PAKISTAN EMERGENCY SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

October 2014

“Disaster risk reduction has been a part of USAID’s work for decades. ……..we strive to do so in ways that better assess the threat of hazards, reduce losses, and ultimately protect and save

more people during the next disaster.” Kasey Channell,

Acting Director of the Disaster Response and Mitigation Division of USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA)

Tando Allahyar

“Disasters can be seen as often as predictable events, requiring forward planning which is integrated in to broader development programs.”

Helen Clark, UNDP Administrator, Bureau of Crisis Preven on and Recovery. Annual Report 2011

iMMAP has been providing Information Management [IM] and Disaster Risk Reduction [DRR] capacity building services in Pakistan since 2010. Based on our lessons learned, while interacting with thousands of humanitarian partners, private sector organizations, and government officials, both national and international; we believe that the following are the 7 basic requirements to improve Disaster Response and Management life-cycle:

1. Information Management [IM] is a must for effective disaster response and monitoring; 2. Coordination among all stakeholders [both national and international] is of utmost importance to

reduce redundancy and duplication in such critical situations – going beyond clusters and getting connected with local community representatives;

3. Appropriate logistic arrangements are critical for humanitarian relief and mitigation. However, it must be born in mind that logistic requirements drastically vary from disaster to disaster, based on its time, geography, and nature;

4. Disasters and Development are intimately connected. Its important that all disaster responders are aware of the long term implications of their actions of relief and early recovery;

5. It is important that we, as disaster responders, take full responsibility of self-accountability and transparency not only to the satisfaction of the government officials but the general public as well. Not-for-profit sector must be driven by a cause!

6. National, Regional, and International Public/ Private Partnerships [PPP] is the only way to implement sustainable Disaster Risk Management [DRM] measures;

7. Media must be integrated in our response efforts. This vastly helps to disseminate the right information, minimize duplication of efforts, and make all stakeholders aware of your organization’s input/activities.

Pakistan Emergency Situation Analysis [PESA] is a series of District Profiles (DP), which is developed with the above-mentioned 7 basic requirements in focus. PESA DPs are one of the most effective iMMAP and its collaborating partners in Pakistan, which directly contribute to thousands of humanitarian relief providers’ effective emergency response and disaster management.

I can not conclude this note without thanking iMMAP Pakistan and Alhasan Systems team that has contributed tirelessly, under extreme emergency pressure, to consistently deliver their best on time, during the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 ongoing floods, 2013 earthquake in Balochistan, and also this drought emergency in Tharparkar, Sindh.

I particularly wish to express my great appreciation for the relentless efforts of staff members of both organizations for their work with an exceptional dedication. This includes: Mr. Naeem Ahmad, Ms. Sumbal Kazmi, Mr. Sarfaraz Ayub Meher Din, Mr. Farooq Laghari, Mr. Qassim Jan, Mr. Muhammad Javed Iqbal, Mr. Muneeb Muzammil, Mr. Salman Mulk, Ms. Fatima Ali, Ms. Mahwish Muzamil, Mr. Zohaib Fazal, Dr. Ahmad Ali Malik, Ms. Fatima Gillani, Mr. Zeeshan Ahmad, Mr. Muhammad Shafique, Mr. Nouman Ali, Col. [R] Aftab Awan, Mr. Muhammad Akhtar, Mr. Hassan Ahmad, Mr. Saeed Ahmed Ch; Mr. Naseer Ahmad, Col. [R] Arshad Mahmood, Mr. Moeen Gillani, Mr. M. Zubair Iqbal, Mr. Musadiq Ali, Mr. Waqas Ahmad, and Mr. Muhammad Wajid our Admin & Logistics Officer.

FORWARD Timely response to a disaster may save precious human lives and reduce economic costs. However, natural disasters, typically, occur unexpectedly. Consequently, in most cases, the afflicted population lacks the necessary tools and capacity to handle such tragic occurrences and the devastation is manifold more than it should be. “Before the next disaster hits, now is the time to recommit to making smart investments that save lives, property, and money. Whether at home or abroad, measures to improve response, increase disaster management capacity, plan and prepare, can have dramatic dividends.” (Kasey Channell: Acting Director of the Disaster Response Team for USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance.) It is so true, as preparation for unexpected calamities is a tough task. However, if certain precautions are taken, they might lessen the overall damage. This series of district profiles, prepared by iMMAP in claboration with its private sector partner Alhasan Systems, is one such effort under its COPDM project funded by USAID, to enhance Government of Pakistan, humanitarian organizations and all other stakeholders’ efforts towards rapid needs assessment, disaster response and mitigation. These profiles are divided into four sections namely background information, disaster history and its impact, hazard vulnerability and capacity assessment (HVCA) and coordination and support services. Background information provides an overview of history, geography, culture, and communication infrastructure. It also provides detailed analyses of demography, livelihood, food security, health and education. The second section provides detailed history of disasters in the district; information about losses and damages; and gap analyses of above mentioned sectors. HVCA section provides detailed analyses of district hazards, vulnerabilities and capacities that exist in the local community. Coordination and support services section gives information on whom to contact in emergency/disaster situations. The motivation stems from the idea that at the time of disaster all the stakeholders in general and the donors and disaster managers in particular can have a fair idea of what to expect and how to prepare for. It is expected that this contribution of ours would lead to a well-coordinated and coherent response by different humanitarian organizations on managing similar disasters. Having stated the above, it is very candidly admitted that these profiles are by no means exhaustive and in fact require a lot more input to qualify these as good enough documents for disaster preparedness. However, these are live documents and are continuously improved upon as and when required. There appears to be an element of repetition, which is owed to the fact that while these documents depict the district profiles in normal circumstances, the same then provide a detail account of the impact of the emergency assistance provided by the government and the humanitarian organizations and the remaining gaps. Due to time and resources constraints, the information provided in these profiles is mainly base on secondary source data. Depending on the end users’ response and funding availability, this exercise would be extended to other districts of the country.

