Pakistan Floods 2011 - Humanitarian Response

PAKISTAN FLOODS RESPONSE PLAN 2011and renovation and rehabilitation of schools (especially schools used as shelters) and for the capacitybuilding of education officials.The following (in addition to ones mentioned for the emergency phase) should be noted with regard tothe early recovery interventions: Cash and vouchers should be considered as an option where markets can support the demand. Many people may have lost land and so rebuilding their house will not be possible. Pending more and detailed information on available capacity /resources and based on bestpractices of 2010 floods interventions it is well possible that support through „self recovery‟ is theonly feasible option to support the large number of affected families. In that scenario specificgender and vulnerability considerations will have to be addressed sufficiently. Tents may be required for some over-congested collective centres, especially in educationalfacilities used as shelters. Dissemination of health hygiene materials and messages to children in protected learning spaces. Provision of educational supplies to protected learning spaces including school in box kits,recreation kits, seating mats, teachers‟ furniture, water coolers and tarpaulin rolls. Provision, dissemination and orientation of MEENA materials on proper use of school buildingsoccupied by uprooted people.Expected outcomes 273,919 families whose houses have been fully damaged with receive adequate emergencyshelter and the most vulnerable people have access to emergency shelter. Adequate support will be provided to the inhabitants of the approximately 3,500 temporarysettlements. Families will have shelter that provides a secure habitable living environment, privacy and dignityfor those within it, as well as access to livelihoods and ability to maintain family and communityspace.
