Flood |
Benin |
Heavy rainfall was recorded over localized areas of central Benin, with a significant amount of rainfall during the month of September 2022. 27 communes out of 77 suffered from rising waters. According to the situation report prepared by the National Agency for Civil Protection (ANPC) and presented to the Government on September 29, 2022, this sudden rise in water levels due to the release of water from the Nagbeto dam in Togo and heavy rains caused 4 deaths by drowning and 35 deaths due to water-related accidents and 3 missing persons. The coasts of the Mono, Ouémé and Niger rivers in Benin experienced a peak in river overflow. This situation has led to widespread flooding in several municipalities in Benin such as: Cotonou, Abomey-Calavi, Sô-Ava, Sèmè-Podji, Aguégués, Adjohoun, Bonou, Dangbo, Ouinhi, Zagnanado, Zogbodomey, Glazoué, Grand-Popo, Athiémé, Lokossa, Bopa, Tchaourou, Malanville, Karimama, Banikoara, Dassa-Zoumè, Savalou, and Zè, with several villages currently under water. Numerous socio-community infrastructures, including more than fifty elementary school and a dozen colleges, were submerged by the floods. In addition, several houses have been destroyed or damaged, as well as crossing structures. According to the report shared by the Government, more than 73,000 people have been affected, as well as nearly 1,400 houses damaged by the waters, of which at least 670 have been completely destroyed. Significant agricultural and livestock losses have been recorded on nearly 18,000 hectares of land in the 22 communes. A session of the National Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction was urgently convened by the Minister of the Interior, President of the Platform, on September 29, 2022 to take stock of the situation. The Beninese Red Cross, a member of this platform, took part in this session as an active member. As a result of this session, a series of feasible recommendations were agreed upon with partners and members to reduce exposure to flooding and assist affected families, including rapid assessment of the situation followed by actions to relocate communities affected by flooding and in dire need of immediate assistance. This situation has placed these areas on red alert and according to forecasts by the Meteorological Service, these areas could remain on red alert until November due to the continued intensification of rainfall until this period. Several meetings have been organized since September 29 at the local level where the Red Cross is present through its decentralized structures. It should be noted that some communes, including Zangnanado, one of the most vulnerable communes in Benin in terms of flooding, did not wait for the heavy rains before formulating a request for support to the Beninese Red Cross. In addition, seeing dangerously the rise of the rains with the damage that characterizes them, from September 30, the municipalities have addressed by formulating requests to the National Society to support the relocation in safe areas, families affected by floods and provide them with immediate assistance through a range of services including shelter, health services and basic needs, as well as ensure the prevention of diseases. Since September 29, 2022, a state of emergency has been announced in several municipalities by local authorities and by our local committees. |

Flood |
Central African Republic |
On the night of September 28, 2022, torrential rains fell on the city of Bangui and its surroundings. They led to an increase in the level of the Oubangui River, which overflowed its bed, causing flooding in the riparian areas of Arrondissements 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, Bimbo and Bégoua. This situation increases the vulnerability of the victims in these areas which were already affected during the successive floods suffered during the months of July and August 2022 and which left more than 21,700 people homeless across the country, and refugees in families of reception, schools and churches (OCHA, August 2022). The rains of September 28 added to this already significant balance sheet despite the mobilization of the actors on the ground whose actions started since the beginning of the flood season are running out of steam.
The impact of the floods that occurred on September 28 leaves a significant gap in assistance with many needs. The National Society's assessment reveals thousands of houses weakened by water, hundreds of latrines and wells damaged or destroyed by water. The losses of equipment and cultivable land are considerable as the normal harvest season approaches, which should begin in October. Twenty-two (22) injured were also recorded. Most of the victims are located in arrondissements 2, 3, 5 and 6 which are considered priority one zones by the Government. Monitoring of the towns of Paoua, Kouango and Bambari which were also hit by floods following heavy rainfall. They represent the localities most affected by the floods. The houses being either flooded or destroyed, the population moved to host families or schools. The density and frequency of rains to date and the continuity of precipitation in the coming weeks raise fears of a worsening of the situation. According to the seasonal calendar the rains should continue until the end of October (Source: SEASONAL CALENDAR FOR A TYPICAL YEAR, FEWS NET).
From National Society assessment, There are 24,758 people affected by the floods: 21,407 homeless people due to these successive floods, 4,281 households affected with 2,823 houses completely destroyed, 1,458 houses partially destroyed, 53 people injured, 02 loss of life. 2417 damaged family latrines, 1092 damaged and contaminated water wells, 05 broken bridges and all water pipes are clogged and overflowed. The situation is alarming, emergency aid to the victims of the disaster is essential. |

Epidemic |
Haiti |
After more than three years without a single cholera case, as of 2 October, Haitian authorities have confirmed two cases and identified several other suspected cases across several communes in the Ouest department, including the
Port-au-Prince metropolitan area and Cité Soleil. The deadly illness has resurfaced as the country continues to be paralyzed by gang blockades that have triggered severe shortages of fuel, safe drinking water and limited access to health services across the country.
Access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation services are critical for preventing the spread of cholera, raising
serious concerns about containing the spread of the infection as heightened insecurity and mobility challenges
increasingly limit access to both for most Haitians. Additionally, restricted access to affected areas creates challenges for the surveillance and timely assessment of the epidemiological situation while fuel shortages could affect the shipment of biological samples from health facilities to reference laboratories, creating an extra layer of complexity for prevention and response efforts.

