This District Level Sitrep is compiled by UN OCHA with sector specific 
contributions from cluster leads to the extent possible. Registration and 
Affected Population:

As per DAO's district government registration report there is a 
registration of 7,597 HH representing 43,917 individuals. Of this, 6756 
are Indian Nationals. This figure is counted from the 29th recognized 
camps and one registration center at district head quarter (of missed 
people). No any new registration is done after 21st September. Some new 
applications have been received to DAO office from missing households to 
get their registration. Till date, 10 applications have been formally 
received.

Last week, CDO circulated a notice to return the cards whoever has 
received double cards otherwise they will be punished as per rule. In 
response of that notice, upto now, 50 people have returned their cards 
(with ration cards) that have double.

* notes from October 1st coordination meeting

DDRC/CDO has made following strategic planning for registration and 
verifications:

- A team for maintaining the database by VDC, community, tole wise of the 
flood victims. The team members are: from NRCS, VDC secretary, police; 
local political person (ex chairman of VDC) in data base management team 
and 3 computer experts will work on this. It is planned that the final 
version of VDC, Ward, community, family base flood victim's database 
before Dashain;

- Yellow cards distributed to the victims who are shifted to new allocated 
camps and outsiders have green cards;

- During the database preparation and verification, its cross checking 
will be done on the basis voter list, citizenship, or any other legal 
documents;

- After Dashain festival, DDRC will announce a general notice for all (who 
ever living outside as well as in host families) to put their name in 
allocated place around their VDC. A team will be mobilized by VDC or 
cluster wise to register the outsiders / host families flood victims. 
Their registration will be done by head count methods;

- After that old cards (whoever have) will be taken and new cards will be 
issued;

- Once the complete database of the whole area completed, the record of 
Sunsari side will be sent to Saptari side and similarly the Saptari side 
record will be brought to Sunsari side for tally, cross checking to avoid/ 
delete the duplication.

- Tentative time for whole work is one month. It is guessed that all these 
works will be completed before next food distribution. And food will be 
distributed from allocated distribution points for newly registered or 
people who lives outside the camps and new camps.
