5 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Within the span of just over one week at the end of August and beginning of September, Hurricanes Fay and Gustav and tropical storm Hanna swept across Haiti, causing widespread destruction and despair throughout the country. While needs assessments are far from complete, it is estimated that up to 800,000 people are in dire need of humanitarian and rehabilitation assistance. The total number of Haitians directly and indirectly affected by the extreme weather conditions is much higher. Initial projections show that the economic impact of the current disasters will be even worse than after Hurricane Jeanne which hit Haiti in A large majority of the population was already facing extreme hardship, with 53% living with less than one US dollar per day and food prices for staple foods that had already increased over 40% since the beginning of the year. During the night of 3 September, the town of Gonaives and its region was severely hit and 300,000 people out of a total population of 350,000 were directly affected by flooding. As of 6 September, over 100,000 people had taken refuge in temporary shelters in various parts of Haiti. A first estimate indicates that tens of thousands of houses have been damaged or destroyed. Many main roads and bridges across the country are destroyed or blocked, compounding an already difficult logistics operation. In several regions, the agricultural sector has been left in ruin, and hundreds of thousands are in need of food aid, water, non-food items and health services in the short and medium term. Current rains from the periphery of Hurricane Ike are likely to worsen a desperate situation. So far, emergency relief such as shelter, food, water, non-food items, and medical care is being provided in all accessible areas that have been affected by the storms. Special support will be required for the most vulnerable families to be able to repair their houses. Heavy investment will also be necessary for rehabilitating roads and public buildings, and to re-launch agricultural activities. While humanitarian assistance in the form of relief supplies and services is an immediate priority, of equal importance will be the need to inject cash in the economy, notably by giving immediate cash-forwork jobs to Haitians whose livelihoods have been destroyed by these disasters. Activities using a labour-intensive approach should be given priority, in particular activities aimed at jumpstarting agricultural production and addressing the catastrophic environmental condition of the country. The international community is working closely with, and under the leadership of, the Haitian Government which has made an official request to the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for international assistance. This Flash Appeal seeks USD$ 1 107,714,621 for actions over a planning horizon of six months. The activities described in the document reflect the coherent response of UN agencies and NGOs in coordination with the Haitian Government and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to provide immediate and early recovery assistance. The Appeal will be updated and revised within a month to reflect new needs as the situation evolves and as better assessments become possible. The international donor community is hereby asked to provide a quick and generous response in order to enable this effort to succeed.

7 2. CONTEXT AND HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES 2.1 CONTEXT Within a period of one week, Haiti, already struggling with the impact of heavy rains during Hurricane Fay in mid-august, was struck by Hurricane Gustav and Tropical Storm Hanna. Whilst Gustav, which hit Haiti on 26 August, mainly devastated the five regions in the west and south-west, Hanna, which made an unexpected landfall on 2 September, has impacted all ten regions in Haiti. Even though the centre of a fourth hurricane, Ike, did not directly touch Haiti, it had a significant impact on many regions of the country. Heavy rains were reported in the north, and the airport in the capital Port-au- Prince was closed most of 7 September, impeding the transportation of humanitarian assistance. According to Government figures, as of 8 September, Hurricanes Fay and Gustav and Tropical Storm Hanna have killed 326 people and injured 186, with 50 people still missing. 170,015 families have been affected, particularly through loss or damage to their housing and livelihoods. Based upon official Government statements on the scale of the disaster, and taking into account pre-disaster baseline data, contingency planning, and the impact of Hurricane Jeanne in 2004, an estimated 800,000 people have been affected throughout the country by the combined impact of the storms. This number may well rise as access and assessments improve in the coming days and weeks. 151,072 people are currently estimated to be housed in temporary shelters throughout the country, including a significant proportion of female-headed households which remain vulnerable to exacerbated insecurity and deepened poverty. Thousands of houses have been destroyed or damaged. The extensive damage is apparent in all major sectors including housing, agriculture, infrastructure, health, and education. Emergency life-saving activities, such as the distribution of food, water and essential non-food items (NFI) throughout the country, are required immediately. Update on impact of Fay, Gustav, Ike and Hanna as of 9 September Department Dead Missing Injured Artibonite (Gonaives) Affected Families* Persons in Shelters Houses Destroyed Houses Damaged , ,000 3,300 7,500 Centre ,163 3, Grande Anse , ,704 Nippes , ,221 Nord ,500 1, ,633 Nord Est Nord Ouest ,400 4, ,377 Ouest ,500 7,853 1,869 4,500 Sud ,350 11,109 1,685 8,792 Sud Est ,500 2,344 2,270 6,575 TOTAL , ,072 10,842 35,125 Source: DPC *Note: family size in Haiti is approximately five persons. The current impact of these four hurricanes, in particular the impact of Gustav and Hanna, constitutes the fourth-greatest catastrophe to occur in Haiti since the beginning of the 20th century. Although the death toll appears to be much lower than that caused by Hurricane Jeanne in 2004, the overall damage throughout the country is estimated to be considerably greater. 3

