FloodScan: Near Real-Time and Historical Flood Mapping

FloodScan uses satellite data to map and monitor floods daily, helping compare current flood conditions with historical averages. This dataset contains two resources:   
  
 The first (hdx_floodscan_zonal_stats.xlsx) is a daily tabular dataset providing average FloodScan Standard Flood Extent Depiction (SFED) flood fraction (0-100%) per admin 1  and 2 level. Historical baseline values (SFED_BASELINE) are calculated per day-of-year from the last 10 years of historical data (non-inclusive of current year) after applying an 11 day smoothing mean window. Return Period (RP) is calculated empirically based on all historical data up to the current year (non-inclusive).   
  
 The second resource (aer_floodscan_300s_SFED_90d.zip) is a zipped file containing AER FloodScan estimated daily flood fraction (0-100%) gridded data at approximately 10 km resolution (300 arcseconds equivalent to approximately 0.083 degrees) for the last 90 days. Each file represents the estimates for a single day and includes 2 bands: SFED and SFED_BASELINE. The baseline band provides users an easy way to compare current values with historical averages. The baseline is calculated per day-of-year from the last 10 years of historical data (non-inclusive of current year) after applying an 11 day temporal smoothing mean window.

Kenya - Socio-economic assessment of refugees in Kenya's Kakuma camp 2015

Kakuma Refugee Camp is one of the longest-standing humanitarian settlements in sub-Saharan Africa and one of the largest refugee camps in the world. In response to recent reductions in funding for the Kenyan refugee operation, increased global competition for funds, and a common belief that not all refugees in such protracted situations have the same humanitarian assistance needs, UNHCR and WFP decided to undertake a study among refugees in Kakuma Camp. The main aims were to fill knowledge gaps regarding refugee livelihoods and the level and differences of vulnerability in refugee households, as well as to explore the feasibility of delivering more differentiated assistance and to identify the mechanisms that would need to be put in place to do so. Specifically, the study was meant to determine whether a permanent targeting mechanism could be put in place or whether other ways of prioritising assistance exist when resources are tight. The survey covered 2,000 households and was implemented in November/December 2015.

Ethiopia - Standardized Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) in Melkadida Refugee Camps - 2018

Dollo Ado district hosts Somali refugees in five refugee camps of Melkadida; Bokolmanyo, Melkadida, Kobe, Hilaweyn and Buramino. The first camp, Bokolmanyo was opened in Oct 2009 and followed Melkadida in 2010. In 2011, there was a major influx as a result of insecurity in Somalia, resulting in the establishment of Kobe, Hilaweyn, and Buramino camps in June 2011, August 2011 and November 2012 respectively. Refugees continue to arrive in small numbers since 2011. On 31 March 2018 (source: UNHCR ProGres) the total population is 217,494 with 21,010 under-five children. A joint UNHCR, WFP, ARRA, IMC and Humedica Standardized Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) was carried out in the five Somali refugee’s camps in Melkadida/Dollo Ado refugee camps from 20th March to 24th April 2018, with the main objective to assess the general health and nutrition status of refugees, and formulate workable recommendations for appropriate nutritional and public health interventions. A total of 1801 households were sampled.

Burkina Faso - Socio-economic assessment of Malian refugees - 2016

As a consequence of the armed conflict in the Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu regions of Mali, an estimated 32,000 Malian refugees have settled in Burkina Faso. Since 2012, UNHCR has been providing protection and assistance to these Malian refugees through multisectoral interventions. In order to assess the levels of vulnerability among these refugees and to identify potential opportunities for increasing their resilience, a quantitative survey was conducted among 6,775 Malian refugee households during April/May 2016.

Cameroon - Socio-economic assessement of Central African refugees in Cameroon's Adamanou, Eastern and Northern regions 2016

Due to persistent instability in the region, Cameroon hosts refugees and asylum seekers from neighboring countries, mainly from the Central African Republic and Nigeria. In 2015, nearly 259,000 Central African refugees arrived in Cameroon, of whom the vast majority settled in the Northern, Eastern and Adamaoua regions. Within these regions, the study identified 11 subsistence zones, of which the 5 zones with the highest refugee concentration were surveyed, in order to inform UNHCR's Livelihoods Strategy 2017-2020 targeting these refugees and to provide a baseline against which to measure the success of its implementation. The survey was conducted among 2,206 refugee households in November 2016.

Bangladesh - Multi Sector Needs Assessment: Cox’s Bazar, Rohingya Refugee Response – July 2018

An estimated 723,000 Rohingya refugees have fled violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state since August 25, 2017. Most of the newly-arrived refugees rely on humanitarian assistance, having left with few possessions and exhausted their financial resources during the journey. The monsoon season began in May and continues into September, threatening the vast majority of refugees living in makeshift shelters and settlements highly vulnerable to floods and landsides. To understand the priority needs of the refugees, a Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA), comissioned by UNHCR and with technical support from REACH, was conducted at the household level in 31 refugee sites (3,171 households were surveyed). Translators Without Borders supported in questionnaire translation and enumerator training.  This survey identified a number of areas where the basic needs of Rohingya refugees are being met.  At the same time, this assessment has identified continuing service gaps in the Rohingya response.  For example, the majority of households do not believe there is enough light at night to safely access latrines, and WASH facilities are generally perceived as dangerous areas for girls under age 18. In terms of access to protection services, only a small number of households report members making use of children and women friendly spaces. Despite widespread distribution coverage of key non-food items such as kitchen sets, demand for these items remains high, and refugees are spending the greatest portion of their limited financial resources on basic items including food, clothing and fuel. Findings suggest that there are uncertainties around actions to prepare for cyclones. The mahjis remain almost the sole focal point for communication and complaints with refugees, reflecting their continued prominent position within refugee communities. Finally, the median household debt is twice the median household income for the 30 days prior to data collection, with only two-fifths of households reporting any source of income at all.

Bangladesh - Multi Sector Needs Assessment: Cox’s Bazar, Rohingya Refugee Response - January 2019

An estimated 738,000 Rohingya refugees have fled violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state since August 25, 2017. Most of the refugees rely on humanitarian assistance, having left with few possessions and exhausted their financial resources on the journey. The cyclone and monsoon seasons, stretching from May to October, further threatened the living conditions of the vast majority of refugees living who are in makeshift shelters and settlements highly vulnerable to floods and landsides.

To understand the evolving priority needs of the refugees, and to understand change over time, this Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA), coordinated by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and with technical support from REACH, was conducted in 33 refugee sites using a household survey methodology  (3,165 households were surveyed). It is a follow up assessment to MSNA I in July 2018.

Results of this MSNA are generalizable to the camp level with 95% confidence level and 10% margin of error. Support for questionnaire translation and enumerator language training was provided by Translators Without Borders.