1 Background Information 1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 History District Tando Allahyar was previously a taluka of district Hyderabad. On the 5th of May 2005, this taluka was separated from Hyderabad and was awarded the status of a district. Tando Allahyar is one of the oldest cities of Sindh. It has seen many changes under different rulers. The Soomra dynasty ruled this region about 1,000 years ago. The Soomras1 came in this region after the invasion of Muhammad Bin Qasim in 712 A.D. Tando Allahyar came into being as a small village. Later on, this region was ruled by the Kalhoro dynasty, from 1717 to 1783. Under the Kalhoros’ rule, a tribe named Dals was in charge of this region. The name of the Sardar of Dals was Kundhi. Hence Tando Allahyar was called Kundhi-Jiwasi. Many developments were carried out during this period. First, a military cantonment was established and other developments, especially in trade, were initiated. Many kinds of cloths were woven here, especially silk and cotton and many products made from silk were also introduced. Besides, the industries of cloth printing and leather were well developed2. In 1783 A.D, the Kalhoras were defeated by the Talpur dynasty and Sindh was divided, for administrative purposes, into seven parts, by the Talpur Mirs. Kundhi Jiwasi was awarded to Mir Fateh Ali Khan Talpur (Awal). After his death, his elder son Mir Allahyar Khan was crowned. The city is called Tando Allahyar after his name3. In 1843, the British annexed Sindh and built a communication network throughout the province. They built roads, schools, dispensaries and many other civic amenities.

1.2 Demography In Pakistan, male population is more than the female population and is among those four countries where life expectancy for female, at birth, is less than that of males8. Sex ratio in Tando Allahyar is 108 male per 100 females, which is more than the ratio at the National level that is 1069. Though there could be other possible reasons for such a difference in male to female ratio, one probable reason could be underreporting of females during national surveys. Besides, a very high maternal mortality rate10 and poor health care at the district and provincial level are likely to be instrumental for this difference. District Tando Allahyar, like majority of the other districts in Sindh, is rural by its characteristics. As 78 percent of the population resides in rural areas as compared to the 22 percent that resides in the urban areas.

1.3 Livelihood

1.3.1 Main Sources of Livelihood/Income The sources of livelihood are diversified in this district and include agriculture, business, casual labor, trade, services and government jobs. The following table shows the number of mouzas reporting sources of employment in district Tando Allahyar. Majority of the male population is associated with agriculture (in 46% of rural mouzas) followed by labor (in 32% of rural mouzas), While in the category of some, services sector, personal business and labor is frequent in male population. But the female participation is negligible in agriculture, as only 8% of the mouzas have reported females’ involvement in agriculture sector as 34% of the villages have reported higher female participation in labour. In the category of some, female participation can be seen in services, agriculture, personal business and casual labor.

The categories under which these mouzas have reported against different livelihood sources are: • Mostly: population of 50 percent and above • Some: population between 1 percent and 50 percent • None: less than or equal to 1 percent

1.3.2 Agriculture Agriculture contributes approximately 21 % to the gross domestic production of the country. Tando Allahyar contributes significantly in agriculture sector of Sindh because its climate is suitable for production of various food items including the Kharif crops of maize, rice, sugarcane, cotton and bajra and Rabi crops of wheat, barley, Gram and barseen. In addition to these, mango orchards are abundant in this district. Mouza statistics have reported that mango orchards are widespread in 77% of the mouzas14.

Total reported area of the district is 173,000 hectares, out of which 118,000 hectares (70%) are cultivated. Within the cultivated area, 75,000 hectares are net sown15, whereas 43,000 are

1.3.3 Industry District Tando Allahyar has an industrial base, which complements the agriculture production of this district. Mehran sugar mill is the largest industry of the district. Besides, small cotton ginning factories are also abundant in the district. Also, Flour and oil mills have been established in this district19.

16 Current Fallow means the part of the cultivated area which has not been used for cropping during the year under reference but for which the total vacant period does not exceed three crop seasons. 17 Sindh Development Statistics, (2008), Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) 18 Culturable waste means all cultivable land not actually cultivated. It should include all grazing and other land not included under forest.