9 Perhaps most critical in view of the already high level of food insecurity in Haiti, significant damage has been done to agriculture and the entire harvest of the current agricultural season has been either lost or severely damaged. Nearly all agricultural land has been flooded, resulting in the loss of the current corn, bean and banana harvest, particularly in the regions of the south and south-east. The next agricultural season, due to begin in October/November, will also be impacted. Due to the preexisting food shortages and imminent planting season, special attention should therefore be paid to the immediate re-start of the agricultural sector. For this reason, major time-critical agricultural funding needs based on best estimates are presented in this rapid first edition of the flash appeal to avoid delays in funding before the upcoming planting season. Haitian authorities have maintained a heightened state of alert (red alert) in the ten regions of the country. Heavy flooding was reported in the following cities: Gonaïves (Artibonite region), Port de Paix (north-west), Cap Haitien (north), Hinche (central), Miragoane (Nippes), Jacmel (south-east), Les Cayes (south), and Grand Goâve (west). Although water levels are decreasing in most areas that were flooded, the situation is particularly serious in Gonaives where large parts of the city have been submerged in up to three metres of water, and thousands of people have been stranded on rooftops. As of the finalisation of this appeal, many areas in the country remain inaccessible. Security remains a concern given the extreme frustration of the affected population, and the closest coordination with the UN Country Team (UNCT) is required so that necessary security arrangements with the United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) can be made. With this in mind, MINUSTAH in Gonaives has been reinforced to provide added security for humanitarian operations. The Government has made an official request to the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) for assistance from the UN and the international community and requested the UN to help coordinate the relief efforts. Those are greatly hampered by logistical constraints, as the three major national roads are blocked and continuing bad weather conditions are making air transport difficult. In Gonaives, in particular, the provision of assistance is further complicated by the movement of people to less affected surrounding areas, where generally poor facilities are in place to take care of their needs. 2.2 RESPONSE TO DATE Coordination mechanisms have been strengthened since the onset of the hurricane season, and emergency response sectors were activated immediately upon reception of the Government s warning regarding Hurricane Gustav. Limited emergency relief such as shelter, food, water, NFI and medical care is currently being provided in affected areas where access is possible. A UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team of six specialists (four telecommunications and two mapping experts) has been deployed to Haiti. The World Food Programme (WFP) team has been reinforced with six additional staff, and other agencies such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), World Health Organization/Pan American Health Organization (WHO/PAHO), International Organization for Migration (IOM), Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) have each deployed additional staff to their offices in Haiti. Assessment missions by the UN, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), OXFAM, and other organisations have already taken place. More in-depth missions will take place once accessibility has improved. IFRC has launched an appeal for $3.5 million, and has already allocated $272,727 from its Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF). The IFRC and Haitian Red Cross Society plan to distribute NFIs to 10,000 families or 50,000 people; to provide shelter for 3,000 families by repairing partially damaged rooftops or providing temporary shelter; to undertake actions (to be determined as assessments unfold) for emergency public health, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, early recovery, and logistics (see Annex I for further details). 5

10 KEY FACTS AND FIGURES OF RESPONSE TO DATE IN HAITI BY CLUSTER (AS OF 9 SEPTEMBER) Coordination Key elements of response to date Group Food Aid Some 42,263 beneficiaries have been reached and 282 MTs of food has been distributed. Distributed food commodities include high energy biscuits rice, beans, corn-soya blend, and vegetable oil. Food assistance has been distributed to people in temporary shelters in Port-au- Prince, Saint Michel de l'atalaye, Port-de-Paix, Jeremie, Les Cayes, Miragoane, Grand-Goave, Bainet and Jacmel. Other observations/findings Shortages of food commodities on local markets have been reported in some areas. Education The Ministry of Education (MoE) has put in place an emergency task force and is conducting assessments in all ten departments. Assessments conducted to date in the south-east, west and Nippes Departments by the MoE and Save the Children (SC) have found that at least 40,000 children in more than 100 schools are affected. Those numbers are likely to increase as ongoing assessments are completed in Gonaïves (Artibonite) and North-West Departments. Health (including Some areas (Gonaives, parts of the Southern and South Eastern Departments) have Nutrition) not been accessed since 26 August. PAHO/WHO is evaluating health needs through the deployment of local coordinators in three departments (including to Gonaïves) and is providing advice on management of dead bodies. An epidemiological surveillance system is also being implemented. UNICEF sent a shipment of nutritional supplies to Gonaives to support MSF-Belgium who is monitoring nutrition in the area and treating cases of acute malnutrition. Other observations/findings UNICEF cautioned that there was a need to identify more implementing partners and Logistics & Telecommunications Protection Shelter & NFIs WASH staff available in the nutrition sector. Logistics WFP is sending 30 MTs of high energy biscuits to Jeremie (Grand Anse Department) by helicopter and has food commodities ready to be sent by boat to Jeremie and Gonaives. The boat schedule is to be confirmed. Additional WFP staff reached Gonaives Telecommunications In Gonaives the landline network is not functional; however, the GSM network is functioning. Latest assessments of Hurricane Ike indicate that it does not seem to have adversely affected public communication networks around the country. UNICEF is coordinating with WFP assessment missions to include a UNICEF protection component in all of them. PLAN, SC, AVSI, CRS, World Concern, CRH have positioned themselves to run psycho-social support projects in the temporary shelters. UNICEF will share with all partners the list of orphanages approved by the government so as to carry out assessments on the situation of children. IOM staff members in Gonaives are evaluating the state of the infrastructure and immediate needs in temporary shelters. NFI stockpiles and distribution plans are prepared, with distributions of various kits (i.e. hygiene kits) ongoing. Other observations/findings Reports received from Les Cayes, Petit/Grand Goave, IOM Gonaives show a number of major temporary shelter infrastructure damaged or not presenting adequate or minimal shelter conditions. The shelter sector will be attempting to immediately improve shelter conditions there (protection from the elements, sanitary facilities). There is now an urgent need to replenish stocks; the volume of NFIs available will not meet the needs, given the size of the affected population. The shelter sector has also identified the need to provide affected communities with basic tool kits and possibly basic construction materials for the affected groups not housed in temporary shelters; this will allow people to be able to clear up the damage themselves and protect/reinforce/insulate their dwellings. Deliveries of 60,000 litres of water were made to Gonaives over the last week. MINUSTAH boats delivered additional water and sanitation items to Gonaives on 9 September. Two UNCEF staff members are currently in Gonaives to carry out needs assessments. 6

