Appeal - India
Orissa Floods - Post Crisis - ASIN13
Appeal Target: US$ 654,526
Geneva, 13 November 2001
Following the Super cyclone in 1999, the severe drought in 2000 and the
devastating flood and rains in the period June to September 2001, the
people of Orissa are still fighting to overcome their losses and restore
their livelihood.
Through its members on the ground, ACT International has launched an
emergency operation under Appeal ASIN12, which is about to be completed by
all the three implementing partners: Churches Auxiliary for Social Action
(CASA), the Lutheran World Service - India (LWS-I) and the United
Evangelical Church in India (UELCI). The ACT partners convened a meeting
to discuss a joint strategy regarding the implementation of possible post
crisis activities. UELCI undertook a baseline study, which resulted in
this post crisis phase appeal. LWS-I is working on a proposal for an
extension/revision which will be dealt with separately. CASA has decided
not to enter into a post-crisis phase as they are already implementing a
long-term rehabilitation programme after the last super cyclone.
UELCI is proposing to continue its support, through its local implementing
partners, to assist the affected people in restoring their livelihood and
to regain some level of food security. The proposal includes the following
components:
- Food for Work
- Material support to restore shelters
- Livelihood support for fishing and weaving communities
- Distribution of seeds for kitchen gardens
- Health & Sanitation
- Disaster preparedness
Project Completion Date: 31 August 2002

DESCRIPTION OF EMERGENCY SITUATION
Background: Following the super cyclone in 1999 and the severe drought in
2000, the third misfortune for the Orissan people is the flood in July
2001 that played havoc with the peoples lives and their livelihood
resources and affected more than five million people in the State.
Crisis Phase Situation: An unusually heavy monsoon rain season started in
June and lasted until September. 46 people lost their lives and more than
7,000 villages were marooned by the floodwaters, forcing people to leave
their villages and take refuge on roads, embankments and in cyclone
shelters. The details of damages are given below :

Damage Assessment and Post Crisis Planning
Methodology
After the ACT Partners meeting held in August, a baseline damage
assessment and planning exercise was carried out in the crisis phase
response villages during weeks 2 and 3 of August 2001 in order to
formulate strategy and action plans for the post crisis phase. Villages
were selected on the basis of degree of damage to livelihood and
vulnerability. In this process, besides the villages where crisis response
was implemented through ACT support, some more villages were added.
Relevant information covering demography, occupation, damage to crops,
livelihood, common assets, health and sanitation, availability of food,
status of support received from various sources were collected. This also
included the affected peoples perception of the crisis and strategy to
restore livelihood, shelter; handle other damages and adverse impacts.
Description of the Post Crisis Situation
The situation as assessed is altogether different from the situation
during the crisis phase. Except for some water logging in a few low lying
pockets, floodwater has receded leaving behind a trail of damages -
damaged crop fields, houses, destroyed livelihood, poor sanitation and
hygiene, poor wage opportunities, food shortage, etc.
The agricultural production in a considerable percentage of areas affected
by recent floods was also severely affected by the devastating
super-cyclone less than 2 years ago and by the general drought condition
last year (2000).
The recent flood thus aggravated the already stretched livelihood options.
51% of paddy (the staple food crop) was damaged; fishermen and other
marginal occupational groups lost their equipment and, due to incessant
rain followed by lingering flood waters, wage earners have been going
without adequate wages for more than 2 months.
Extent of Damage
Crop
Paddy, the main food grain crop suffered heavy damage. This included early
varieties which were about to be harvested in September and would have
supplemented the already exhausted stock of the marginalized farmers.
Varieties of vegetables that were generating steady amounts of cash to a
large extent have been damaged (brinjal, long beans, kankad, potala etc.)
and other major sources of cash for the marginal farm families, such as
sugarcane, ground nut, niger, etc. suffered almost 100% damage. Food crops
such as maize, which used to supplement food requirements for marginalized
families in the hilly-forested areas during the lean period were also
badly damaged.

Marginalized farm families who constitute more than 60% of the population
have lost their main staple food crop, as well as the cash crops which
would have helped them buy food items to meet the shortage. Furthermore,
they will have to wait more than 12 months for the next crops. Many of
these people had not properly recovered from the results of the cyclone
and drought, which preceded the floods.