1.3.4 Livestock Good breed of buffalos and cows are found in the district. Sheep, goats, camels, horses, asses and mules are some of the other main livestock of the district. The number of large animals exceeds the number of smaller animals, showing people’s preferences for keeping cattle rather than goats or sheep. Livestock in the district suffers in particular from shortage of high quality feed.

1.4 Food Security Food security can be broadly divided into four components20:

Availability of food in terms of sufficient quantity available through domestic production or imports

Access to adequate resources given the socio-political and economic arrangements of the community

Utilization Refers to the body’s ability to make use of the nutrients provided. This requires clean water sanitation and health care

Stability includes an all-time access and utilization of food without any fear of losing it due to any shock (natural calamity, economic shock). This component points out to sustainability of food in an area.

1.4.1 Availability Wheat along with other crops like maize, tobacco and sugarcane is produced in most of the rural mouzas of district Tando Allahyar. Besides, vegetables and fruits are also produced in the district. As the following table shows, cash crops are abundantly cultivated in the district. Cotton and sugarcane are cropped in 99% and 98% of the mouzas respectively. Wheat is dominant among food crops cultivated in this district.

Food availability not only depends on the obtainability of wheat but also depends on other cereals like maize etc. As far as cereal food is concerned, this district is producing sufficient food for its food requirements. In addition to cereals, animal based food (meat, milk, milk products) availability is also important for total food availability, and that is also produced in surplus quantities in the district. Combining both the crop based and animal based food production; district Tando Allahyar is producing surplus food21.

1.4.2 Access Per capita availability of food items alone is not a reliable indicator of food security. If the available food is socio-economically not accessible to the masses, it cannot make a society food secure. The income level of the households reflects access to food, capacity of consumption

20 Define by Food & Agriculture Organization 21 Food Insecurity in Pakistan (2009), Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI), Islamabad

FOOD SECURITY14

and even food poverty. Average monthly income of a household (HH) in this district is less than Rs.11, 000/-, which is considered as extremely low22.

Child dependency (ratio between children and household members in economically active age group) is one of the limiting factors in meeting the daily needs of households and is an important indicator to measure access to food. The increased dependency ratio exacerbates the spending of the household on childcare and food, which results in per capita reduction of socio-economic access to food. Child dependency ratio is high in this district. The share of household expenditures on food is 61.8% of the total income in Sindh. So the inadequate level of income, high food expenditures, high child dependency and high inflation (particularly food inflation) hinders access to food23.

The table below shows physical access to food in district Tando Allahyar by providing distances of different mouzas from the wholesale markets. Average distance from the fruit and vegetable market of a mouza is 18 and 16 kilometres respectively, whereas the distance from the grain market is 17 kilometres. Such long distances impede access to food.

1.4.3 Utilization In addition to food availability and access, proper assimilation of food in the body is essential. Food utilization and stability depicts this absorption of food and its sustainability. Improved sanitation facility, clean drinking water, health infrastructure and individual health status along with female literacy play vital role in food absorption. According to Food Security Analysis (FSA) 2009, access to improved drinking water is extremely low in this district24.

Sanitation conditions in district Tando Allahyar are relatively poor where only 46% of the households use flush toilets and 38% of the households have non-flush toilets. The sanitation facility is comparatively worse in rural areas of the district and the female literacy rate is 46% only.

In a nutshell, this district has sufficient availability of food, poor socio-economic access; and relatively poor food utilization environment. Combining all the indicators of food security i.e. availability, access, utilization and stability; district Tando Allahyar is at the borderline of food security.

1.5 Health and Immunization 1.5.1 Health Facilities The total number of public sector health facilities in district Tando Allahyar is 3525. There is no District Headquarter hospital and only one tehsil headquarter hospital with a capacity of 26 beds. These health facilities are sufficient for only 26% of the estimated 2014 population of the district26. Table 1.5.1 shows the details of these health facilities.

1.5.2 Immunization Immunization coverage estimates are used to monitor immunization services, and to guide disease eradication and elimination efforts. This indicator is the measure of the percentage of children of age 12-23 months, who have received all the doses of BCG vaccine, three doses of polio & pentavalent vaccines and 1 dose of measles vaccine in a given year.

In district Tando Allahyar, around 51% pregnant women have received tetanus toxoid injections. In urban areas this percentage is 77% and in rural areas it is 43%27. Record based28 immunization data of district Tando Allahyar shows that 38% (Male 40%: Female 37%) of the children aged 12-23 months have received full immunization. In the urban areas this percentage is 55 percent (Male 61%: Female 51%) and in the rural areas it is 32% (Male 32%: Female 32%). The corresponding graph shows the percentage of children of 12-23 months that have been immunized by the type of Antigen based on records29.