11 3. RESPONSE PLANS The hurricane season is ongoing, with more tropical storms and hurricanes expected in the coming months. This could further worsen the already extremely vulnerable situation of the country. Haitians have by and large lost the few coping mechanisms they had left after the external shocks, such as the food and fuel crises. This appeal aims to not only save lives and alleviate the suffering of Haitians as a result of the current storm, but also to lay the foundations for their recovery from this series of disasters. For this reason, the flash appeal contains an extensive range of early recovery projects. Although the appeal has been issued rapidly in line with current flash appeal policy and best practice, these early recovery projects have been well assessed within the Haitian context. They allow in particular for the injection of cash in the economy by having the population most heavily impacted work in activities that will: (i) stimulate whatever agricultural activities can be jumpstarted; (ii) clean the detritus and destruction from left behind by four hurricanes and tropical storms; and, (iii) pave the way for longer-term issues such as watershed management. The humanitarian response in Haiti is not, nor will ever be, of the kind that can be configured around large-scale camps, and the difficulty such a situation presents in how to reach vulnerable people with relief items is one that must be addressed. Other, complementary, ways to help people survive must be found. The activities listed under early-recovery are, then, fundamentally survival activities. Initial assessment data has been difficult to collect due to access limitations caused by the flooding and related damages, and the almost daily fluctuations in the situation and in available information. Priority needs and sectors have been identified through consultations between the cluster leads and members, including government, after reviewing available assessment data and response capacities. Wherever possible, early recovery projects aim to complement the activities and available resources of the government, activities by the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (ICRC), and by NGO partners. Projects selected for this appeal met the following criteria: 1. The project directly preserves life, health or safety; or 2. The project reduces aid dependence with a time-critical factor (i.e. within the six months of this appeal); or 3. The project provides essential common services that enable such actions. 3.1 AGRICULTURE Humanitarian consequences and needs analysis The rural population has been significantly impacted by the hurricanes. Approximately 50,000 families have lost access to habitual food supplies and reduced their ability to generate cash income. Standing maize, sorghum, bean, cassava and sweet potato crops, and banana plantations have been destroyed in at least 75 communes in the ten regions of the country. It is estimated that about 450 hectares of beans, 250 hectares of maize, 200 hectares of potato and sweet potato and more than 350 hectares of banana have been destroyed by the flood waters, erosion and landslides. These events have directly and indirectly affected the entire population. The abandonment of agricultural lands and forced displacement will worsen food insecurity in the months to come. It is essential that immediate interventions be planned and implemented to meet the needs of about 50,000 farming households that have lost access to their livelihoods to enable them to continue agricultural production. However, if the next disasters are as severe, these estimates will have to be revised upwards. Further events could increase the number of affected households up to 150,000 families. Objectives Following consultations with the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development (MANRRD), the objective is to restore the livelihoods of farmers impacted by the recent disasters. The aim is to both increase food security and to help restore families food production capacities in the affected zones. 7

12 Strategy The MANRRD and local authorities will assist in identifying beneficiaries in the affected regions, procuring and distributing inputs, cleaning out irrigation canals, replacing damaged or destroyed infrastructures and setting up teams to vaccinate animals. Humanitarian actions Humanitarian activities will be grouped around three major components: restoring farmers livelihoods; restoring the damaged irrigation system; animal vaccination. Activities will be implemented mainly in the major irrigation systems of the Artibonite, west, north-west and south-east regions, which have been flooded. Irrigation systems will be rehabilitated for the next agricultural seasons. The interventions will include cleaning-out irrigation canals, drains and important irrigation infrastructures (distribution reservoirs, U-bends, pipes, etc.), rehabilitating systems and infrastructure and protecting river banks. The direct beneficiaries of these actions will be farming households in the irrigated plains. Thousands of heads of cattle, goats, swine and poultry have been lost. As there is an excess of humidity in the flooded zones, animals will be more prone to infectious diseases, such as those caused by clostridial bacteria, Newcastle disease virus, classical swine fever, which are easily disseminated by unhygienic conditions. It is therefore essential to vaccinate approximately 1.2 million heads of cattle and goats against clostridial diseases (three to five doses), 1.8 million pigs against classical swine fever, and three million poultry against Newcastle disease.