Sand casting and other problems to Agricultural Land
Sand and stone casting, gully formation in the agricultural land near to
river sand drainage channels double the plight of marginalized farm
families. Normally, these lands near to water bodies are fertile and used
for cash-crop-growing during the winter. This is now not possible unless
crop lands are restored to their pre flood situation. This has to be done
manually and the more vulnerable families will find it difficult to afford
'unpaid' time for this work.
Percentage of total Agricultural Land
Sand casting - 1 acre or less 2,170 Families (39%)
- 1 - 2 acres 628 Families (11%)
- 2 - 4 acres 169 Families (3%)
Gully formation/stone casting - 1,362 Families (24%).
Shelter
Because of continuous rain the lower part of the mud walls were already
affected and when the floodwater came these houses collapsed. Houses at
the foot hills were affected by the gushing drainage water from the hills.
About 39% houses (3,200 families) suffered some damage, of them 11% (352)
were fully washed away, 35% (1135) fully collapsed and 52% (1652 + 61 roof
and other damage) partially collapsed. Most of the families whose houses
have been damaged belong to the land-less and marginalized farm families.
Because of a shortage of roofing material (straw and wild grass from
forests) due to recurring droughts, the families in many villages changed
to comparatively inferior roofing material - sugarcane leaves - which were
of no use dealing with continuous rain. Most of the families do not have
the capacity to reconstruct their homes on their own and without shelter
they will remain vulnerable to health problems.
Occupational groups
In the proposed areas of response, fishermen and weaver communities
(constituting 76% of the practising occupational families) suffered
considerable damage. 12% of the fishermen (140) in the proposed response
areas lost their fishing boats, 52% (620) lost their nets. All the weavers
(50) suffered damage to their work places as well as equipment and raw
materials.
Wage Earners
In the proposed response villages about 32% of the families depend on wage
earning for livelihood (in some regions about 45%). As agricultural
activities have been largely affected wage-earning opportunities are thin
on the ground. This will have far reaching adverse implications for these
families (indebtedness, distress migration, distress sale of assets,
etc.). Major primary sources of livelihood:
% of families
Wage earning 32%
Own cultivation 35%
Share cropping 08%
Small scale fishing 10%
Service 04%
Cattle/goat rearing/
petty business/
weaving &others 11%
Food shortage: Problems to secure food for survival at present and in
coming months are looming large in the post flood situation. Even in
"normal" years the majority of the families experience food shortage for a
substantial part of the year (91%). Due to population density the average
land holding is comparatively small (more so in forested/hilly river
basins). A standard family of 5 requires 3 kg. of rice (30 Rs.) + 10 Rs.
for other items. Families used to a meet the deficit primarily through
wage earning and growing cash crops.
Usual period of food shortage Percentage of families
2 months or less 12%
2-4 months 19%
4-6 months 23%
6 months above 38%
Due to the incessant rain from the first week of June and the flooding,
most of the vulnerable families have already lost about 2 months of
wage-earning opportunities. It has also not been possible to grow rainy
season vegetables at homesteads for own consumption and small income
generation. As the agriculture sector is devastated, there will be little
wage earning opportunities in coming months (agriculture sector meets the
bulk of the wage needs).
At present, relief and other support had to be suspended due to lack of
resources and many agencies have left after the crisis phase. The affected
families, if not assisted, will try to cope with the food shortage by
mortgaging assets, taking out food grain loans which they have to pay back
at 1.5 during next harvest or go into distress sale of properties. Some
will migrate. The impact will be further intensified if alternative wage
earning and crop growing is not facilitated as a matter of urgency.
Problems in Restoration of Crop Growing
Continuous rains and the flood situation have affected availability of
home grown seeds for winter crops. For example, ground nuts are usually
cultivated in the rainy season (sown in May/June and harvested in
October/November) to generate seeds for the winter/summer cultivation (1
acre provides seeds for 10 acres). Many farmers will not have the capacity
to make small investments for seeds or to meet other incidental expenses
for winter crop growing. Transplanting of paddy in the affected lands will
not be possible in about 60% cases as seedlings are not available and it
is too late for some categories of land.
