1 SECRETARIAT route de Ferney, P.O. Box 2100, 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland - TEL: FAX: Preliminary Appeal Sri Lanka LKA131 Preliminary Appeal Target: US$163,204 Geneva, 13 February 2013 Dear Colleagues, Heavy rains have been falling in parts of Sri Lanka since 18 December 2012, causing flash floods, landslides and overflowing of water storage tanks. Many of the areas affected by these storms were still recovering from previous heavy rains last year. The torrential rains and subsequent floods caused substantial damage and severely disturbed the normal everyday activities of the affected populations. Transport and communication services came to a standstill, schools were closed, over seventy five small and medium water tanks (reservoirs) were either damaged, destroyed or washed away. There were several incidents of land and rock slides reported in Nuwara-eliya and Badulla Districts. Livestock and livelihoods of people were severely affected with standing crops either being seriously damaged or totally destroyed. It is also reported that most of the mud houses were destroyed while other houses remain uninhabitable. The impact from both the December and January flooding has taken a heavy toll on the flood affected population. According to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC) situation report as at 16 January 2013, 497,205 people from 135,283 families had been affected country-wide by the bad weather conditions. Nearly 3,718 people had sought shelter in 42 temporary camps (schools, churches and public buildings), while the rest opted to remain in nearby homes of family and friends. 47 people lost their lives due to the flood waters. Damage to housing was more acute in the second round of floods in January due to the intensive pressure of waters released from already-full reservoirs. The flood situation remains grim with rains continuing in most parts of the country. Ampara and Batticaloa District have been especially hard hit. As per the DMC on 28 January over 405,000 persons from 110, 000 families, in eastern Sri Lanka alone, are now affected by the flood situation. ACT member, the National Christian Council of Sri Lanka, along with its implementing partners, proposes to assist 250 severely affected, resource poor families who remain without basic household utensils to regain self sufficiency. This will be done through provision of non-food items (cooking utensils, bedding, education packs for students); livelihood recovery through provision of seeds, livestock and training as well as facilitating awareness of the environment and its importance in disaster risk reduction.

3 Preliminary Appeal: LKA131: 3 II. NARRATIVE SUMMARY DETAILS OF THE EMERGENCY Background Heavy rains have been falling in parts of Sri Lanka since 18 December 2012, causing flash floods, landslides and overflowing of water storage tanks. Some of the areas affected by these storms were still recovering from previous heavy rains last year. The torrential rains and subsequent floods caused substantial damage and severely disturbed the normal everyday activities of the affected populations. Transport and communication services came to a standstill, schools were closed, over seventy five small and medium water tanks (reservoirs) were either damaged, destroyed or washed away. There were several incidents of land and rock slides reported in Nuwara-eliya and Badulla Districts. In most cases the livestock and livelihoods of people were severely affected with standing crops either being seriously damaged or totally destroyed. It is also reported that most of the mud houses were destroyed while other houses remain uninhabitable. The impact from both the December and January flooding has taken a heavy toll on the flood affected population. According to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC) situation report as at 16 January 2013, 497,205 people from 135,283 families had been affected country-wide by the bad weather conditions. Nearly 3,718 people had sought shelter in 42 temporary camps (schools, churches and public buildings), while the rest opted to remain in nearby homes of family and friends. 47 people lost their lives due to the floods waters. Damage to housing was more acute in the second round of floods in January due to the intensive pressure of waters released from already-full reservoirs. Current Situation The heavy rains, which began in mid December 2012, caused floods and landslides in many parts of the Island. During the period of preparing this appeal the rains receded for a few days but intensified again (see DMC data of 16 January 2013). As at end January 2013, Ampara and Batticaloa District had been especially hard hit. As per the DMC on 28 January over 405,000 persons from 110, 000 families, in eastern Sri Lanka alone, were affected by the flood situation. It also reports that 351 houses have been destroyed and 1,701 houses severely damaged.