13 3.2 COORDINATION Objectives The Emergency Relief Response Fund (ERRF) of the Relief, Recovery and Reconciliation mechanism is aimed at providing rapid and flexible funding to address immediate needs during the first phase of an emergency and before mainstream responses start. As mainstream responses are planned and start to be implemented, the fund will be used to strategically fill gaps (geographic and sectoral) within the overall response plan. Strategy Disburse funds to NGOs or UN agencies for up to $130,000 per project lasting up to six months, on the basis of assessed needs and consultations with UN Agencies, NGOs and other partners (through the Review Board). If the HC in collaboration with the permanent members of the Review Board find it necessary, contingency preparedness activities such as pre-positioning of non-food items could be taken into consideration for funding. Although ERRF-financed projects should be humanitarian in essence and focusing on (though not limited to) life-saving activities, the fund will seek to prevent further erosion of livelihood assets by supporting positive coping mechanisms of communities in times of acute emergencies. This will be done through enhanced support to community-driven initiatives that reduce and minimise risk. Expected outputs and impacts Reduced human suffering through quick and effective response to sudden emergencies or natural disasters by meeting short-term humanitarian needs, such as food, shelter, water and sanitation and health care services. Improved coordinated response to an emergency through strategic financing. Fill the funding gaps. COORDINATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES $ OCHA Emergency Relief Response Fund (Emergency Provide rapid and flexible funding to Response Fund) respond to an emergency 2,000,000 Population affected by natural disasters HTI-08/SNYS01 UN agencies and NGOs UNDP (on behalf Support for Strategic Coordination of the UN Development To support the Office of the Resident Coordinator with strategic planning and Operations strengthened communications capacities Coordination Population affected by natural disasters 300,000 Office[DOCO]) UN agencies and NGOs HTI-08/CSS EARLY RECOVERY Humanitarian consequences and needs analysis As detailed damage assessments are being undertaken, including a nation-wide assessment of early recovery needs, projections based on incoming information and last year s figures show that the economic impact will be more than double the 2004 Hurricane Jeanne figures. This will aggravate the economic situation of the most vulnerable population already hard hit by the rising cost of living (53% live under $1 a day and staple prices have increased in excess of 40% over the last eight months). The risk is that the country will see a shift from poverty to extreme poverty with the abrupt deterioration of human development indicators such as maternal and infant mortality, literacy rate, emigration, crime, and increase of environmental deterioration, etc. It is also well known that in humanitarian crises, women are among the most vulnerable. Given their multiple roles in the productive and reproductive arena, as both caregivers and economic actors, as well as the high number of female-headed households in Haiti, it is essential to strengthen women s capacity to respond to the crisis and to lay the foundations for recovery and reconstruction. Needs as direct and immediate results of the crisis are threefold: 9

14 Income-generating activities to rebuild lost capital; Emergency rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure and physical environment to attenuate current and future hurricane impact; Reduce social tension and promote collective solidarity. Objectives Pending the conduct and outcome of a nation-wide assessment of early recovery needs, it is essential to provide the most affected communities with immediate income-generating activities that will contribute to the restoration of the environment, rebuilding of livelihoods, and re-establish and facilitate access to essential services and food. Labour intensive activities, in the form of cash-for-work and food-for-work (in cooperation with WFP) will contribute further to the reduction of vulnerabilities and social tension in affected communities. To ensure a needs-based approach to recovery planning, interventions made by the international community should fully integrate the specific gender dimensions of the crisis into its immediate response and early recovery activities. This would include strengthening women s economic livelihood through access to financial resources and training for recapitalisation of small economic enterprises, as well as strengthening women s citizenship through reconstituting civil registration documents thereby enabling them to access their full rights as citizens. Strategy Develop a multi-sectoral assessment of immediate technical assistance and recovery needs. Establish close coordination with the Ministries of Agriculture, Public Works, Environment, Civil Protection, and other national partners. Establish partnership with agencies and specialised NGOs to implement activities. Target the largest possible number of affected communities. Increase self-reliance of affected communities through community development work and restoration of livelihoods in affected areas. Using the existing social networks reinforce the capacity of the communities to engage in collective support. Provide immediate income-generating opportunities to one person per family (family size is, on average, 4.24 persons) during 75 working days. Identify the most relevant activities for each community through a participatory approach. Ensure constant UNDP field presence and joint monitoring of activities with communities. Adopt a multi-sectoral approach: agriculture, environment, public works, support to community based organisations (CBOs). Develop and use gender-sensitive indicators in the development and implementation of humanitarian action. Establish close coordination with the Ministry of Women, women s organisations and specialised NGOs to implement activities. Provide livelihood support to targeted women s organisations to recapitalise micro-enterprises. Provide support to targeted women s organisations to reconstitute civil registration papers. Humanitarian actions Restore collective security, mitigate health hazards due to poor hygiene and sanitation conditions, and enable restoration of productive capacity of land. Expected outputs and impacts Country wide multi-sectoral assessment of immediate technical assistance and recovery needs. Hectares of agricultural land restored for production. Surface covered for anti erosion mechanisms. Number of anti-erosion works executed. Number of families involved in income-generating work. Development and use of gender sensitive indicators for monitoring during early response and early recovery activities. Improved integration of gender into humanitarian and early response activities. Number of women who receive economic support. Number of women s enterprises reconstituted. Number of women and men who have reconstituted their civil registration documents. Number of families, especially female-headed households who are less vulnerable. 10

Needs as direct and immediate results of the crisis are two-fold: school reopening: school cleaning, school rehabilitation, replacing of destroyed furniture and materials; school attendance: access to school supplies, textbooks, uniforms. In the actual context of disasters hitting Haiti, combined with the on-going food crisis, already deprived and vulnerable children are at-risk of not attending or going back to school due to the losses of their family s income. The number of out-of-school children could significantly increase. The flooding could 11

16 have serious effects on more than one thousand schools throughout the country and the attendance and access of about 500,000 children could be affected. Objectives 100,000 most affected children return to school and successfully complete successfully the current school year. Technical and material assistance is provided to 200 schools, needed to restore a normal school environment.

