departments, including the CSOs and volunteer groups;

The contingency plan covers the activities to be undertaken in the 2023-2028 flood season with scenarios for the likely occurrence of floods based on the previous flood experience and rainfall forecasts. It is found that most parts of the district receive normal to heavy rainfall between July and December.

The Contingency Plan is drawn on historical data and experiences of the occurrence of disasters such as floods and/or dry spells as building blocks for coming up with panning assumptions and likely scenarios should such hazards occur during the 2023-2028 rainy seasons. (Read more)

OBJECTIVE OF THE PLAN

The overall objective of the Contingency Plan is to support the timely, consistent, and coordinated response to anticipated floods, thus effectively minimizing the impact of the floods on human population, livelihood, and the environment. This will in turn help reduce the scale of humanitarian needs to the affected population. The plan also has an inbuilt flexibility that allows it to embrace other
hazards such as drought and other waterborne diseases should they occur anywhere in the city.

The specific objectives the contingency plan aims at addressing are as follows:

  1. To improve the management and coordination of preparedness, response, and rehabilitation arrangements
  2. To improve early warning information sharing to ensure effective response
  3. To ensure timely resource mobilization and response
  4. To reduce the risk of secondary hazards i.e. water-borne diseases
  5. To ascertain the type and quantities of assistance to be required as a result of the emergency
  6. To identify and define the roles and responsibilities of all partners in emergency response
  7. To utilize emergency and recovery assistance as a baseline for building long-term interventions

A Contingency Plan (CP) is a planning process and a scenario-based plan that aims to prevent the occurrence of emerging threats or crises by synchronizing the plans and response systems of the agencies involved.

It establishes preparedness mechanisms and arranges response priorities before a certain disaster.

With the growing significance of CP, it has become applicable not only in DRRM but also in crisis management that involves plans and institutional arrangements to engage and guide the efforts of government, non-government, voluntary, and private agencies in comprehensive and coordinated ways to respond to the entire spectrum of crisis needs.

Contingency planning ensures that we know what to do when disaster strikes, and have the systems and tools to respond fast. It means anticipating the types of disasters we might face and knowing how to manage them when they strike. It also means rehearsing our procedures and working out where the gaps are, so that we can be ready when needed. Plans need to be regularly updated and tested through simulations.