2 Disaster History and Its Impact 2.1 Disaster in District

2.1.1 Disaster History District Tando Allahyar is vulnerable to heavy rainfall. It was severely hit by 2011 and 2012 rains/floods. The relative severity of floods was ranked as medium in district Tando Allahyar. River Indus, after receiving water from five of its tributary rivers, causes floods in the northern and southern parts of Sindh province. The upper region of Sindh Province comprises of the districts of Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Kashmore, Larkana and Kamber Shahdadkot on the right bank of River Indus and Ghotki, Sukkur, Khairpur, Naushahroferoze and Shaheed Benazirabad on the left bank of River Indus. These districts on the right and left banks of River Indus are prone to severe threat when River Indus is in high flood. The districts in the lower Sindh, prone to riverine flooding, include Dadu, Jamshoro and Thatta on the right bank of River Indus and Tando Muhammad Khan, Matiari and Hyderabad on the left bank of the river. The length of River Indus along the province is 750 kms long.

Vulnerable points of the district are Tando Allahyar I Tando Allahyar II, Tando Allahyar III, Tando Allahyar III, Tando Allahyar IV, Shaikh Moosa, Pak Sanghar, Dhingano Bozdar, , Chamber I, Chamber II, Dad Khan Jarwar, Began Jarwar, Sanjar Chang, hando Mari, Mirabad, Pyaro Lund, Dasori, Tando Soomro and Tando Soomro.

2.1.1 Impact of Disaster on Demography As mentioned above, Tando Allahyar was severely hit by rains/floods in 2011, though, the district falls under the category of medium risk districts as declared by PDMA Sindh34. In 2011 rains/floods, 1,609 villages/settlements of 19 union councils in 3 talukas were affected. A population of 569,829 persons was affected and there were 3 casualties and 5 injuries. In total, 70,163 houses were damaged. The district was completely inundated and 66 percent of the sown area was affected. The 2012 rains caused one casualty in the district.

2.1.2 Impact of Disaster on Livelihood & Agriculture Along with the demographic loss due to floods 2011, the loss to agriculture sector exacerbated the sources of livelihood for the people of this district. The following table shows the loss to agriculture sector of this district. Table 2.1-2: Crop Loss and Area Damaged Due to Floods 2011

Major Crops Area

Cotton Area sown (Acre) 58,936 Area Damaged (Acre) 53,632 % 91%

Rice Area sown (Acre) 250 Area Damaged (Acre) 147 % 59%

Sugarcane Area sown (Acre) 46,166 Area Damaged (Acre) 11,541 % 25%

Other Area sown (Acre) 18,303 Area Damaged (Acre) 16,325 % 89%

Total Area Sown 123,654 Total Area Damaged 81,645

Source: Flood Situation Update, 2011, Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO)

As given in the table above, 91% of the cotton crop was damaged along with 59% of the rice crop, 25% sugarcane and 89% of other crops. 179 livestock heads died due to the floods35.

2.1.3 Analysis of Food Security Situation As established in the previous section, district Tando Allahyar is on the borderline of food insecurity. Floods of 2011 worsened the existing situation of the population. Thus the indicators of food security i.e. availability, access, utilization and stability showed dismal situation in this district.

Since district Tando Allahyar is agro-based, majority of the households are engaged in agriculture farming and livestock rearing activities and the rest depend on non-agriculture activities/casual labour etc. Among these three types of the households, empirical studies have shown that poverty is relatively higher in the non-agriculture households, followed by livestock

DISASTER HISTORY AND ITS IMPACT24

households and small farmers36. It has been stated in the previous section that many individuals of this flood affected district have lost their homes (70,163 houses were damaged), their crops (86.9% crop area damaged) and heads of livestock (179 livestock died). Due to a weak industrial base, the sources of income of households, situated in this severely affected district, are less diversified, with their heavy dependence on agriculture, livestock and casual labour. All the social indicators i.e. large household size, poor literacy level, higher mortality rate and inadequate infrastructure with poor access to education and health facilities show a higher level of poverty and deprivation in this district.

Through the destruction of roads, transport and market infrastructure, the floods had a significant negative impact on the commodity market. As a result, the functioning capacity of the markets (transporters, processors, wholesalers and retailers) was decreased with upward movement of transaction costs and shortage of food commodities. This phenomenon hindered the socio-economic access to food in the district37.

The losses to crops and livestock along with the poor functioning capacity of the market significantly reduced the expected income of the population of this district. Thus the floods and rains affected people of the district Tando Allahyar had to face a number of key challenges to recover their livelihood, agriculture and livestock; directly affecting the food security situation.

2.1.4 Impact of Disaster on Health The Floods, caused by heavy rains in 2011, resulted in damage to the public health infrastructure in Sindh Province. Basic health units and rural health centres suffered the most damage. According to the Civil Society Floods Situation Report 2011, 6 BHUs were damaged in district Tando Allahyar that is 43% of the total number of BHUs in the district. However, as per data collected, the flood affected health facilities in the district had adequate stocks of medicines, equipment and other consumables for one to two weeks. The table below shows the availability of medicines and other items’ stock, during the floods of 2011, in district Tando Allahyar38.

The WHO also reported that after 2011 floods there was a serious need to address health issues in the district. The following recommendations were made:39

Enhance routine immunization because a large number of vaccine preventable diseases are reported from the district (Pertussis 12 cases, NNT one case and Measles 45 cases) this year.