Support Agencies MOSS compliance. Ensure efficiency and avoid duplication of efforts by establishing common network backbone and systems, supplied with the necessarily electrical power, that individual agencies can tap onto and access. Maintain the existing inter-agency telecommunications systems and common data communications services during the emergency and ensure a smooth transition to postemergency activities. Provide UN staff and NGO users with basic training on the use of security telecommunications facilities in case of emergency. Build in-country capacity and a fall-back communications facility in case of failure or overload of public communications. Establish a single point of contact with the Government for the humanitarian community on licensing and frequency management issues. Description of activities The entire project strategy is based on utilising to the extent possible the existing infrastructure, including facilities and capacity from in-country partners, augmenting it and avoiding redundancy wherever possible. Internet connectivity will be provided to the humanitarian community in areas where services have been disrupted or are otherwise unavailable. Services will be provided in the form of shared internet facilities in common operational areas accessible by all UN agencies and NGOs. The project will ensure VHF and HF radio availability throughout the humanitarian theatre of operations, by strengthening the existing networks and deploying in new areas of operations. A team of telecommunication experts will initially provide technical support to this task. Two new UN common radio rooms capable of 24/7 operations will be established to cover common operational areas. Both radio rooms will provide 24/7 monitoring of the radio networks, staff and vehicle tracking in the field, and maintain a contact directory for all humanitarian partners in the country. Training is a key project component to ensure that partners will be able to take full advantage of the established security support tools. A dedicated radio trainer with international experience will arrange 13

18 training sessions for humanitarian organisations; the trainer will also hire and train radio operators for the radio rooms. Expected Results All common operational areas covered by a UN-operated 24/7 radio room. All field missions monitored by the common UN security telecommunication system. UN common radio checks established as required as per Phase III requirements. Internet access available to UN agencies and NGOs through shared facilities in common operational areas.

They have lost most of their belongings, in particular shelters and crops. It is estimated that some 800,000 people in total will need food assistance for a period of six months. The vulnerable groups most affected are: pregnant and lactating women, children under-five, elderly, female heads of households, and disabled people. In the immediate aftermath of the disasters, the entire displaced population does not have access to food or cooking facilities. High energy biscuits are the most appropriate type of food in such situations. As soon as feasible, the specific needs of children, pregnant and nursing women, elderly, and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) shall be covered with specific rations. To the extent possible ablebodied persons will be assisted through food-for-work and food and cash-for-work activities. This will help stabilise a very tense socio-economic environment. School-age children will also receive a meal at makeshift schools. Offices in addition to the one existing in Cap Haitien will be established in Gonaives, Jacmel, Port de Paix. The Cap Haitien and Port-au-Prince offices will be reinforced to cope with the increased workload. Coordination of transport activities will be facilitated by the Logistics Cluster and the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS). Implementing partners will be strengthened to cover all relevant areas. Food coordination meetings will be created in each location. Partnership with UNICEF will be central to the success of the operation. Objective Save lives and protect livelihoods in crisis situations and restore the health and nutritional status of people affected by the recent natural disaster. Humanitarian actions Immediate food distributions of high energy biscuits in the temporary shelters and to the most affected people in urban and rural areas for a period of five days. Relief assistance in the form of dry family food rations for a period of six months to the most vulnerable households. Other activities will include targeted food distributions, food-for-work activities, nutrition safety-nets which will target children under five and pregnant and lactating mothers, and school feeding. A special focus will be on the complementary partnership with UNICEF in the nutrition, education, and water and sanitation sectors. 14

Primary needs in the health sector are related to the provision of health care (including special attention to maternal health care and provision of drugs and other medical supplies), epidemiological surveillance for disease control (vector control), restoring hospital services and health centres to prehurricane levels, and coordination of the various health actors. The elderly, children and pregnant women in need of reproductive health and emergency obstetric care are most under strain, as well as patients with chronic disease, patients undergoing HIV and tuberculosis treatments. Several hospitals have been severely damaged, such as the main hospitals in Gonaives, Port de Paix and Les Cayes that have been flooded. There is a shortage of insulin, anaesthetics, and small surgical materials. Objectives Ensure continuity of access to health care at least at the level prior to the passage of the storms and prevent outbreaks of communicable diseases. Strategy Ensure close institutional and technical coordination with the multiple actors working in the health sector. Humanitarian actions Provision of drugs and other essential medical supplies and equipment. Setting up an emergency surveillance system, vector control activities and logistics for mobile teams and basic repairs to health centres. Emergency repairs to health centres and special attention to vulnerable groups, like pregnant women, will also be considered in the response. Expected outputs and impacts Outputs: absence of outbreaks of communicable diseases; a coordinated health sector response; improved access to health care and free treatment. Impact: Reduce the public health impact of Hurricane Gustav and tropical storm Hanna on the affected population of Haiti. 15

