RRM emergency flood-response preparedness activities for IDPs and vulnerable host communities in Hajjah, AlHodaidah, AlJawf, Taizz, Marib, Sa'adah under pillar 2, 1RA 2023 ltpgtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtThe raindrop in Hajjah, AlHodaidah, AlJawf, Taizz,
Marib, Sa'dah have exacerbated the vulnerability of the population and the interruption
of basic services. Many of those who have been
displaced, lack access to basic services and are vulnerable to a variety of
protection issues. lt/spangtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtThe displacement trends are expected to worsen the situation -
building on the RRM experience in responding to the floods in 2022.  lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgt

line-height:normal"gtltspan style="font-family:"gtAlthough the 2022 RRM responses have
seen a significant drop in the displacement trends, IDP continue to flee flood affected areas. The affected
populations are more vulnerable as a result of sudden displacement, where the
people are already in a precarious situation as a result of the crisis including climate change. Women and children are particularly vulnerable. As families are
uprooted suddenly from their homes with no time to pick anything, the most
critical immediate needs of the displaced persons are usually food and basic
personal items needed for their hygiene and dignity. As fully-fledged emergency
response actions through the clusters are being organized, there was an obvious
need to provide an immediate life-saving response to newly displaced families
based on lessons learned from the ongoing response. During this time,
preliminary information on the affected populations and baseline conditions are
gathered and clarified. To meet this need, the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM)
was activated as a first responder (line of response) until other clusters'
humanitarian response could take effect. lt/spangtOCHA estimated 0.5 mln people will be
affected by the rainy floods in 2023 across Yemen. This will put additional
pressure on the already overstretched resources. The funding from this project
will meet the needs of these newly displaced people. lt/pgt

costs for utilizing a pre stocks (procured under the previous allocation in
addition to a procurement of 6,023 RRM kits to serve the UN floods
anticipatory action preparedness plan and estimated caseload), it will also
support distribution of life-saving assistance, to those displaced
because of climate change. This will be accomplished through pre-positioning,
timely delivery of kits, and assistance to distribution partners with a
focus on priority locations under this 1ltsupgtst lt/supgtRA for 2023: Marib,
Taizz, AlJawf, Hodaidah, Sa'adah. Within 72 hours of receiving the notice of
displacement, this will ensure an immediate and effective response to those who
have recently been displaced. lt/spangtThe project will strive to support
newly displaced people enroll in climate change crises or hosting IDPs fleeing
the floods while meeting the RRM aid-eligibility criteria. The enrollment will
enable newly displaced people to be registered in a timely manner. This will
result in much faster RRM distribution and overall emergency response by other
clusters, in accordance with its articulated objectives. It will also reduce
enrollment layers by providing high-quality data.lt/pgt
