DAMOT GALE CONTINGENCY PLAN PROMULGATION

The primary role of government is to provide for the welfare of its citizens. The welfare and safety of citizens is

never more threatened than during disasters. The goal of emergency management is to ensure that preparedness,

response, and early recovery actions exist so that public welfare and safety is preserved

The Damot gale Contingency Plan provides a comprehensive framework for wide emergency management. It

addresses the roles and responsibilities of government organizations of Damot gale as well as civil society and

humanitarian partners (including community, NGOs, private sectors, volunteers, voluntary organizations and

individuals). It also describes the resources that may be activated to address disasters and emergencies in Damot

gale.

The Damot gale Contingency Plan ensures consistency with Disaster Risk Management policy guidance and describes

the interrelationship with other levels of government (zonal, regional and federal level).

Therefore, in recognition of the emergency management responsibilities of Damot gale, government and with the

authority vested in me as the Woreda Administrator of Damot gale, I hereby promulgate the Damot gale Contingency

Plan.

HOW TO USE THE CONTINGENCY PLAN

I. BASIC PLAN

The Basic Plan provides the basic information of the Contingency Plan, the context situation/risk analysis and

an overview of the Woreda emergency management. The information contained will be applicable to the

operational response of any contingency and common for every Emergency Support Function.

I. PURPOSE & SCOPE

Purpose

It is the purpose of this Contingency Plan to define the actions and roles necessary to provide a coordinated

response within Damot gale Woreda. This plan provides guidance to the Woreda offices and stakeholders within

Damot gale with a general concept of potential emergency assignments before and during emergency situations.

It also provides with scenarios and preparation of emergency resources in case they need to be activated.

Scope

This plan applies to all participating governmental institutions and stakeholders of the administrative area

contained within the geographical boundary of Damot gale.

II. EMERGENCY COORDINATION

This section provides an overview of the main roles and responsibilities during an emergency and how the

Woreda organization accomplishes an emergency response.

Contingency Plan Activation:

The Woreda Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Committee (according National Policy DRM 1993)/Woreda DRM

Coordination Office (according revised DRM policy 2013), which will respond to the Woreda Administrator, will

activate the contingency plan based on sectorial offices information and Early Warning Information System &

Triggers.

The activation of the Contingency Plan will trigger the Specific Contingency Response and the Basic Plan.

Responsible for overall direction of the Emergency Response Activities:

The main responsible body is the Woreda administration. The main activities being undertaken by the Woreda

administration with regard to emergency response are to coordinate line departments, establish DRM task force

committee at Woreda level, assign duties to the committee and monitor performance, support the committee in

cases requiring administrative resolutions, call meeting of the task force, give direction for documentation and sign

on minutes of meeting, evaluate pre harvest and post-harvest assessment and early warning data together with

Woreda disaster prevention and preparedness office and report to the zonal administration and the ZDPPO on issues

concerning mainly but not limited to crops, livestock, water, health, education and market assessment findings based

on agreed up on indicators working closely with Woreda DPPO in all aspects.

If the disaster exceeds the capacity of the Woreda and any support is required, beneficiaries will be identified and

support will be requested and distributed accordingly.

Declaration at Woreda level:

The assessment of the existing situation will be conducted under the leadership of the Woreda taskforce and the

report will be submitted. Based on this recommendation from the Woreda, the federal team will visit the place of

the disaster. Accordingly the federal DPPC will declare the disaster as provided by the 1993 national DRM policy.

Coordination with other Weredas in the neighborhood depends on the size and nature of the disaster and direction

of community mobility. We exchange information with regard to the disaster under question, incoming or outgoing

population, extent and place of the damage and required supports. But this is very rare and its experience is very

immature. The new National DRM policy 2014 is not yet implemented and we still work with the previous policy of

1993 and guidelines attached with it.