23 3.8 LOGISTICS HAITI FLASH APPEAL 2008 Humanitarian consequences and needs analysis Several heavily populated areas remain inaccessible to humanitarian organisations. Furthermore, lack of timely assistance to the population, notably in the Gonaives area, may further destabilise the fragile security situation in the town. Banditry, violence and popular unrest are expected to result from the restricted access to limited food reserves in the town. Initial assessments and reports show that the town of Gonaives and neighbourhoods with a population over 350,000 inhabitants mostly relying on food assistance will remain inaccessible by surface means for several weeks. Access to remote areas of the country devastated by the storms will be a challenge. The road network in the southern part of the country is still heavily damaged and the Artibonite and northern regions will require months to re-establish minimum transport conditions. Based upon current estimates for the number of people who will require assistance, logistics operations will need to be able to move some 5,000 MTs per month of humanitarian assistance. This will include 3,000 MTs of food assistance, with the remainder in NFIs and water and sanitation equipment. Objectives The logistics component of this Flash Appeal will provide the humanitarian community with the necessary logistics structure to ensure prompt delivery and full coverage for the immediate emergency response in the relevant provinces Strategy and humanitarian action The logistics for the inter-agency immediate response will be organised using air, sea and land transport. Important logistics means will be required to ensure an efficient response. WFP will be leading the inter-agency logistics efforts and calculated the following requirements to overcome the bottlenecks caused by the destructions and damages throughout the country. Air transport For the first two months of the emergency response, most of the urgent deliveries will need to be supported by helicopter operations, while roads are rehabilitated and water levels subside. Four heavy-lift helicopters will be mobilised and will operate out of the MINUSTAH base in Port-au- Prince. They will be used to shuttle humanitarian goods between the farthest accessible point on the road leading to Gonaives and the MINUSTAH base in this locality. They will also be deployed to other areas in need, in the north as well as in the south, where populations remain isolated. Qualified aviation staff will be deployed as required to support the helicopter operation and ensure efficiency, safety and security of the operation. Sea transport Another important logistics support to the relief operations will be the provision of coastal sea transport. Landing craft and local vessels will operate along the coastlines to reach communities cut off due to road blockages and damaged bridges. Smaller boats will be used be used on inland waterways to reach isolated inland communities. Land transport In higher lying areas, with already poor road infrastructure, damage caused by heavy rain and landslides will require the use of specialised "all terrain" trucks in order to access final delivery points. Due to the lack of availability of this type of transport in the commercial sector, WFP will augment its current truck fleet with an additional 25 vehicles to support the transport needs of the humanitarian community. Storage To support the three transport augmentations mentioned above it will also be necessary to provide additional warehousing capacity in the major centres and to set-up temporary forwarding hubs with 19

24 mobile storage facilities, prefabricated office space and information and communication technologies (ICT) security equipment at four strategic locations within the most affected areas of the country. Inter-agency operational support In its role as the lead of the Logistics Cluster, WFP will provide coordination and information management services to support operations and ensure a coordinated and efficient logistics response. The Logistics Cluster will provide information management, cargo tracking (for goods moved by the common service) and GIS mapping services to all humanitarian actors and provide civil-military coordination. A total of 12 logistics staff is included in the current proposal to support the Logistics Cluster coordination services and increased operations. Expected outputs and impacts A timely, efficient and well-coordinated delivery of relief items. Enhanced logistics coordination and information sharing amongst all humanitarian actors. Sufficient transport and warehousing capacity within Haiti for the humanitarian community to deliver its relief items. WFP HTI-08/CSS02 LOGISTICS $ Logistics augmentation and coordination in support of the humanitarian community in Haiti Provide UN system and main partners the 17,578,468 necessary logistical support All humanitarian partners All humanitarian partners 3.9 PROTECTION Humanitarian consequences and needs analysis Damages caused by the weather have increased the vulnerability of more than 290,000 children. More than 2,500 children are estimated to be evacuated from zones hit by the storms. Over 35,000 women and girls are presently in shelters in Gonaives. Marginalised groups, such as PLWHA or disabled persons, are becoming even more vulnerable. UNICEF is particularly concerned about children who are separated from or have lost their family, as well as other vulnerable children whose situation has been seriously impacted by this disaster. Vulnerable children include street children, orphans; children affected by violence, children in domestic servitude, etc. who often have too little protection with no access to basic services. Appropriate measures must be taken immediately to prevent any risks of abuse, violence and exploitation. Most vulnerable children without adequate parental care, victims of or those at risk of abuse, violence, exploitation and neglect, as well as their families, need special attention to ensure their protection and access to basic services. Separated or unaccompanied children need to be identified and their families traced to reunite them with members of their family. Social mobilisation is necessary to prevent family separation during and after this disaster, as the capacities of families to take care of their children will be significantly reduced. The situation of women is also highly fragile. Promiscuity in the shelters is a direct risk to the protection of their rights and their dignity. Sexual and gender-based violence can also be generated by these extreme situations. The fact that distribution of food and NFIs to families often passes through women constitutes another pressure on them. In a generally disorganised situation, abuse and exploitation of disabled persons is also a risk. Objectives Prevent family separation, ensure family reunification for separated children and provide psychosocial care and support to affected children. Protect the rights of women and girls, as well as of persons from marginalised groups rendered more vulnerable due to the natural disasters. 20

25 Strategy Coordination with child protection agencies and institutions. Reinforcement of protection mechanisms at community level. Identification and family reinsertion of orphans and separated children. Social mobilisation to prevent family separation, violence, abuse and exploitation. Humanitarian actions Conduct a rapid assessment of the situation of children and women. Provide psychosocial care and support to children, women and families mostly affected. Prevention of sexual abuse and violence and monitoring of the situation. Family reunification/reinsertion of separated children. Recovery of civil registry documents. Expected outputs and impacts A rapid assessment is undertaken regarding the situation of children and women. Psychosocial care and support is given to the most affected children and families. Communities are sensitised on the issue of family separation and the risk of violence, abuse and exploitation. Basic protection principles are respected in temporary shelters. Family-tracing systems are in place and separated children reunited with their families. Coordination mechanism to facilitate access to food and non food access are used to reach the most marginalised groups.