Provide Round the clock facility of MCH and RH services especially at district, taluka and RHC level.

Establishment of roper dengue ward Rapid response team by health department Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) center at DHQ Tando Allahyar

2.1.5 Impact of Disaster on Education School facilities were also adversely affected in this district as 78 schools were damaged due to floods 201140.

3 Hazard Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis 3.1 Hazard Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis Prior to analyzing existing hazards; vulnerability to hazards and capacity to cope with the same of the district and its population needs to be understood. An explanation of the terms used is given under each heading, as follows:

3.1.1 Hazard A hazard is a situation which triggers disaster. But it can be also defined as:

“A potentially damaging physical event, phenomenon or human activity that may cause the

Loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation”41

A hazard is a situation that has the potential to harm the health and safety of people or to damage plant and equipment. Hazards can be divided into two categories.

Natural Hazard Natural hazards are natural processes or phenomena within the earth system that may constitute a damaging event. For example typhoons, tsunamis, earthquake and volcanic eruption cyclones, earthquakes, floods, landslides, storms are natural hazards.

Man-made Hazard Any industrial, nuclear, or transportation accident, explosion, power failure, resource shortage, or other condition, resulting from man-made causes, which threaten or cause damage to property, human suffering, hardship or loss of life constitute ‘Man-made Hazard.

Hazard matrix of District42

Hazard Frequency Area affected/union councils Severity/Force Year

Heavy rains monsoon Entire district Medium 2011,2012 Epidemics Seasonal -do- Low Every year Earthquakes Rare -do- Low 2013 Transport accidents Frequent -do- Low Every year

3.1.2 Vulnerability Vulnerability is a situation, which is:

“The attributes and circumstances of a community or system that makes it sensitive, vulnerable or susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard43”

41 “Urban Governance and Community Resilience Guides”, (2010), Asian Disaster Preparedness Center 42 Disaster Risk Management Plan , District Tando Allahyar Government of Sindh (2008)


Vulnerability precedes disasters, contribute to their severity, hinder and obstruct the disaster response. It is divided into three parts:

Physical/Material Vulnerability Weakness of the built environment and lack of access to physical and material resources i.e. living in hazard prone areas or in unsafe buildings, lack of savings, insurance and assets constitutes physical/material vulnerability.

Social/Organizational Vulnerability Social/Organizational Vulnerability refers to inequality in social systems that discriminate against and marginalize certain groups of people from accessing resources and services. People who have been marginalized in social, economic or political terms are vulnerable to disasters. Weakness in social and organizational areas may also cause disasters e.g. deep division can lead to conflict and war. Conflict over resources due to poverty can also lead to violence.

Attitudinal/Motivational Vulnerability Existence of fatalistic myths and religious beliefs influence people’s vulnerability to disaster risks. If people believe that disasters are ‘acts of God’ and if they have low confidence in their ability to affect change or have ‘lost heart’ and feel defeated by events they cannot control, these people are often harder hit by disasters.

43 Participant’s Course Workbook, Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC)

HAZARD VULNERABILITY AND CAPACITY ANALYSIS30

Vulnerability Matrix

Physical/material Social/organizational Attitudinal/motivational

District Tando Allahyar is vulnerable to heavy rainfalls and floods. In 2011 rains/floods, 1,609 villages/settlements of 19 union councils in 3 talukas were affected. A population of 569,829 persons was affected and there were 3 casualties and 5 injuries. In total, 70,163 houses were damaged. In 2012, according to the NDMA one death occurred due to rain.

Tando Allahyar is a newly created district. According to 1998 census, total population of the talukas that formed this district was 514,752, while for the year 2014 the estimated population is 685,598. The district has an estimated growth rate of 1.8544% per annum, which means that the population will double itself in 37.84 years45 from 1998. Such rapid growth in population gives birth to many socio-economic problems and makes the area vulnerable to different natural and made-made hazards.

After the floods, a Sense of dependency was found in most of the people of the affected areas. In most cases, after the floods, people didn’t bother themselves to construct damaged boundary walls of their houses because they wanted it to be constructed by the NGOs, free of cost.

Most settlements of the district are vulnerable that they can’t cope with hazards like heavy rains and earthquakes. Most houses of the district are made of mud or low standard materials, which make them vulnerable against heavy rains/floods and earthquakes. Such vulnerabilities when face these hazards create a disastrous situation.

District Tando Allahyar is rural by its characteristics like majority of the other districts in Sindh. 78 per cent of the population resides in rural area as compared to the 22 per cent that resides in the urban areas. Most people in rural areas lack job opportunities, health and educational facilities, which escalates their risk against different hazards. [floods, rains etc.]

Lack of awareness concerning disasters risks further escalates peoples’ risks e.g., after heavy rains when people didn’t find fresh water for drinking, they started drinking contaminated water without boiling, which exposed them to many waterborne diseases.