Another hurdle for winter crop growing is cleaning of sand and other
debris and repairing gully erosion. However, there is potential for sowing
pulses (which can provide food/ cash in about 4 months) in paddy lands not
affected by sand casting and gully erosion by September/October. Winter
cash crops can be taken up by October/November on the lands along the
water bodies if the affected lands could be restored. As the situation
appears, most of the affected families would focus on arranging food for
survival rather than restoring the crop lands unless supported in time.
Health, Sanitation & Hygiene
Lingering flood water and continuous rain from the first week of June till
the second week of September have contributed to the present deplorable
sanitation and hygiene conditions - broken drainage systems, damp and
leaking floors, muddy streets, stagnant water-logged areas, damaged and
washed away roads all adding to the general depressing mood.
In absence of proper drainage of stagnant flood water, in many villages
there are still standing pools of floodwater that have turned into
mosquito breeding centres. In villages (at foot hills/ lower reaches)
water trickles through the floor from under ground seepage. The earthen
floors of small living houses remain damp and people face difficulty
finding a dry and secure place to dwell. Furthermore, due to inadequate
food intake over a long period the vulnerability to succumb to fever and
other ailments is also increasing.
The additional Government medical teams have been withdrawn and even in
normal times it is difficult to get even basic health care as these
villages are located in remote areas and are often difficult to access.
Health problems are only further exacerbating a difficult situation, with
loss of wages, delayed restoration of dwellings, lack of food etc. Many
are forced to take out loans to meet their medical bills, those who do not
have that possibility go without.
Credit
The previous year's agricultural production was very poor due to drought.
Because of the early monsoon this year, farmers were expecting a good
yield. However, the excessive rain and floods destroyed everything and
spoiled their hope to recover the loss. Without crops or the possibility
of a harvest, it is very difficult for marginalized farm families or the
landless to have access to credit.
Responses and Future Projection
The affected villages received relief and rescue support in the form of
food (rice, puffed rice), polythene, clothes, medicine, sanitation from
voluntary organizations, government agencies and NGOs in widely varying
amounts up to the last week of July. Then it has been mostly the ACT
Partner NGOs who continue to provide support and fill the gaps
(identifying and helping needy families, attending to hygiene and
sanitation, etc.) through ACT support. Some families have received
Rs.1,000 against house damage from the Government. A very small percentage
of families had crop insurance. By the time of the baseline study no
assessment was done by the Government. Except for a few breaches on the
main roads most of the breaches still have to be plugged.
Immediately following the crisis, due to the sustained accompaniment of
ACT Partner NGOs, the affected families were quickly on their feet picking
up the threads of life and helping to generate collective drive. Timely
intervention prevented further deterioration in the health and hygiene
situation. In a number of villages initiatives were taken to obtain
Government support with relative success. However, further assistance is
required to ensure that the people are not forced to distress sale of
their meagre possessions and even migration.
Locations of the Proposed Response
96 villages are targeted for the post crisis response. These villages
have been selected on the basis of their vulnerability in the coming
months in relation to food shortages, crop damage, presence of Dalit/
Tribal and other socio-economically weaker sections, presence of landless,
marginal farm families.

Criteria used for Beneficiary Selection
Beneficiaries are identified on the basis of the findings of the baseline assessment. The socio-economically weaker section, families who need immediate assistance are given preference within three broad areas of priority: food security, shelter, crop growing. Community Peoples Forums and Panchayat Representatives were involved in the beneficiary selection process.
PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
Food for Work: About 5,000 mostly landless and marginalized farm families
will benefit. Each family would get 3 kg. of rice, 0.5kg. of dhal and
Rs.10 in cash against one day 's work for restoration of their own shelter
or crop land/ crop growing and restoring community facilities. Total about
240,000 human days will be utilized as following: restoration of shelter
(41,510); clearing of sand from agricultural land to facilitate immediate
crop growing (23,590); clearing of stone, gully plugging, plugging of
ridges in agricultural land (43,240); common interest flood damage repair/
restoration (131,660).