Entire communities have been displaced throughout the country. A substantial proportion of the affected population will be in need of shelter and material support. In view of the risk of further damage due to Hurricane Ike and the potential of further storms during the hurricane season, the communities most at risk need to be provided with the means to reinforce the structure of their houses wherever possible and be provided with options for waste removal. Such efforts require the provision of plastic and metal sheeting, tools and basic construction materials. In addition, the distribution of essential NFIs should benefit a large portion of the affected population. Kitchen and hygiene kits in particular, are of the utmost importance, as the current critical phase is likely to rapidly translate into a period of acute vulnerability during which temporary shelters will no longer be available. Basic NFI distributions should take place on a large scale, targeting entire communities and avoiding discrimination between affected groups. Past experience in Haiti suggests that uneven NFI distribution (or distributions perceived as unfair) can result in increased intracommunity tensions. Provision and distribution of kitchen and hygiene kits should therefore reach a large proportion of the estimated impacted population, including women and girls. To ensure efficiency and consistency in undertaking such efforts, distribution will be handled through a wide network of field partners and organisations, in support of and in close coordination with government counterparts, at local and national levels. Tens of thousands of displaced families are currently being accommodated in temporary shelters. In Gonaives alone, a rapid survey of 150 temporary shelters indicates that up to 70,000 have sought 22

27 refuge in these sites, including 3,000 pregnant women and 14,000 women-headed households. The demand for temporary shelter is expected to rise and shelter infrastructure is for the moment grossly inadequate. Objectives Provide the communities that have completely or partially lost their accommodation with the means to immediately protect themselves from rains, remove waste, and reinforce their houses wherever possible. Distribution of NFIs to a large proportion of the displaced and those affected by the flood, targeting entire communities. Ensure that temporary shelter conditions meet minimum safety and hygiene standards. Support overall coordination, monitoring and assistance efforts towards adequate management of temporary shelters and other needs arising out of displacement induced by disasters. Strategy The overall strategy is to ensure that life-saving support reaches the displaced and communities at large that have been most severely hit by the current disaster. This will be ensured through the procurement, transportation and distribution of essential NFIs, the provision of adequate temporary shelter, and assistance to those returning to their houses and having suffered damage to their property. With an estimated 100,000 individuals in temporary shelters, it is essential that adequate conditions be ensured. The vast majority of shelter sites are in dilapidated condition, with no access to water, sanitation and protection from the rain in many instances. With another two months before the end of the hurricane season, and with thousands of houses completely destroyed, there is a high risk that the current critical phase may turn into a protracted situation. Humanitarian actions Support to and coordination with distribution networks, including cluster leads, national, regional and local authorities, the Direction of Civil Protection. Distribution of NFIs to those communities, individual and families most affected by flood and other side effects of tropical storm Hanna and hurricane Gustav. Distribution of relief items and light equipment to those having suffered partial or total loss of accommodation to promote self-help repairs. Immediate improvement of temporary shelter conditions in key areas most severely damaged by flood, including immediate repairs to temporary shelter infrastructure, insulation of roofs, access to latrines. Provide overall technical assistance and support to national assistance strategies and plans. Expected outcomes and impact Coordinated response in the area of shelter and provision of NFIs. Displaced populations benefit from adequate temporary shelter conditions. A large proportion of affected communities are provided with NFIs, helping those most at risk to cope in a situation of protracted vulnerability for the duration of the hurricane season. Those having suffered partial damage to their houses are able to remain on site, or, if displaced, return with more confidence thanks to the promotion of self-help and quick recovery support.

Cluster members and donors will discuss whether it is best that resources be channelled through the emergency shelter/nfi cluster and distributed according to identified needs, in agreement with all cluster partners WATER AND SANITATION Humanitarian consequences and needs analysis Children under-five and women represent the most affected groups. Children are the most vulnerable to common infectious diseases like respiratory infection and diarrhoea. Water and sanitation services need to be urgently provided to avoid an increase in infant mortality and the risk of water-related diseases that may overwhelm an already over-burdened public health system. 24