Emergency Coordination Mechanisms/Process:

There exists Woreda taskforce established as provided in the National DRM Policy of the 1993. The sector offices

heads are members of the taskforce. Each sector assigns focal person to form technical committee. This technical

committee will conduct screening of target beneficiaries together with community representatives using inclusion

and exclusion criteria supplied in the standard formats. The screened targets will then be displayed for the

community’s verification and comment for final eligibility. It is only then that the household will be registered and

reported as a beneficiary. The report will be presented to the taskforce for decision after which the summary report

will be compiled by the Woreda disaster prevention and preparedness and signed by Woreda administration for

delivery to the zonal administration and zonal DPPO.

The Woreda administration and sector offices including WDPPO and WoFED, conduct meeting and assign focal

persons. This makes command post which will overtake responsibility for every activity with regard to the disaster

response down at the community level and report to the Woreda taskforce. The command post conduct assessments,

identify targets for the relief work, and lead the relief distribution and make a follow up. Then, they report to the

Woreda task force for verification and transfer to the next higher level.

The community level taskforce is composed of DAs, HEWs, School director, representatives of the women & children‘s

and youth associations, kebele manager, and three elders from respective community chaired by kebele Chairman.

The manager of the kebele assumes secretary role. This taskforce has the duty of screening, distributing, and

reporting activities according to the federal DPPC format provided by the WDPPO. There is strong link and

cooperation with the WDPPO who collects early warning data and process the information for weekly and monthly

reporting.

The primary effort of the local administration shall be made in order to support or strengthen communities to deal

with emergencies effectively because kebeles are the first government institutions to respond to hazards at local

levels. Woreda Offices will encourage and provide technical support to communities to establish local self-help,

community support mechanisms or community funds mobilization mechanisms. Beyond the tasks related to

identification of target beneficiaries and support with distribution of relief aids, as explained above, no community

level sources of fund prepared ahead of time or during the disaster response known to exist. Therefore, according

to the national policy of 1993, the Woreda taskforce is the coordinating organ for the emergency support functions

in Damot gale Woreda.

III. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT

This section describes the required critical or essential information and communication common to all emergency

operations identified during the contingency planning process.

Woreda Disaster Risk Profile

Damot gale has a disaster risk profile where people from the community, kebeles, Woreda staff and

stakeholders have participated in the process of profiling. Every sectorial office and stakeholder in the

Woreda should have the Woreda Disaster Risk Profile. Woreda Disaster Risk profile (WDRP) is available in

the Woreda Administration /the Damot gale Woreda DRMO. Also available in: http://profile.dppc.gov.et/

Early Warning System

The DPPO Office collects Early Warning Information from every Woreda sectorial office and send on weekly and

monthly basis.

Also, this Early Warning Information will be analyzed and if any Early Warning Indicator is found to exceed the triggers

established in the scenario of this specific contingency, response of this contingency plan will be activated by the

appropriate Emergency Support Functions.

Needs Assessment

The mechanism used for information collection, analysis and dissemination for the needs assessment at

the beginning of an emergency is government structures at kebele level together with kebele level

emergency response task force. The affected community members are also involved in the data collection

as a source of information. They report the assessment data to the Woreda based on which the technical

committee from Every Sectorial Office shall initiate rapid area assessments, makes preliminary estimates

of affected populations, losses of lives and property, identify priority needs and report the findings. The

Woreda taskforce which is accountable to the Woreda administration uses the data to review the

contingency plan as per prevailing conditions. Based on the findings, requests will be compiled and sent

to the zone. Every Sectorial Office shall initiate rapid area assessments, make preliminary estimates of

affected populations, losses of lives and property, identify priority needs, and review the contingency plan

as per prevailing conditions.

Needs of vulnerable groups (children, individual with disabilities, age or gender issues…)

The emergency needs assessment should collect and analyze disaggregated data information by sex, age

and other indicators of potential vulnerabilities.

Every Emergency Support Function must consider in its response the needs of the most vulnerable groups.

As to Damot gale Woreda children, pregnant and lactating mothers are given priority for supplementary

food on distribution. Disabled persons are also considered in the ration distribution.

