In early September 2013, monitoring stations picked up increasing volcanic and tectonic tremors. Subdued volcanic activity continued for almost a month before Mt Sinabung eruptions intensified again in mid-October triggering evacuations of nearby communities. Intensified activity and an eruption on 24 Nov prompted the Government to increase the volcano’s alert status to Level 4, the highest alert level, and to evacuate all communities within a 5km radius of

- the crater. As of the end of November, 17,030 people had been evacuated. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/report/indonesia/indonesia-humanitarian-bulletin-issue-05-september-november-2013&quot;&gt;OCHA, 31 Nov 2013&lt;/a&gt;)

- An earthquake that struck Sipí in Colombia&#039;s western Chocó department on 4 Jan 2014 damaged 121 homes in the municipality. Two days later, on 6 Jan, the San Agustín and Garrapatas overflowed in the same area, possibly related to the earlier earthquake. The flooding affected almost 9,000 people and heavily damaged at least 150 homes, which are at risk of additional flooding and need to be relocated. Health, water and hygiene and education infrastructure sustained heavy damage as well. Ongoing armed conflict in the region makes humanitarian access difficult. A Multi-Cluster Initial Rapid Assessment mission is planned for 21 Jan.

+ &lt;p&gt;Calbuco volcano, located in the province of Llanquihue, state of Los Lagos, southern Chile, erupted on 22 Apr 2015. Seismic activity had increased during only approximately one hour before the explosion. Volcanic ash reached a height greater than 15 km and the pyroclastic dispersal has mainly been east-northeast of the volcano, according to Chilean authorities. A Red Alert for aviation was issued and the airport of Puerto Montt suspended all flights. Navigation also seized in lakes Lianquihui, Todos los Santos and Chapo. In the province of Llanquihue and the municipality of Puerto Octay, a State of Constitutional Exception has been announced. A 20 km evacuation zone has been enforced around the erupted crater and shelters have been prepared in Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas, Puerto Octay and Cochamo. Over 4 000 evacuees have already been reported, mostly from the community of Ensenada. The last significant eruption of the same volcano was in 1961. Calbuco had been inactive since 1972 but is considered dangerous due to its destruction potential. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/node/952836&quot;&gt;ECHO, 23 Apr 2015&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

- Tropical Cyclone Ian passed east of Tonga&#039;s Vava’u group (population 15,000) in the morning of 11 Jan 2014 before the eye passed directly over Ha&#039;apai (population 6,600) in the afternoon. The Prime Minister declared a state of emergency for Vava’u and Ha’apai the same day. There was one confirmed death, 14 injuries, and extensive damage to houses, infrastructure and agriculture across the northeast islands of Ha’apai. Over 50 per cent of the 1,130 affected buildings in Ha’apai were destroyed, with 34 per cent suffering major damage. Around 2,335 people sought shelter in 51 formal and informal shelters. On 21 Jan, the Government accepted international assistance from the Pacific Humanitarian Team.

- The Government of Tonga developed a &lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/report/tonga/tropical-cyclone-ian-response-plan&quot;&gt;Response Plan&lt;/a&gt; with its humanitarian and development partners with a three month time frame. Based on the needs identified, priority areas of the response are in shelter, water, food security, education and safety and protection. The plan aims to facilitate coordination of the humanitarian response and early recovery by documenting cluster response plans and identifying gaps/requirements for response. The immediate requirements over the next three months are TOP 28.4 million of which TOP 23.7 million remains unmet. The total requirements over the next 12-18 months including immediate, recovery and initial reconstruction needs identified are TOP 90.2 million of which TOP 83.4 million remains unmet.

Falling ash affected the population living on the volcano&#039;s western side, where 2,300 people were relocated to 16 collective centers set up by the authorities while an unknown number moved to homes of relatives living in safe areas. Ash and gas emissions continue, and authorities will consider it a risk situation until sulfur dioxide emissions show a significant and sustained decrease.

143
+ &lt;p&gt;Starting on 15 Apr 2015, heavy downpour affected many parts of the Juba and Shabelle River basins both in Somalia and in the Ethiopian Highlands. Flash floods have been reported in some areas including Belet Weyne and Mogadishu. Following the heavy rains, the river levels have increased drastically in the upper reaches of the two rivers. This high river level is expected to translate into high levels downstream thus endangering vulnerable communities in Somalia. The rainfall forecast for the next seven days (18-24th Apr) is pointing towards moderate to heavy rains within the Ethiopian highlands and inside Somalia. Observed river levels along the Juba and Shabelle Rivers are expected to continue rising further in the coming week following the foreseen heavy rains. There is therefore high risk of flooding in the coming few days in the lower reaches Shabelle rivers given the current situation and the foreseen rains.

- Severe rains and high winds due to a low level trough system caused floods and landslides in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia and Dominica from 23-25 Dec 2013. St. Vincent and the Grenadines reported nine deaths and over five hundred persons affected, of which 237 were provided with emergency shelter. According to preliminary reports from initial assessments 30 homes were destroyed and a further 135 damaged. Assessments are on-going and these numbers are expected to increase. The Government declared a level two disaster. A level two disaster is declared when the damage is severe and for which local resources and response capacity are limited and specialized external assistance is requested. In Saint Lucia, six people were killed, and Dominica reported 185 people affected.