Complex Emergency |
Tajikistan |
On September 14, 2022 the security situation in the border between Batken Oblast of Kyrgyzstan and Soghd Oblast of Tajikistan rapidly deteriorated. The tension turned into armed conflict, resulting in 41 casualties and evacuation of over 20,000 thousand people (Isfara 15,850 persons, B. Gafurov 1,962 persons and in Lakhsh district of Rasht valley is 2,500 persons) residing the border areas. The Government of both countries immediately started negotiation to establish a cease fire regime, however, the clashes continued until September 16, increasing the number of casualties and internally displaced people (IDP) from both sides. As of 18 September, full ceasefire was established and IDP from J. Rasulov district, which is considered relatively safe, started returning home. Displaced people in Isfara and B. Gafurov still remain in temporary shelters. On 19 September 2022, the protocol/agreement was signed between law enforcement authorities of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, which declares withdrawal of the troops from the border and keep only border forces. Also, it was agreed to continue negotiation to resolve the border disputes.
There were a number of clashes in the past in the same border areas. As per NS statistics, since January 2022, at least 7 cases of tensions of different level were recorded. The Tajikistan NS has experience in responding to these type of events. In particular, NS supported with provision of psychosocial support, distribution of foods parcels, UXO information sessions and provision of CVA for the affected people.

Tropical Cyclone |
Cuba |
In Jamaica, Ian moved south of the island, producing around three to six inches of rainfall, storm surge and swells that affected coastal communities. While the tropical storm watch for Jamaica was lifted as Ian veered away from the island, a flash flood warning across several parishes remained in effect until the morning hours of 26 September, with localized flooding in some parishes, such as Clarendon, prompting the activation of emergency shelters.
In the Cayman Islands, Ian moved south-west of the islands as a Category 1 Hurricane, prompting road and dock closures as debris generated from flooding blocked access points. Power outages and disruption to water systems were reported, however, as of 27 September, electricity and water have been close to fully restored. Ian's rapidly changing track posed challenges for preparedness and response operations in the territory, with preliminary assessments showing relatively minor flood-related impacts, especially in low-lying coastal areas.
On 26 September at 7:00 pm EST, Ian made direct landfall in Pinar Del Río province, battering large swaths of western Cuba as a powerful Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 185 km/h. Six western provinces have been affected and more than 61,000 people have been evacuated from high-risk areas. As per WFP-ADAM, close to 600,000 people were exposed to wind speeds of 120 Km/h or higher. According to local and international media outlets, Pinar del Río, the westernmost province of Cuba, bore the brunt of Ian's wrath, with significant damage reported across the province. As of 27 September, Ian has reportedly left at least two people dead and thousands without electricity. In La Habana, one of the six provinces under a hurricane alert, moderate rainfall and strong wind gusts have left several areas in the island's capital of the same name without power.

US president Joe Biden declared a disaster in Florida and pledged federal support after Hurricane Ian churned through the state, causing widespread damage and leaving millions of residents without power.
More than 2.6mn utility customers were estimated to have lost electricity as emergency crews began to assess destruction from the storm, which made landfall on Florida's south-west coast on Wednesday with maximum sustained winds of 150mph, before crossing the peninsula and reaching the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday.
High-speed winds, destructive waves and a storm surge of up to 18ft left debris strewn across neighborhoods, knocked down houses, trapped people inside buildings and forced businesses and airports to close. |

Volcano |
Comoros |
On 15 July 2022, abnormal activity of the Karthala volcano in the Comoros was recorded by the Karthala Volcano Observatory (KVO), which manifested itself as persistent microseisms on the western flank of the island of Ngazidja. Regular observation of the volcano's activities has been initiated by the observatory with regular reports of continued seismic activity. Considering this worrying information transmitted by the Karthala observatory and according to the National Emergency Plan related to Karthala's activities in the country, the Minister of Interior in charge of security launched the yellow alert on 17 August 2022. The country was thus entering the phase of volcanic vigilance.
On 22 August, the Directorate of Civil Security convened the first information meeting of all risk and disaster management actors, including the Comoros Red Crescent, to discuss the immediate actions to be taken following the alert.
In the Fixed Command Post meeting on 5 September, the Karthala Volcano Observatory showed that the evolution of the volcano is worrying as the seismic movements have decreased and the magma pockets have gone from 12km deep to 1.5km and insisted on vigilance as the magma can move quickly to the surface which can surprise everyone if there is no preparation now. The KVO experts have shown that the reaction of the Karthala volcano can be unpredictable. According to their analysis, this means that there is very little control and certainty over whether the orange or red phase is triggered. This level of volcanic alert may therefore last for days, or weeks or even a year but can also return to a normal situation. The nature of the eruption is not known in advance, but several risks are already identified by the KVO based on current observations and historical data |

Congo, Republic |
n 14 September 2022, the Ministry of Humanitarian Action of the Congo requested the support of the Congolese government's partners to support the response to the population movements observed in N'gabe, following community violence in the Kwamunthu territory in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since 24 August 2022, some villages in the territory of Kwamunthu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, neighbouring the district of N'gabé in the Republic of Congo, have been affected by inter-ethnic conflicts between the Batékés, the Bayakas and the Ngombé. A large number of the DRC populations belonging to the different ethnic groups affected by this conflict have been forced to cross the Congo River to take refuge in various localities in the department of Pool-Nord in the district of N'gabé in its nine villages. They found refuge in the villages on the right bank upstream of the Congo River on the DRC side, forcing the displaced populations to return to the left bank of the Congo River on the Republic of Congo side (Ngabé). This conflict has caused the displacement of 1,700 people and the destruction of several houses, representing, as of the date of receipt of the report received from the government (14 September), 340 households without shelter and 1,700 people (340 households) affected and vulnerable received by the political-administrative authorities of Ngabé and many others in host families in some villages of N'gabé, including Sedeck, Ngobila and Mossengajoko 1. These 340 households have already been registered by the UNHCR. |