The fertile agricultural land of Tando Allahyar was badly damaged by heavy rains of Sep, 2011. These rains inundated and affected about 66 per cent of the sown area of the district. Farmers received heavy damages due these rains and faced financial crises. This situation further escalated their vulnerabilities against future disasters.

Dependent population (the population that is less than 15 years and more than 65 years of age including widows and divorced women) in the case of Tando Allahyar district is 48 per cent of the total population and the working population is 52 per cent, which shows that dependency ratio46 in the district is 92 per cent, which is very high.

In relief distribution, marginalized groups such as women, children and disabled suffer a lot. They are unable to compete with the rest for NFIs and other relief items because they are the weakest in the crowd.

Community infrastructure of the district is in a vulnerable state because heavy rains of 2011 and 2012 have badly damaged them. These rains damaged a number of

The education status is quite poor in Tando Allahyar. The overall illiteracy rate (for the population of 10 years and above) is 54%; for male it is 37 and for female it is 69 %, while Adult

People of the district didn’t take much interest in disaster risk management because they had rarely suffered from disasters in recent history. But recent rains have

schools, roads, bridges and markets. Though these schools are declared vulnerable, still people sent their children to these schools.

illiteracy rate (15 years and above) is 54 %. For the urban rural comparison, rural illiteracy rate is higher than the urban. Illiterate people cannot be easily mobilized and made aware of the different disasters’ risks.

given them a wakeup call to be ready for any kind of disasters.

Sanitation conditions in district Tando Allahyar is not good in terms of using toilets, where only 38% of the households47 use flush toilets. In rural areas just 16% households have flush toilet facility, while 59% have non flush toilets in the district.

There is dearth of Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction CBDRM projects in the district. Focus of the organizations is only towards relief side.

The general public is unaware and untrained on disaster risk management (DRM) and very rarely seminars and workshops on DRM are held to create awareness.

Drainage and sewerage system of the urban areas are not constructed properly and disaster risk reduction measures are not incorporated while such construction is carried out. Consequently even small amount of rain blocks the drains, which inundates the streets, houses and markets.

The District Disaster Risk Management Plan (DDRMP) of Tando Allahyarhas not been produced up till now by the District Disaster Management Authority. These plans present brief analysis of hazards, vulnerabilities and capacities of the district, disaster history and action plan to overcome and mitigate these risks.

The District’s Tehsil Governments lack resources like tractors, dewatering machines, which can be used for dewatering the flooded water. Stagnant water results in spread of malaria etc. Tractors can be used to pick waste material and dump into far places.

Risk assessment is the process of hazard identification, analysis and determination of appropriate ways to have control over these hazards. On the district level, there is a dearth of risk assessment of disaster prone areas, by the local authorities.

Heavy rains in 2011 resulted in damage to the public health infrastructure in Sindh Province. Basic health units and rural health centres suffered the most damage. According to the Civil Society Floods Situation Report 2011, 6 BHUs were damaged in district Tando Allahyar which is 43% of the total BHUs in the district.

Most people in the district are poor and a large number of people are unemployed. In most households there is just one earning person with so many dependents.

3.1.3 Capacity Capacities are resources, means and strengths, which exist in households and communities and which enable them to cope with, withstand, prepare for, prevent, mitigate or quickly recover from a disaster. The combination of all the strengths attributes and resources available within a

47 Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) 2012-13


community, society or organization that can be used to achieve agreed goals constitute its capacity to cope with hazards48.

Physical/Material Capacity In most disasters, people suffer their greatest losses in the physical and material realm. Access to physical/material things or objects count as physical capacity. A few examples of physical and material resources are cash, food, land, properties and tools.

Social /Organizational Capacity When everything physical is destroyed, people still has their skills, experiences and knowledge; they have family and social networks. They have leaders and systems for making decisions. They also have local, collective ‘wisdom’ reflected in their cultural practices that help them reduce or cope with disaster risks.

Attitudinal/Motivational Capacity People also have positive attitudes and strong motivations such as the will to survive and willingness to help each other.

Capacity Matrix

Physical/material Social/organizational Attitudinal/motivational Tando Allahyar is an agricultural district and is famous for its fertile land. It produces cash crops like sugarcane, wheat, onion and cotton. Besides, vegetables, fruits are also produced in the district. Mangoes are the most popular produce of this area. The total cultivated area of the district is 118,000 hectares in which the total crop area is 111,000 hectares49.

The overall literacy rate50 (for the population of 10 years and above) is 47%; for male it is 63 and for female it is 31%, while Adult literacy rate (15 years and above) is 46 %. For the urban rural comparison, urban literacy rate is higher than the rural. Literate people can easily be mobilized and made aware of the different disaster risks.

Awareness sessions are held on hygiene in the affected communities in order to prevent people from water borne diseases.

The total number of government health facilities51 in district Tando Allahyar is 35. There is only one hospital, two Rural health centres (RHCs), thirteen Basic Health Units (BHUs), seventeen General Dispensaries (GD) and two MCHs. These health facilities provide health services both in rural and urban areas of the district, not only as a routine but also in

The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) of Tando Allahyar is established in the DCO’s office on a temporary basis. The DDMA formulates disaster plan for the district and assigns roles and responsibilities to the local district departments. The DDMA coordinates with the District Coordination Office (DCO) in time of emergency and provide updates

Some people in the affected communities were found very cooperative and friendly. They encouraged and welcomed the humanitarian organizations with open heart and also cooperated in the damage need assessment after 2011 heavy rains disaster.