+ &lt;p&gt;Heavy rainfall over the weekend of 4-5 Apr 2015 affected almost 9,000 families in Haiti: 8,413 families in the West department (89 per cent in Cité Soleil and 8 per cent in Tabarre) and 449 families in Grande Anse. Six people died in flooding in Port-au-Prince, including five children. A total of 8,770 houses were flooded (85 per cent in Cité Soleil) and 62 destroyed (46 in Delmas and 16 in Grande Anse). 245 families evacuated spontaneously (mainly in Delmas and Tabarre). The main reasons for the damage caused are the lack of cleaning of drainage canals and unplanned construction in the ravines. Distribution of food and non-food items for the affected families and cleaning of the drainage system and ravines are the most urgent actions to be undertaken. The Civil Protection Department is mobilizing existing contingency stocks of partners (mainly NGOs and UN) and coordinating the response with the help of OCHA. No official request for additional assistance has been made so far by the Haitian government. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/node/930141&quot;&gt;ECHO, 8 Apr 2015&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

No official request for additional assistance has been made so far by the Haitian government. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/node/930141&quot;&gt;ECHO, 8 Apr 2015&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

+ &lt;p&gt;On 29 Mar 2015, heavy rains caused floods and landslides in Muhuta, a commune of Bujumbura Rural Province, in Western Burundi on the edge of Lake Tanganyika, destroying 349 houses, a health center and two schools. The displaced population found refuge in the houses of their relatives and neighbors, which put the limited resources of the hosting population under high pressure. The areas where they used to live, as well as the common areas, are entirely covered by stones and mud. The affected population belong to very poor villages from one of the most vulnerable area of the cholera belt. Two bridges were also destroyed together with 5 km of the national road number 5 between Bujumbura and Rumonge. Heavy rocks, weighing up to 2 tonnes each, are currently blocking the roads and therefore preventing all commercial activities for the affected population.

316
+ &lt;p&gt;Typhoon Maysak made landfall on Micronesia&amp;#39;s Chuuk islands on 29 Mar 2015 and on Yap
317
+ islands on 20 Mar and 1 Apr, causing substantial damages and prompting both Governors and the President to declare a state of emergency.(&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/node/923796&quot;&gt;Govt, 2 Apr 2015&lt;/a&gt;) Following rapid needs assessments in Chuuk&amp;#39;s state capital of Weno, it has been estimated that between 60 to 80 per cent houses are badly damaged, with over 800 homes destroyed and more than 6,000 people displaced and taking refuge with relatives or in over-crowded emergency shelters. The population of Chuuk is highly reliant on subsistence farming, and reports of 90 per cent damage to
318
+ crops has left many with no alternative food sources. Yap&amp;#39;s Ulithi Atoll took the most direct hit from the typhoon, with the majority of homes destroyed and reports of significant and widespread damage to crops and infrastructure as well as possible contamination of food and water sources.

+ &lt;p&gt;Typhoon Maysak (known locally as Chedeng) weakened into a tropical storm as it made landfall in the coastal municipality of Dinapigue, Isabela province in the Philippines&amp;#39; northern Luzon in the early morning of 5 Apr, affecting 2,800 people in Isabela and Aurora provinces. All public storm warning signals were lifted on 5 Apr and 2,140 people that had pre-emptively evacuated were allowed to return to their homes.

- Since late July 2013, Thailand has been facing sporadic flooding, mainly in the north and north-eastern provinces. From late September, seasonal rainfall was further exacerbated by the combined impact of several tropical storms resulting in climatic depressions over Thailand that led to heavy rainfall in many provinces throughout the country. By early October, 45 of 76 provinces were affected by floods, with 25 provinces considered severely affected. The reported death toll from these floods has risen to 61 people, and more than 3.5 million are affected. &lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/report/thailand/thailand-floods-information-bulletin-n%C2%B0-1-0&quot;&gt;(IFRC, 17 Oct 2013)&lt;/a&gt;

+ &lt;p&gt;Severe Tropical Cyclone Pam struck Vanuatu as an extremely destructive category 5 cyclone on the evening of 13 Mar 2015, causing serious damage to infrastructure and leaving debris strewn across the capital. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/node/891351&quot;&gt;OCHA, 15 Mar 2015&lt;/a&gt;) As of 26 Mar, the storm had affected around 166,000 people on 22 islands who are in need of some form of humanitarian assistance. Approximately 15,000 homes have been reported to be destroyed or damaged throughout the provinces of Penama, Malampa, Shefa and Tafea, and 75,000 are in need of emergency

466
+ &lt;p&gt;Following severe inundation from storm surges and sea swells generated by TC Pam, the Government of Tuvalu declared a State of Emergency on 13 Mar. Seven islands have been affected. The worst affected were the northern islands of Nanumaga and Nanumea, and the central islands of Nui and Vaitupu. The main impacts are to shelter, infrastructure, food crops and livestock, and water and sanitation. The Kiribati Government reported severe damage in its three southern islands following high winds and sea surges from TC Pam, while in the Solomon Islands, there have been reports of inundation and damage to islands in Malaita and Temotu Province. IFRC estimates that more than 30,000 people are affected. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/node/898276&quot;&gt;OCHA, 18 Mar 2015&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