Secured Shelter: Over and above the wage assistance under food for work
the families whose houses have been fully washed away or collapsed will be
provided with bamboo (average 40 pieces) rope and nail including selected
partially collapsed houses, the families experiencing damp/leaking floors
(in specific villages) will be provided with cement, chips and sand for
concrete floor of the living houses. Total 1800 families will be assisted.
Livelihood Support
Fishing Boats and Nets: In order to help the affected Fishermen to become
immediately operational boats & nets will be provided - one boat for four
persons (140 families); one net for two persons (620 families).
Repair and Raw material support for Small Scale Weavers: 50 small scale
weavers, whose looms and raw materials were damaged, will be provided
support to repair looms and to buy a minimum of raw materials (threads) to
become operational immediately.
Strategic Crop Growing: Marginalized farm families who suffered 50 to100
per cent damage to their staple food and cash crops will be provided with
seeds of crops they are familiar with and which would generate assured
income (also used as food) of at least 5000/- to 10,000 Rupees by
December/January. Black gram with mustard for inter cropping (1 acre) will
be provided to 4,200 families, 1000 marginalized farm families who lost
sugar cane and other cash crops will be given ground nut/vegetable seeds
(0.5 ac.). Traditional oil seeds (Niger 1 ac. each) will be provided to
200 Tribal families in hilly/forested areas.
6000 landless, marginalized and small farm families will be given seeds of
quick growing, leafy, nutritious vegetables for kitchen garden to
supplement the food received through 'food for work'.
Health Care Assistance & Sanitation: Relevant repair and restoration of
drinking water points, drainage, clearing of stagnant water, etc. will be
undertaken through 'food for work'. Relevant disinfecting of identified
points will be undertaken regularly. To prevent/minimize illness and
health related expenses especially relating to malaria/dysentery all the
villages will be covered at least twice a month through health camps up to
3 months.
Disaster Preparedness Orientation/Advocacy: Orientation relating to
compensation, insurance, other facilities and rights concerning disasters
as well as disaster preparedness at family and community level will be
imparted through group discussions and orientation to key persons in the
community. Relevant consultations on common issues (crop/assets insurance,
protection embankments), etc. will be organized.
Future Focus: In a number of villages the implementing partners will
continue their work as they are already based in these areas and the post
crisis response will be an integral part of the ongoing activities. In
other areas the existing people forums are to be facilitated to revolve
the support, preparedness (seeds bank, SHG, etc.). The affected people are
to be given orientation and linked to existing grass root democratic
institution under Panchayat Raj to access assistance provided by relevant
government agencies.
ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING
Administration: IRDWSI, will take general responsibility for
administration, finance monitoring, and reporting involving the local
implementing partners. For project administration, the local partner will
be responsible. Two Co-ordinators, four Field Co-ordinators, twenty Field
Supervisors and ninety six Village Level Volunteers will be deployed for
varying periods in the year long implementation, monitoring and
supervision of the planned activities. Over and above, the partner
organization will use the human and other resources for relevant
motivation, orientation of community level peoples forums.
Monitoring: In every post crisis response villages, the partner NGO will
continue to work through the already formed committees at the village and
beneficiary level with representatives of PRI members. Women and Youth
Groups will continue to be involved in the implementation and monitoring
of the activities. Seed banks, self help groups and other revolving
support mechanisms will be facilitated to sustain the impact at the
community level. These people's forums would make arrangements with the
beneficiaries regarding repayment against the support provided to meet any
future emergencies.
IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE
The post crisis phase will continue from September 2001 and be completed
by August 2002 depending on the resources availability. It should be
noted that winter crop growing is crucial for the vulnerable families to
recover, hence the funding and planting is extremely time sensitive
-September and October months being critical.
CO-ORDINATION
With reference to UELCI involvement in the last cyclone relief operation
in Orissa and Gujarat Earth quake relief operation, and the ongoing Orissa
Floods Crisis phase contacts has been established among NGO networks, ACT
partners and the Government. However, for co-ordinating the Post Crisis
Programme periodic field visits, consultant's accompaniment and meetings
will keep the co-ordination tempo intact and help the member NGOs to
implement the programmes as per the plan both in terms of cash flow and
action plans.
Attempts will be made to continue regular co-ordination meetings among all
ACT partners to review the activities carried out, problems encountered
and share human resources.