Alert and Warning

Awareness creation activities will be conducted in the community with regard to impending disaster will

be given to help the community conserve and save available resources as a preparation phase. Meeting

and manuals are used as tools in the process. Any one assigned from the Woreda to compute this issue is

the responsible body and works closely with the kebele chairman. Messages are transmitted by telephone

and in person. All kebeles are accessible in our case and no information gap exists.

Historical Record of the emergency

Every Sectorial Office [DRM Unit according the draft of new DRM policy] must document the effects from

the impact of any hazard event and also the actions taken during the response to and early recovery

phases. This information will serve to create historical record which, improve future response, recover

costs, address insurance needs, develop mitigation strategies, etc

After-Action Report (AAR)

After the historical record every sectorial office should produce a report called After-Action Report to

summarize the lesson learnt of last disaster, evaluating the contingency plan, identifying the strength and

weakness during the emergency management, and designing initiatives or actions to improve the readiness

for likely disasters. The After-Action Report will be very important in order to update the Woreda

Contingency Plan. The current practice in Damot gale Woreda in this regard is only routine weekly and

monthly reports and whenever there is distribution of relief support, the activity report will be produced

monthly or quarterly.

IV. FINANCE AND LOGISTICS REQUIREMENTS

This section describes the possible emergency financial sources and the logistics and resource management

mechanisms used to identify and acquire resources in advance of and during emergency operations,

especially to overcome gaps possibly identified in the Woreda capacity.

Contingency budget/reserves:

Damot gale Woreda has no contingency funds allocated specifically for emergency response. In the case

of safety net program, currently the program has 5% contingency budget at Woreda level and the Woreda

can use that much amount of resources from the PSNP and in case if the shock cannot be absorbed within

that limit then they can also ask the region for the release of 15% contingency budget which will be kept

at regional level. More over if things get worse there is also risk financing program in which the region will

kept budget for it

Resources Identification methods:

Required resources are identified by the technical committee and verified by Woreda command post. This

then be directed to the Woreda DPPO and technical committee to prepare the request. The organized

request will then be signed by Woreda administration head or delegate and submitted to next higher level.

Resources allocation:

Sectorial Offices [DRM Unit according the draft of new DRM policy] shall ensure the rapid supply of relief

materials to affected areas.

Resources Inventory:

Emergency support functions have a resource inventory but not enough.

V. MONITORING AND UPDATING

This section describes the process used to monitor and update the Contingency Plan

Monitor and Follow-up Mechanism:

Every Emergency Support Function should implement preparedness activities identified and analyze Early

Warning Information. When triggers are reached, ESF response activities and emergency coordination

mechanisms must be implemented.

[According National Policy DPM 1993] The Woreda DRM Committee is monitoring all activities related to

the relief needs and responses in the Woreda.

Exercise the plan:

As indicated in the 1993 national DRM policy, , the WDRMO office, in coordination with the sectorial

offices, should exercise the contingency plan before any hazard event can happen through simulation or

table top exercises, considering the annual seasonal calendar and the possible scenarios.

Plan updating:

Every sector is responsible of the updating of their responsibilities and information and the DPPO office is

in charge of collect, organize and update those changes in the contingency plan. After every update, the

updated plan will be distributed to every actor involved.

The Plans need to be updated on a regular basis to reflect changing circumstances, based on:

•

Early Warning Information

•

Simulation Exercises

•

Actual Responses (Based on Historical emergency record and the After-action report)

VI. LEGAL BASIS, MINIMUM HUMANITARIAN STANDARDS AND REFERENCES

SHORT NARRATIVE ON MAJOR DISASTERS:

Crop pest and disease is the major disaster caused by erratic rain fall and climate change which affect crop production and productivity in the area. Drought is the other major disaster

caused by deforestation, high population density, climate change, high temperature and dalliance and irregular rain fall pattern results in crop damage, illness, hunger, shortage of

pasture and feeds, loss of livestock weight, prevalence of disease, school dropout, yield reduction, loss of income and assets in the area. Besides livestock disease such as

