Emergency Rapid Assessment Report for Oxfam India- RedR
The floods have affected huge number of population in the 32 villages out of which 6 villages are the worst hit. The floods so far have claimed 247 of lives and more than one thousand houses washed away. The agricultural crop damage is phenomenal (estimated to be in billions of Rupees in economic terms) and people have lost their livelihoods. A team comprising 2 RedR members conducted an emergency rapid assessment of the flood situation in Leh district.
The objective of this assessment is to enable Oxfam India to chalk out a response strategy and an action plan for meeting the prioritized and unmet needs of the affected families. It was found that the immediate relief which needs to be carried out on war footing include tankering of treated water, install water storage tanks, efficient distribution, water quality monitoring, erection of washing cubicles, temporary latrines, temporary bathing cubicles, health and hygiene promotion through visual media and campaigns. Housing will be a major as well as an urgent need as the winter is fast approaching.
