Disaster description
The Early Warning Department of the National Disaster Risk Management Commission released the second issue of the National Flood Alert listing additional areas at risk of flooding and landslides, while several parts of the country continue to receive average to above average Belg/spring season rainfall since April.
The first alert, released on 26 April, was prepared based on the National Meteorology Agency (NMA) forecast for the Belg season and provided information on the projected weather condition, including list of areas at risk of flooding to guide mitigation, preparedness and response measures.
So far, flooding due to heavy rains left some 27,000 persons displaced in Afar Region, and 11,200 households in Somali Region. (OCHA, 14 May 2021)
Optimizing protocols for early action in Ethiopia
Format
(This is an edited version of a story first published by the Netherland Red Cross 510 data team and the Anticipation Hub on Wednesday.)
The IFRC earlier this month announced that its Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) had approved an allocation of 350,000 Swiss francs for a new early action protocol for Ethiopia with floods as the priority hazard.
The Ethiopia Red Cross Society (ERCS) is the primary implementer, with support from the Netherlands Red Cross (NLRC) and its 510 data team, the IFRC, and the Climate Centre.
A simulation exercise in early March in the Awash river basin was conducted “to test assumptions and to see if the EAP runs as effectively as possible or if there are potential tweaks that can be made in the process,” said Sirak Temesgen, NLRC Regional Disaster Risk Reduction Delegate.
Ethiopia: Humanitarian Cargo Notification Guidelines, April 2021
Format
Guidelines for notifying NDRMC on the Movement of Humanitarian Cargo into Tigray
As of 9th of March 2021, there is no longer a need to submit cargo for clearance by the Ethiopian government. This will accelerate the provision of humanitarian commodities to populations in need.
However, all agencies must inform the National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC) 48 hours before any cargo is transported into the Tigray region. This is only if the cargo is going into locations inside Tigray and not to one of the Logistics Cluster hubs (Gonder, Kombolcha, Semera).
If you are not using Logistics Cluster facilitated-transportation services, then please email Ato Dawit Abraham, dawit.abraham@wfp.org, with the details of your planned transport action into Tigray.
