SITUATION OVERVIEW
Heavy monsoon rain and water from upstream sources caused slow-onset severe flooding in low lying areas
of Northern Bangladesh. The 2020 floods has some remarkable characteristics in comparison with major
floods in the recent past. It started earlier than usual (late June), it lasted more 60 days in some areas and,
in Bahadurabad of Jamalpur, the Jamuna flowed at 20.79 m, 17cm above the last water level record set in
1988 according to Floods Forecasting Warning Centre (FFWC).

According to the National Disaster Response Coordination Center (NDRCC), one (1) million households were
waterlogged. The disruption of services hindered meeting basic needs and, people suffered from hunger,
illness, thirst and filthiness. The NDRCC report informs that 5.5 million (highest at 4 August) people were
directly affected and, that 1,059,295 households were inundated. Among them, 211,859 families were
displaced, and 94,414 people were evacuated in 1,525 shelters. The Department of Public Health and
Engineering (DPHE) informs that 928,60 tube-wells and 100,223 latrines were damaged. The Ministry of
Agriculture (MoA) informed that around 83,000 hectares of paddy fields were affected. According to the
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), 257 people lost their lives due to the floods.

The anticipatory impact analysis activated the Humanitarian Coordination Task Team (HCTT)’s Humanitarian
Preparedness and Response Plan (HPRP) in line with the contingency plan for climate-related disasters in
time of COVID-19 pandemic. Following the HCTT meeting organized on 14 July 2020, the Needs Assessment
Working Group (NAWG) led by the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) and CARE coordinated an
impact assessment in collaboration with national authorities and partners. Using a contextualized INFORM
Risk Index and Sphere guidance, Districts and Key Immediate Needs (KIN) and related sectors were
prioritized: Protection (Child Protection, Gender-based Violence, Sexual and Reproductive Health and
Education); Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion; Food Security and Nutrition, and Shelter.

On 4 August 2020, the HCTT co-led by the MoDMR and the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office endorsed the
HCTT response plan. The coordinated response follows a two-track approach: life-saving and early recovery
interventions.

Cash Transfer Programming (CTP)

No specific progress to report.

Promote Localization Agenda

The WASH Cluster initiated the District WASH Cluster Coordination Mechanism through local DPHE offices and local
NGOs who are working at district and upazila levels to strengthen local coordination. In addition, the WASH cluster
will be conducting a mapping of local organizations who are working in the WASH sectors. Training and orientation
of national and local level responders are integral part of the work. For example, in the response, international and
national organizations work jointly for maximizing the transfer of skills and capacities. Where possible, use of
market-based approaches such as sanitation marketing and engaging latrine producers in promoting safe WASH
behaviours. This involves training to strengthen capacity in the longer run.