The Puttalam district zonal agriculture office stated that 2,077 hectares of rice crops were affected, estimating a loss of 16,438 metric tons of paddy (in Puttalam alone). In addition, lands used for cultivating vegetables, fruits and spices were also destroyed. Batticaloe: Manmunai North and South West, Eravur Pattu, Kathankudi and Koralai Pattu, are the worst hit areas where over 150,000 acres of paddy fields were submerged. With all 14 Divisional Secretariat Divisions (DSDs) being affected in Batticaloa District, 60% of the rural population and 37% of the urban population are estimated to have been affected by the recent floods. Polonnaruwa District: All sluice gates of the Parakrama Samudraya, Minneriya and Kavudulla tanks in Polonnaruwa were opened following the heavy rains. The Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) estimated, that as of 9 January 2013, floods in the Polonnaruwa district had damaged 15-20% of the nations rice harvest. The IRIN reports indicated that the paddy fields have been inundated three times since November Farmers whose crops have been damaged or destroyed may not have sufficient resources to purchase seeds for the upcoming yala planting season, beginning in mid-march or April. Small scale vendors and daily wage earners were also badly affected. Overall about 1,600 families were affected by the floods and five deaths were reported in this district. Schools were closed as children were unable to attend due to impassable roads. Schools, community centres and places of worship were transformed into evacuation Centres. Although most of the schools have re-opened, many children in the worst-affected areas have not yet been able to replace the uniforms, shoes, books and other supplies lost during the floods and that they need to go back to school. Actions to date Government response: The Government of Sri Lanka, through the Ministry of Disaster Management, and Finance and Planning provided immediate relief to those affected, specially targeting the persons in evacuation centres. A sum of Rs. 100 million (US$785,000) was allocated for flood relief of which Rs million have already been distributed among the 16 districts since 18 December These funds have been utilised for the provision of cooked meals, dry rations and immediate relief. The GoSL has also provided the necessary search and rescue services, along with evacuation services through the armed forces, at district level. Relief assistance provided was not sufficient to meet all the needs of the people. The state relief and assistance was provided to those in evacuation centres only. Many of the affected decided to remain in their homes (or with friends and relatives) for as long as possible and many of the most severely affected areas were not reachable and the people were marooned. Even though 16 districts were affected by floods, landslides and high winds, the GoSL did not declare a state of emergency. The Ministry of Disaster Management requested assistance for non food items, from the UN and local and international non-governmental organizations. Coordination for the distribution of relief items was handled by OCHA.

5 Preliminary Appeal: LKA131: 5 With the rains reducing, water levels are receding and the situation in most districts is normalising and people are returning home. However, concerns remain over damaged and destroyed houses, loss of livelihood and loss of household items. In support of Government efforts, humanitarian agencies who were focusing on addressing the emergency needs of flood-affected populations are now taking a more medium to long-term approach to recovery activities in flood-affected areas. A Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) meeting was held on the 4 January to discuss the current situation, and how best to respond and be prepared for future emergencies. It was highlighted that that the frequency of such disasters has changed due to climate change. District authorities are conducting assessments, while agencies are committing to provision of flood relief and engage in reconstruction. Many projects remain under-funded across the sectors with special reference to those focusing on shelter, agriculture/livelihood and infrastructure sectors, thus making future planning and timely responses challenging. ACT members National Christian Council in Sri Lanka (NCCSL) with the support of its partner churches members in Batticaloa and Trincomalee, provided dry rations and cooked meals for 340 families, while the Church of Ceylon coordinated in supplying cooked food for 200 flood victims in Batticaloa and Chilaw areas. Location for proposed response The current proposed response will be undertaken in the following five districts that were, and still are, severely affected. Assistance in these districts will be under direct management and supervision of the partner churches based and operating in the areas and in co-ordination with the respective government authorities. An initial emergency needs assessment was carried out by NCCSL partners in the areas and selection criteria were discussed by the Community Animators, leaders of local churches and clergy. A more detailed needs assessment will be carried on which the full appeal will be based. Note: The principles of Code of Conduct and Do No Harm will be strongly considered during the selection process. The selection process will be done carefully to avoid bias and perceptions of discrimination in favour or against any persons. Most of the flood affected communities in targeted areas understand the prioritization criteria and the fact that disaster impacts each family differently and that there can be conflict when there is not sufficient relief/rehabilitation items to go round. Impartiality is strongly applied by local churches as aid is given on a needs base, without considering the religious background, race and social status.

Most particularly the NCCSL will implement the proposed interventions through two key constituent members namely the Methodist Church of Sri Lanka, Church of Ceylon and field related partners being the UVA Farmers Development and Aruna Universal Social Foundation. NCCSL will coordinate as well as implement selected interventions through the existing community based organizations in Badulla, Polonnaruwa and Batticaloa. Proposed project structure is explained below to ensure that different churches will function as cohesive units, implementing one project in different areas. Project implementation methodology The implementing partners and the local Churches will be responsible for the implementation with local farmer groups to be established. The NCCSL will monitor and co-ordinate in the field to ensure uniformity and effective sharing among the diverse implementing partners in a specific region. The partner agencies have already been involving the beneficiaries in decision making. The process will be further consolidated, and people s groups will be given increasing responsibility in the implementation. Selection of direct beneficiaries will follow participatory principles. NCCSL will encourage its partners to maintain transparency in the process and set-up a complaint mechanism wherever possible. The staff involved in the project has been sensitised on the need to follow the Code of Conduct of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and Non- Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Disaster Relief as well as the ACT guidelines on prevention of sexual abuse and gender, while implementing the project. The General Secretary and rehabilitation and development unit staff in Colombo office will coordinate and facilitate the initiatives through two full-time project coordinators (NCCSL from the Rehabilitation & Development unit) and supported by the Executive Secretary who will be responsible for Batticaloa, Trincomalee, Polonaruwa and for Badulla & Puttalam.