The total number of schools in the district is 827. Out of which 750 are primary schools, 1is an elementary school, 41 are middle schools, 30 are secondary, and 5 are higher secondary schools52. These school buildings are also used as shelter and evacuation centres in time of an emergency.

The Government of Sindh, with the assistance of the Asian Development Bank, has established Sindh Devolved Social Services Program (SDSSP)53. The goal of SDSSP in health sector is to improve people’s health. The activities included under this program are improvement in maternal and child health care, improvement in immunization and availability of qualified medics and paramedics in the health institutions.

Female volunteers in the relief camps (established in 2011) provided good services and facilitated females. They showed good management skills and proved useful to their people.

The District consists of flat and fertile lands. It has an efficient canal system, which ensures agriculture productivity. Naseer Canal runs through the district and irrigates almost whole of the district with the help of several branch canals and water courses. Branch canals of Khesana Canal irrigate the western part of the district54. The total irrigated area of the district is 72,746 hectares in which the canal irrigated area is 48,117 hectares55.

Non-governmental organizations i.e., both local and international conduct relief activities during response and post disasters to help the affected people, to make them able to stand on their own. These organizations include Sindh Rural Support Program (SRSP), AHD, Research and Development Foundation (RDF), International Organization for Migration (IOM) and World Food Program (WFP) etc.

Forests help in protection of soil, improve environment by controlling pollution and cause rainfall. Total forest area of the Sindh Province is 831,173.95 hectares (2008-09) out of which district Tando Allahyar shares an area of 135.30 hectares56. The increased protection of forests could lead to a decrease in the severity of floods.

Community based organizations are formed by the NGOs working in the affected areas to encourage the local representation. Active people from the community are part of these organizations, which facilitate the humanitarian organization work at the grass root level.

The district is well-connected with other districts through high quality roads. The district headquarters at Tando Allahyar is

4 Sectoral DRR Mitigation Measures 4.1.1 Education

The NGOs (Basic Education and Employable Skill Trainings) should work on awareness building programs for encouraging enrolment in schools of Tando Allahyar, by incorporating teachers, students and youth in their community based programs. Increased enrolment would lead to enhanced literacy and literate people can easily be mobilized and made aware of the different disaster risks.

NGOs (Basic Education and Employable Skill Trainings, Aga Khan Foundation Pakistan, Association for Better Community Development, Social Welfare Department etc) working in the education sector should organize community-based programs that provide girls with opportunities to develop their skills in district Tando Allahyar.

Damaged schools should be repaired and reconstructed on priority basis with DRR principles in view.

Government should introduce disaster risk reduction courses for teachers’ training and should add DRR in the curriculum to support large-scale awareness.

Local Philanthropists should be encouraged to take initiative to raise an emergency fund for immediate repair of infrastructure, support to affected poor students and parents after any disaster.

Government should introduce a ‘School Safety policy’ taking all locally relevant hazards into account and adopting DRR measure for the existing schools and construction of new schools.

NGOs and other organizations working in the education sector should organize workshops to provide teachers with training on disaster preparedness and early warning signs.

Education department of district Tando Allahyar should produce support materials linked with disaster risk reduction for teaching and learning.

The Government and NGOs (Sustainable Development Initiatives, Society for Sustainable Development) should invest in DRR sector and should incorporate DRR measures in improving school buildings as these can be used as shelter and evacuation centres in case of emergency.

Incorporate disaster risk reduction measures i.e., ensure their suitable location and construction while establishing new schools in order to avoid future hazard threats.

NGOs should initiate the Disaster Education Programmes for the local communities, to increase their knowledge of prevailing natural hazards, and especially to increase their capacity to understand extreme events and preventive measures to be taken before, during and after disaster.

SECTORAL DRR MITIGATION MEASURES36

4.1.2 Infrastructure Awareness programs should be organized by the District Disaster Management

Authority about the need of land use planning and building codes so that it can be followed by all the stakeholders, to avoid future threats.

The Communication and Works department of Tando Allahyar should utilize the available funds on the maintenance of roads and find alternative routes that can be used in case of emergency.

The Communication and works department of Tando Allahyar should incorporate disaster risk impact assessments as part of their planning process before the construction of new roads or bridges.

Active people from the community can be used for disseminating early warning for the local endangered communities because people have lot of trust in informal and locally influential sources of information; e.g. a religious leaders, a teachers, an NGO worker or a local government official. But firstly these active people should also be trained on Early Warning System.

Irrigation department of Tando Allahyar should carry out hydraulic studies so that flooding can be avoided and find out catchment areas and water courses for surface run off.

DRR Planners, District and Provincial authorities should identify safe land and location for low income citizens who are living near the flood prone areas.

