respectively.

For most families in the sites assessed, this is their first migration since the flood started. At the time of the assessment, there was very little movement out of the temporary settlements. 12% were waiting for further relocation arrangement and only 3% of the families have left. Of these, most have set off to return home (64%) or to stay with host families (22%). The main concerns for those staying on in the sites are security and accessibility of their home villages (83%).

Communication needs

Friends and families are the largest source of information for those living in temporary settlements. In spite of that, most would prefer to have information either from radios (58%) or verbally from organisations (40%). However, in Khairpur, Matiari, Shaheed Benazirabad and Tando Muhammad Khan only 5-20% of the families own radios.

WASH

Overall, 64% of temporary settlements had no latrine facilities. Lack of these facilities was particularly prevalent in Planned Tent Sites, Spontaneous Settlements and other settlements (65%, 79% and 75% respectively). Note that most of the settlements classified as “other” were in fact spontaneous settlements by the roadside.

In the following chart, two key indicators of WASH needs are shown; the % of settlements where latrines are not present and the % of settlements where people are queuing for water. Access to water is most critical in Matiari, Mirpur Khas and Shadadkot, with queuing required in over 40% of settlements. Latrines were generally quite rare, and particularly so in Khairpur, Matiari, Sanghar, Tando Allah Yar and Umerkot all of which have no latrines in over 80% of temporary settlements.

G. Recommendations � Revisit sites in areas identified as having been severely affected as a matter

of urgency.

� Conduct place of origin surveys to help to provide additional detail for PDMA and cluster members to incorporate into their statistical information.

� Develop a faster approach for collecting and analysing assessment information.

� Share contact information of the settlement management teams with the IOM so that the ongoing needs of these settlements can continue to be assessed by phone.

� Share information with the shelter cluster in order that cluster agencies can support the needs of these settlements.

� Continue to coordinate with each of the settlements, in order to identify as early as possible any emerging issues, such as pressure to leave collective centres based in schools.

Annex A

of 43

H. Methodology

Timeline and geographic target

The assessment was undertaken on the 10th and 11th September 2011.

14 districts were prioritised based on the latest PDMA information available on the numbers of damaged and destroyed houses, with the assessments focused on those most severely affected. The full list of districts is shown in the results section below and is presented on the following map below.

Annex A

of 43

To prioritise the districts, the Shelter Cluster defined, in conjunction with the PDMA, three levels of impact:

� Severely Affected: Over 100,000 people affected by the flooding and 50,000 houses damaged or destroyed.

� Moderately Affected: Over 100,000 people affected by the flooding or 50,000 houses damaged or destroyed.

� Affected: All other districts in which people and / or houses have been affected by the flooding.

According to this classification, 5 districts are severely affected while 7 are moderately affected. The assessment included all of the severely and moderately affected districts, with the exception of Tharparkar. The assessment also included the districts of Qambar Shadadkhot, Matiari and Dadu, which are becoming increasingly affected as the monsoon rains continue.

Questionnaire and Data collection

The questionnaire was designed using a template that was used in Haiti (2010), Nepal (2009) and the 2010 floods in Pakistan. The questions selected were designed to give a detailed account of the migration patterns into and out of the settlements, together with general demographic information and multi-cluster needs and requirements. Questions for WASH, Protection, Health, Food & Nutrition, Education, Shelter, NFIs and Livestock were all included. These questions were reviewed by experts from each of the relevant sectors.

Annex A

of 43

IOM deployed teams trained in surveying temporary settlements and also called on key NGOs in Sindh, such as NHCD, to support data collection with teams in the field. Each team comprised 2-3 people and visited approximately 10 sites per day.

In each settlement, the assessment teams sought to identify both a panel of community representatives and the site management agency, if these were present. Structured interviews were conducted with community representatives and the site management agency using the questionnaire and data recorded on the forms. Information provided was verified with short observations of the temporary settlement site. Where possible, the interviews were gender balanced. The shelter cluster used as many female enumerators as possible in order to learn more about the needs of women in the temporary settlements.

The following chart summarises the number of assessments that were conducted in each district.

Data Management

Data was recorded on paper copies of the questionnaire. Each of these was given a unique number. The hard copy was returned to one of two field offices (Hyderabad or Sukkur) each evening and a copy of the form was made as a backup. The form was then scanned and uploaded to a website (tssu.iomapps.org). In Karachi the forms were downloaded, printed and then shipped to a data entry specialist company.

The data entry was conducted in two phases; to maximise the timeliness of the information. A first quick parse of the information on each assessment form was conducted to identify the demographics and shelter and NFI needs of each settlement. A second phase, currently underway, is extracting all the remaining information from each form.

At each stage of the process, the numbers and unique identifiers of the forms were cross-referenced and quality checks were made to ensure data integrity. Random checks on the accuracy of the data entry were also made on a 10% sample of the forms.

Constraints

While undertaking this assessment we encountered the following issues and constraints:

� Road and weather conditions prevented access to certain areas

� As wide a range as possible of the settlements in each district was assessed. Given the time constraints it is difficult to use this data to estimate the overall number of settlements.

� The Shelter Cluster is currently assessing the use of smart phones and

PDAs in the field to aid and improve the collection of information, particularly from assessments. At the moment, however, the default

Annex A

of 43

option is still the use of printed questionnaire forms to collect hand written notes. For a rapid assessment, the most serious drawback to this approach is the time taken after the assessment is completed to collate all of this information into a database.

� The information and statistics presented in this report are for Sindh

alone. However, the Shelter Cluster flash appeal is for both Sindh and Balochistan. Care should be taken when comparing the two.
