Emergency:
Serbia - Floods Date of Emergency:
April 2006 Implementing
Partner: Philanthropy – Charitable Fund of the Serbian Orthodox Church
Details of
the Emergency: The rivers Danube, Sava, Tamis and Tisa are flooding
northern parts of Serbia (Vojvodina province). The floods are threatening
thousands of people, destroying property and livestock. 200,000 hectares
are currently under water, and the Serbian Red Cross estimates that
more than 7,000 families have been affected by landslides or floods
in 30 municipalities. The government is estimating the damage at 45
- 50 million USD. Water supplies
in Serbia have significantly deteriorated due to the floods and land
slides. Low quality and shortage of drinking water increasingly affects
people in smaller towns and rural areas and, to a lesser extent, those
of the major urban centres. It is expected for this situation to last
at least until the end of the summer/ early fall 2006. There is also
a danger of the increase of water related and water-borne diseases.
According to the
information provided by the Crisis Management Team of the Government
of Serbia, the emergency response is the most needed in the villages
in the Banat region, Northeast of the Republic of Serbia, Vojvodina
province. Proposed assistance:
Water drainage, water purification (provision of potable water) and
distribution of sanitation/ disinfection kits in villages in the Banat
region. The overall aim
of this project is to contribute to the improvement of the general
well-being of the local population/community through the provision
of sufficient quantities of potable water during the crisis period,
and by draining water from houses. In addition, Philanthropy estimates
that at least 500 packages of hygiene and disinfection products should
be distributed as an emergency assistance to the local population.
Philanthropy has
significant experience and equipment to deal with water purification,
in particular in emergency situations. The equipment consists of the
Water Purification Unit (WPU) on a trailer, and the vehicle (4WD Land
Rover) for transportation of the WPU. Philanthropy’s experienced Water
Purification Team (WPT) has two members: one engineer who is trained
and licensed for the usage and maintenance of the WPU by the Danish
Church Aid and JOSAB, and one logistics officer who is experienced
in the usage of the WPU and related logistics. The proposed project
intends to provide drinking water for the vulnerable population, by
using the Water Purification Unit (WPU). The WPU has a capacity of
6,000 lit/hour. It is also planned to drain dirty water from most
vulnerable areas, and to provide hygiene and disinfection packages
to the families in need. Implementation
Period: Implementation period is planned to last at least for
3 months: May – July 2006. The application for the Rapid Response
Funds are forwarded with the hope to receive funds for an initial
intervention. At this stage it is not fully clear whether a proper
appeal will be forwarded to ACT. The situation on the ground is being
followed closely and contact with the other ACT partners has been
established.