Brick lining projects should be initiated by the government for strengthening the canals. Radio can be a very important part of early warning system but care should be taken

while transmitting early warnings. It should be in clear words and confirmed through reliable sources to avoid false reports and unnecessary panic.

Media in district Tando Allahyar should expand its role as a watchdog in monitoring and handling of donations in the post disaster phase so that the funds are given to the affected people of the district rather than self interest groups.

Water Conservation projects should be initiated by the government for mitigating the future threats about freshwater shortages and increased demand.

4.1.3 Health NGOs (Aga Khan Health Service, Health and Nutrition Development Society, Association

for Better Community Development etc) should encourage the community participation in the awareness sessions, programs and trainings, related to water treatment practices and hygiene practices which will capacitate the vulnerable communities of the area against the communicable diseases.

Health department should take care of establishment of health facilities focused on certain population. All the health related issues should be dealt by them. But the responsibilities have to be identified.

Health facilities should be located on higher grounds along or near good roads and adequate means of transportation readily accessible to the community.


A logistic system should be put in place for determining the requirement of medicine, maintaining an inventory, storing and stocking, issuing and controlling the use of medicine, stockpile of emergency medicine and supplies, special arrangement with vendors and suppliers for emergency purchases in time of disaster.

DDMA of district Tando Allahyar should assign the responsibilities of health department to ensure the availability of medical and paramedical personal in hospital, BHU’s, MCHC, and RHC’s. Moreover, mobile health teams should be mobilized so that the health facilitators can visit the local areas to provide basic health care especially for the vulnerable group such as people with disabilities, elderly persons, children, females and those who hesitate to go to the hospitals because of cultural constraint and long distance.

Nutrition Stabilization centres for the pregnant and lactating women suffering from acute malnutrition should be established in each small and big hospital.

4.1.4 Livelihood Fodder stocks should be maintained by the livestock department of the district Tando

Allahyar to cope with emergencies. Livestock owners should be encouraged to insure their cattle heads. Capacity can be built through awareness programs on livelihood diversification. NGO’s (Social Welfare Department, Association for Better Community Development etc)

should organize the awareness sessions by incorporating active youth for mobilization of vulnerable communities and should promote some business through awareness building livelihood projects.

Government and NGOs should promote effective insurance and credit schemes to compensate for crop damage and losses to livelihoods due to natural hazards in the district

Provincial Government and NGOs should ensure sustainable livelihoods in areas of recurrent climate risks (i.e. flood prone areas) in district Tando Allahyar by promoting supplementary income generation from off-farm and non-farm activities.

4.1.5 Agriculture District Government should promote effective programs of contingency crop planning to

deal with year to year climate variations. NGO’s should organize advocacy seminars, trainings and awareness sessions for

improved agricultural practices by incorporating CBOs’ chairmen and presidents of as they have great influence over the community members.

NGOs should promote effective programs of crop diversification including the use of hazard resistant crops, to deal with shifts in climate patterns.

4.1.6 Food Stockpiling of essential food items should be encouraged among the community

through awareness programs.

SECTORAL DRR MITIGATION MEASURES38

Number of Food distribution point should be established in the emergency hit area and should be easily accessible to most of the needy population.

For extremely vulnerable groups such as elderly persons, people with disabilities, female and children, separate desk and queues at food distribution point should be established so that they do not suffer difficulties in attaining food

Civil administration should look after the availability of food.

4.1.7 Wash Innovative approaches are required to ensure the availability of low-cost, simple, and

locally acceptable water and sanitation interventions. Integrating these approaches into existing social institutions such as schools, markets, and health facilities is required.

Municipal workers should monitor the quality of water and should distribute chlorine tablets for water purification in order to avoid diseases like cholera, malaria and hepatitis etc.

DRR measures should be incorporated in the construction of sewerage system in order to minimize the possibility of over flowing of sewage water in rainy days and to mitigate the hygiene issues.

DDMA of district Tando Allahyar should ensure long term viability of sanitation facilities by arranging funds.

Government should keep in view the need of children, women and disable people while planning, designing, implementing, and monitoring and management of sanitation service provision.

NGOs in district Tando Allahyar should install raised hand pumps to maintain adequate access to water supplies in the event of a flood.

Waste Water treatment projects should be initiated in district Tando Allahyar to avoid deterioration of aquatic environment.

Access to water should be improved by installing additional water points.

4.1.8 Government and Humanitarian Sector Coordination among key stakeholders should be strengthened for the implementation

of disaster risk reduction measures and effective emergency response through assignment of responsibility to each stakeholder. Stakeholders must have joint meetings to address the issues faced by them.

The District Disaster Management Authority should launch appeals for assistance through media at the provincial and national level.

NGOs should follow the bottom up approach for the initiation of any CBDRM project. The bottom-up approach implies that whole process should start at the community level. Community members should invite to participate in every step of the planning process. It will give a sense of ownership to the community who in turn constructively contribute to achieve project objectives. Moreover Tribal heads can facilitate the Government and NGOs in implementation of DRM projects.