- Cyclone Phailin left a trail of destruction along India&#039;s east coast and at least seven people dead after making landfall on 12 Oct 2013 in Orissa state. Officials in Orissa said 873,000 people moved before the cyclone made landfall, while at least another 100,000 were evacuated further south in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Residents were also evacuated from coastal regions of West Bengal state. As emergency teams began assessing damage from the country&#039;s biggest cyclone in 14 years, a massive relief effort went into full swing to distribute food to an estimated one million evacuees, clear roads and help the injured. Some 600,000 people were left homeless after the ferocious storm swept through 14,000 villages mainly in coastal districts.

+ &lt;p&gt;In December 2014, an outbreak of measles started in Sudan&amp;#39;s Gedarif and Kassala States. A localized response vaccination campaign was implemented. However, clustered measles cases started to be reported from additional 13 localities in 10 states. By the beginning of March 2015, more than 1,600 suspected cases (with 710 confirmed) had been reported from 23 localities in 12 states. One of the most affected states was West Darfur, with most of the cases among gold mining workers. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/node/931846&quot;&gt;WHO/UNICEF, 8 Mar 2015&lt;/a&gt;) One month later, at the beginning of April, 3,015 suspected cases (with 1,697 confirmed) had been reported from 31 localities in 14 states. Darfur states reported 59 per cent of measles deaths in Sudan. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/node/930581&quot;&gt;WHO/UNICEF, 5 Apr 2015&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

- Since August 2013 a cholera epidemic has been on-going in Benin. The epidemic was declared in the Sô-Ava municipality in the department of the Atlantic in the south of Benin in September, and as of 2 Oct, a total of 129 confirmed cases were reported in the municipality. Since then, cases have been reported in 13 municipalities with a concentration n Cotonou (196 cases, 4 deaths), Sô-Ava (234 cases) and Acomey-Calawi (22 cases). As of 27 Jan 2014, the total of registered cases is 438 with 6 deaths. During December 2013 no new cases were reported, but since early January 2014, new cases have been reported in So-Ava. This is most likely related to the same outbreak, but increased surveillance and monitoring is necessary to guide the response.

- On the night of 17-18 Sep 2013, heavy rains caused the rupture of the dam along the Logone River at the town of Dougui, Kai Kai District in the Far North Region of Cameroon. This caused initial evacuations of people to the banks of the dam. On 27 Sep, a second rupture in the dam 4 km from the first rupture started flooding the area and nearly 9,000 people were displaced and resided in the open air along the banks of the dam.

- Heavy rains starting in the third week of September 2013 resulted in floods in 20 provinces throughout the north-west and along the Mekong River in central and southern Cambodia, killing 188 people and affecting more than 1.7 million. At the height of the floods, more than 144,000 people had been evacuated. As of 8 Nov, waters had receded in the majority of the provinces, although extended areas remained flooded particularly in Banteay Meancheay and Battambang, as well in the central provinces like Kampong Cham and Prey Veng. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://reliefweb.int/report/cambodia/floods-humanitarian-response-forum-hrf-situation-report-no-06-08-november-2013&quot;&gt;Cambodia Humanitarian Response Forum, 8 Nov 2013&lt;/a&gt;)
1086

1087
- By the end of November, waters had mostly receded from all provinces, with the exception of Kampong Chhnang, where the impact of Tropical Storm Krosa at the end of October caused longer stagnation of water. With the recession of waters, people resumed their livelihood activities, in particular farming. Compared to the events in 2011, floods in 2013 appear to have been less extensive in scale, although in some provinces the impact – including number of evacuated families, damaged crops, damaged infrastructure - was more significant due to a combination of factors such as: unexpected gravity of the floods, both in extent and intensity, longer time for waters to recede, repeated floods and flash floods, limited preparedness undertaken in advance, limited early warning.

- Heavy rains starting in the third week of September 2013 resulted in floods in 20 provinces throughout the north-west and along the Mekong River in central and southern Cambodia, killing 188 people and affecting more than 1.7 million. At the height of the floods, more than 144,000 people had been evacuated. As of 8 Nov, waters had receded in the majority of the provinces, although extended areas remained flooded particularly in Banteay Meancheay and Battambang, as well in the central provinces like Kampong Cham and Prey Veng.

- By the end of November, waters had mostly receded from all provinces, with the exception of Kampong Chhnang, where the impact of Tropical Storm Krosa at the end of October caused longer stagnation of water. With the recession of waters, people resumed their livelihood activities, in particular farming. Compared to the events in 2011, floods in 2013 appear to have been less extensive in scale, although in some provinces the impact – including number of evacuated families, damaged crops, damaged infrastructure - was more significant due to a combination of factors such as: unexpected gravity of the floods, both in extent and intensity, longer time for waters to recede, repeated floods and flash floods, limited preparedness undertaken in advance, limited early warning.