Trypanosomiasis, Black leg, Foot and mouth disease and Anthrax affecting cattle are also a major disease which are caused by drought, lack of pasture and water and climate change

which results in death, poor body condition and loss of assets. Flooding which is also caused by lack of water shed management and irregular rain fall which results in damaged crops,

damaged livestock, physical properties and prevalence of disease in the wereda. Human disease such as malaria, chronic fever and head ache are also the major disaster caused by

erratic rain fall, sanitation problem and constraints to adequate health care which results in illness and death of household members, high cost for treatment and economic crises in the

community.

Accessibility:

 Access to road and urban center: 55% of the households reported either there is no road or dirty road that is difficult for car. The average time taken

to reach the nearest paved road in the woreda is 30 minutes and the average time to reach the nearest urban canter is 1 hours and 2minutes.

 Accesses to electricity: Of the household surveyed 13% are located in the community with electricity and half of the community located with

electricity 5% are actually connected to electric power.

 Access to veterinary facility: 65% and 64% of the households reported poor and very poor access to veterinary service and livestock drugs

respectively.

 Access to market: is generally reported to be good in almost all kebeles.

 Access to water and sanitation: Most of the households (97%) use water for drinking from communal tap (bono) and river and stream, where 87% of

them use other methods for treating water. Out of the surveyed households 96% of them have outdoors latrine/hole on plot, 2% have no toilet

facilities in the house and 1% of them are sharing toilets.

 Access to credit: ‐ 75% of the surveyed households reported using credit service mainly from bank or formal lending institute and from

friends/relatives mainly to buy food (55%), to buy agricultural input (18%), and pay for health care (10%).

 Access to agricultural inputs: access to fertilizer and pesticides is good 81% and 87% of households reported using both chemical and natural fertilizer

and pesticides respectively. Also access to extension services is good; where 97% of the households reported obtaining the service and 98% of them

also have access to improved seed.

Level of Awareness and Institutional Development

 Literacy level The proportion of literate population above 7 years old is 23.16% out of which 30%

completed below 1st grade level, 44% and 23% of the population completed primary and secondary school

respectively. With regard to gender parity in education, proportion of female students is higher than male

students in completing 1st grade level, but dominated by male students in all other education levels. Of the

total households surveyed, 13.30% of them are female-headed households.

 Community awareness about disaster risk management system and actors Is generally reported to

be less effective due to budget constraint and insufficient supply of agricultural inputs. There are

COMMUNITY CAPACITY TO COPE

 Major coping mechanisms are: sell more livestock than usual, consumption rather than sale of crop surplus and Limit portion size of meals.

 In the events of more resource available 56% of the households adopted economic activities to hazards season (e.g. cropping cycle, short term

crops, etc.) And 43% Storage of food and other necessities.

 In the wereda it is reported that 56.46% of the household have managed to recover from losses of disasters affected.

 During disaster 77% of the households are able to raise Birr 500.00 in one week through borrowing money, savings, by selling asset or livestock

and perhaps but doubt.

 The social capital in the wereda is cooperation among the community in the wereda but in most of the kebeles this habit is

decreasing from time to time due to economic hard ship.

 Crop and Livestock diversity: The most commonly grown crops in the woreda are sorghum, maize, barley, wheat, teff, haricot bean, peas and

potato. The major types of livestock reared in the wereda are cattle, shoats, equines, donkey (for transporting goods) and poultry for food and

income.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

It is the process of estimating the susceptibility of different elements at risk to various hazards and of analyzing the causes behind their vulnerability.

There are many aspects of vulnerability (physical, social, economic, and environmental factors) and the vulnerability varies significantly within a

community and over time. This information will serve the sectorial offices to identify which sectorial interventions can reduce the vulnerability of the

different elements of the community and in which they needed to dedicate.