29 Damage to the power system and cold chain, interruption of the water supply, and heavy contamination of wells, housing and other facilities with mud are likely to increase the risk of diseases. Weak water and sanitation systems have been extremely damaged, leaving populations of entire districts totally deprived of safe water. The disruption of and reduced access to health services could increase the vulnerability of the population to common infectious diseases like respiratory infection and diarrhoea, particularly affecting children under-five. Preventive and therapeutic nutritional programmes will be necessary to address the risk of increased malnutrition and to treat those already most at risk. The nutritional situation of children is affected as farmlands and livestock are severely impacted by the flooding. Community approach will be promoted for non complicated cases while hospital services will be reinforced to treat severe cases. Objectives To reduce health risks related to unsafe water, lack of sanitation and poor hygiene practices for affected populations particularly children and women. Strategy In collaboration with PAHO/WHO, national authorities and partners, needs assessment will continue while immediate identified water and sanitation needs will be addressed. Establish coordination mechanism with all stakeholders, including the Ministry of public works, NGOs and local partners. The definition of monitoring indicators in coordination with community and institutional partners will be set up. Regular field visits will be organised by UNICEF, MTPTC and partners. Provide or ensure safe quality water supply and sanitation and hand-washing facilities at schools and health posts. Establish, improve and expand safe water systems and sanitation facilities. Establish regular hygiene promotion activities and disseminate key hygiene messages on water- and excreta-related diseases. Providing safe water directly to the affected population will be the main strategy to address immediate needs. Link with Health and Nutrition to ensure that any milk substitutes for therapeutic feeding is hygienic handles and mixed using safe water. Humanitarian actions Provision of safe drinking water, water containers and hygiene kits etc. Provision of water and sanitation materials. Rehabilitation of water systems; cleaning and chlorination of wells; vector control. Construction /rehabilitation of household latrines. Emergency rehabilitation of water and sanitation systems will be undertaken in the areas where the most damage has occurred. Expected outputs and impacts Number of people having access to safe drinking water and water and sanitation facilities. Number of people sensitised on good hygiene practice. Number of water and sanitation systems rehabilitated. Number of public sites cleaned-up and rendered accessible for provision of basic services. Length of urban drainage channels repaired and rehabilitated. 25

31 4. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES HAITI FLASH APPEAL 2008 At the central level in Port-au-Prince, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator (RC/HC) coordinates the response of the international assistance community, including UN country team and IASC country team, in support and under the leadership of the Haitian Government, and the Ministry of Interior and Collectivités Territoriales (MICT) in particular. 2 Efforts will be made to support the participation of key stakeholders and facilitate the mainstreaming of critical issues such as gender. At operational level, the coordinating branch is the Directorate of Civil Protection (DPC), which functions as an inter-ministerial platform. The DPC s structure consists of a central office in Port-au-Prince and regional disaster management committees. The RC/HC is supported by OCHA, UNDP and the UNDAC team, which was deployed since day one of the emergency. In his capacity as Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary- General (DSRSG), the RC/HC is also mobilising support from MINUSTAH s military and civilian components. In Gonaives, UN coordination is performed by staff of the RC/HC/DSRSG office with the support of UNDAC in support of DPC s overall coordination role. While assessments are still ongoing, there is a clearly identified need to reinforce the national capacity and existing coordination structures. Pending assistance to those structures, help from the global cluster leads is being particularly and urgently sought by the UNCT in the areas of Logistics (WFP), Water & Sanitation (UNICEF), Shelter and Non- Food Items (IOM) and Early Recovery (UNDP).

40 ANNEX I. INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF RED CROSS AND RED CRESCENT SOCIETIES ANNEX I. INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF RED CROSS AND RED CRESCENT SOCIETIES Haiti: Hurricane Season 2008 Emergency appeal n MDR49004 GLIDE No. TC September 2008 This Preliminary Emergency Appeal seeks CHF 3,812,770 (USD 3,466,154 or EUR 2,360,848) in cash, kind, or services to support the Haitian National Red Cross Society to assist 10,000 families (50,000 beneficiaries) for 6 months. CHF 300,000 (USD 272,727 or EUR 186,335) was allocated from the Federation s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support this operation. Unearmarked funds to replenish DREF are encouraged. Summary: On 26 August, hurricane Gustav hit Haiti with force, leaving thousands of people affected. Just as the Haitian National Red Cross Society (HNRCS) was responding to this emergency, tropical storm Hanna surprised the country on 1 September, after it unexpectedly changed its course heading towards the northern coast of Haiti. This exacerbated the effects of Gustav and left more people affected. In addition to this, hurricane Ike and tropical storm Josephine will likely affect Haiti in the coming days. Based on this situation, the National Society requested international support through an Emergency Appeal. This appeal will focus on providing an appropriate and timely response by delivering assistance and relief through the distribution of relief items, health, shelter, water and sanitation, logistics and early recovery, to lay the foundations for future risk reduction. In support of the HNRCS and the Federation s Pan American Disaster Response Unit (PADRU), a Field Assessment Coordination Team (FACT) has been mobilised for deployment to Haiti. In addition, Relief and Logistics Emergency Response Units (ERU) are being deployed and a Regional Intervention Team (RIT) alert has been issued. This operation is expected to be implemented over 6 months, and will therefore be completed by 5 March, 2008; a Final Report will be made available by 5 June 2008 (three months after the end of the operation). Coordination and Partnerships The Red Cross Movement has been coordinating efforts both internally and externally from the onset of the emergencies. The Deputy Head of Zone for the Americas and the Regional Representative for Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Haiti were initially in Haiti supporting early damage and needs assessments after Gustav, undertaken by the HNRCS. A PADRU Disaster Management delegate arrived in Haiti on 28 August to provide coordination and technical support. Daily coordination meetings with the HNRCS, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), UN agencies, and Partner National Societies (PNS) from Canada, France, Spain and the United States, provided additional support to HNRCS assessments and operations. The Norwegian Red Cross has contacted the International Federation to offer its support based on the evolution of the emergency. It also facilitated the logistics of the Federation team in Haiti, by making their transport means and other 36
