Nepal SURE programme The Strengthening Urban Resilience and Engagement ( SURE ) programme is a five-year DFID-funded multi-hazard urban risk reduction programme running from September 2016 until August 2021. Given emerging risks and hazard trends the programme continues engagement in the three districts of the Kathmandu valley and expanding further west into two additional districts. The programme aims to see increased action in target municipalities by citizens government and the Nepal Red Cross Society to reduce and respond to multi hazard risks increasing overall disaster resilience and enabling timely and effective response by the Nepal Red Cross Society.

Impact: Target municipalities have increased their disaster resilience and are supported by the Nepal Red Cross Society with timely and effective disaster response. Outcome: Targeted municipalities are increasingly taking action to reduce and respond to multi hazard risks through citizens government and the Nepal Red Cross Society. Output 1: Awareness and action in urban DRR for informed citizen voice and greater social accountability is increased enhancing DRR capacity in targeted municipalities. Output 2: DRR advocacy and support and strengthening of preparedness for response enhances the capacity of municipalities and is aligned to existing policies and structures. Output 3: NRCS is stronger and well organised in order to better respond to vulnerable communities and individuals.

BRC had already committed to supporting the MFC until June 2019 and have agreed to a no-cost-extension until August 2019. A case study is to be completed on Peer to Peer Model that formed part of this project. The HRC will increase its capacity to meet the needs of migrants living in urban centres by relocating and enhancing its existing multifunctional centre in Athens and establishing an additional multifunctional centre in Thessaloniki. This project focuses on the latter as the MFC in Athens will be supported by the Danish Red Cross (DRC). The MFC in Thessaloniki will provide migrants with a centrally located and accessible entry point to a range of Red Cross services designed to support the needs of the most vulnerable. Services available to migrants will include access to casework services that can provide up to date information and guidance assisted orientation delivered by trained volunteers language support psycho-social support services cash assistance and access to Restoring Family Links services. The centre where appropriate will also host a range of outreach services designed to meet the needs of migrants located in areas where there is a clearly identified lack of direct service provision.
Yemen RC DM strengthening Programme Objective: To strengthen the Disaster Management capacity of YRCS at the headquarters and branch level (four targeted branches) and simultaneously build the capacity of at-risk communities to be prepared for and able to respond to disasters. Outcome 1: YRCS has improved institutional Disaster Management (DM) capacities at national and branch levels as per Movement and sector standards Outcome 2: First aid services are available in target communities and schools Outcome 3: At-risk communities are aware of and taken action for disaster preparedness and response measures for resilience This programme is jointly funded by the British Red Cross and Swedish Red Cross (division of funding is clarified in log frame and budget). SRC and BRC supported DM capacity development of YRCS through the IFRC during 2017. A DM Capacity Assessment using the Well-Prepared National Society (WPNS) tool and exercise was carried out and based on the findings and recommendations of this the IFRC developed a Plan of Action (PoA) to set clear priorities and monitor progress moving forward. The YRCS DM CB programme started in April 2018 and a midterm review was conducted in June-July 2019. This led to a Re-Design and Learning Workshop held in Djibouti in August 2019 in which all stakeholders were present and engaged in the plans for the remainder of the programme. The result led to a revised PoA and budget agreed to by all partners to continue the programme until December 2019. Full details are provided in Annex 2: Project Proposal - YRCS DMCB Re-design and Learning Workshop Report. During this period IFRC will continue to support YRCS to complete the activities planned in the revised PoA to build and strengthen YRCS DM capacity. The project will have two approaches. The first is to build the capacity of headquarters and the four targeted branches Amran Dhamar Shabwa and Al Mahra; these branches are selected based on the vulnerability and type of hazard/disaster such as cyclone flood earthquake and forced displacement by conflict. The second is to address and build the capacity of the communities. The PoA is divided into three outcomes to achieve a holistic approach to enhance the DM capacity within the YRCS (HQ and branch level) and within at-risk communities as well as strengthening resilience measures within the communities.

Uganda population movement 2016 (South Sudan Crisis) A resurgence of violence in South Sudan in July 2016 has led to almost 200 000 fleeing into Uganda. Several new camps have been established to deal with the influx but these are struggling with a lack of water sanitation and health facilities. An outbreak of cholera in one camp in northern Uganda has led to widespread fears of further outbreaks especially during the rainy season (July - October). Uganda Red Cross have been tasked with providing water sanitation and other services at Bidibidi camp near Yumbe. IFRC have launched an appeal to support this.

Guatemala Volcanic Eruption 2018 The Fuego Volcano the most active volcano in Guatemala erupted on 3 June generating a column of ash lava and pyroclastic flows up to 10km from the crater. The eruption affected over 1.7 million people in Sacatepéquez Escuintla and Chimaltenango departments where national authorities declared the highest level of alert. At that time the authorities issued and evacuation order and some villages could be safely emptied to three emergency shelters. On Tuesday 5 June a new explosion was reported in Fuego volcano and further descent of pyroclastic lava flow led to new evacuations injured and casualties. A new lahar(volcanic mudflow) formed on 7 June which was descending through the valleys of Santa Teresa Mineral and Taniluya. At time of writing official figures are reporting 109 casualties 58 injured and some 197 people are still missing. Some 12 407 people have been evacuated and only 4 175 of the 12 407 evacuees have been relocated to 22 official and unofficial emergency collective centres which include churches schools cultural and sports centres and town halls in the departments of Escuintla Sacatepéquez Santa Rosa Guatemala and Suchitepéquez. Over 4 000 are living in emergency shelters. Urgent shelter health food and water sanitation and hygiene promotion (WASH) needs have been identified. The Fuego Volcano continues to be active and the flow of lahar is likely to continue in the coming days and could be aggravated by the ongoing and forecasted rainfalls which increase the risk of mudslides and landslides. Consequently the affected missing and casualty figures are likely to increase. Guatemala Red Cross is leading the response and have launched a domestic emergency appeal supported by the IFRC and numerous PNS from the wider movement. IFRC also launched an appeal on 11 June for CHF2m supporting 6 000 people for 12 months.
