Foreword

Timely response to a disaster may save precious human lives and reduce economic costs. However, natural disasters, typically, occur unexpectedly. Consequently, in most cases, the afflicted population lacks the necessary tools and capacity to handle such tragic occurrences and the devastation is manifold more than it should be. “Before the next disaster hits, now is the time to recommit to making smart investments that save lives, property, and money. Whether at home or abroad, measures to improve response, increase disaster management capacity, plan and prepare, can have dramatic dividends.” (Kasey Channell: Acting Director of the Disaster Response Team for USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance.) It is so true, as preparation for unexpected calamities is a tough task. However, if certain precautions are taken, they might lessen the overall damage. This series of district profiles, prepared by iMMAP and funded by USAID, is one such effort to enhance Government of Pakistan, humanitarian organizations and all other stakeholders’ efforts towards rapid needs assessment, disaster response and mitigation. These profiles are divided into four sections namely background information, disaster history and its impact, hazard vulnerability and capacity assessment (HVCA) and coordination and support services. Background information provides an overview of history, geography, culture, and communication infrastructure. It also provides detailed analyses of demography, livelihood, food security, health and education. The second section provides detailed history of disasters in the district; information about losses and damages; and gap analyses of above mentioned sectors. HVCA section provides detailed analyses of district hazards, vulnerabilities and capacities that exist in the local community. Coordination and support services section gives information on whom to contact in emergency/disaster situations. The motivation stems from the idea that at the time of disaster all the stakeholders in general and the donors and disaster managers in particular can have a fair idea of what to expect and how to prepare for. It is expected that this contribution of USAID and iMMAP would lead to a well-coordinated and coherent response by different humanitarian organization on managing similar disasters. Having stated the above, it is very candidly admitted that these profiles are by no means exhaustive and in fact require a lot more input to qualify these as good enough documents for disaster preparedness. However, these are live documents and would be improved upon as and when required. There appears to be an element of repetition, which is owed to the fact that while these documents depict the district profiles in normal circumstances, the same then provide a detail account of the impact of the 2010/2011 floods, the assistance provided by the government and the humanitarian organizations and the remaining gaps. While selecting districts, priority has been given to National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) identified disaster prone districts for 2012. Due to time and resources constraints, the information provided in these profiles is mainly based on secondary source data. Depending on the end users’ response and funding availability, this exercise would be extended to other districts of the country.

DISTRICT RAHIM YAR KHAN1

1 Background Information 1.1Introduction

1.1.1 History Rahim Yar Khan has always been politically entwined with Multan, the ancient seat of power of a number of rulers, foreign as well as local. Along with Multan it passed into the hands of Alexander the Great, and his Generals, Ashoka, the great Buddhist Hindu king, Muhammad Bin Qasim, the first Muslim conqueror of India, to name a few. The Abbassids from Egypt hold a special place in the later history of Rahim Yar Khan; the Sikhs under their soldier -king also ruled over this part of Punjab until they were defeated by the British in the famous Anglo-Sikh wars.

The British, through a special treaty with the Nawab’s of Bahawalpur, granted Bahawalpur the administrative status of a State, a British setup employed throughout the Indian subcontinent under which the local princes/rulers took oath of loyalty to the British and were allowed to rule over their people, subject to the terms of the treaty. The district was named Rahim Yar Khan by Nawab Sadiq Khan IV of Bahawalpur, after the name of his first son in 1881. It was raised to the status of an administrative district in 19432.

1.1.2 Geography Rahim Yar Khan District is situated between 24o 13’ to 25o 12’ north latitude and 68o 21’ to 69o 20’ east longitude. District Rahim Yar Khan is one of the largest districts of southern Punjab. The river Indus separates Rahim Yar Khan from Muzafargarh, Rajanpur, Kashmore & Ghotki districts. The district borders with Muzaffargarh district on the north, with Jasilmir (India) and Ghotki district of Sindh province on the south, with Bahawalpur district on the east, and with Rajanpur district on the west.3

1.1.3 Culture People of all ethnic groups and races i.e. Seraikis, Punjabis, Balochis, Sindis and Pathans live here harmoniously from generation.

1.1.7 Solid Waste Management Solid Waste Collection capacity of the District Governments is far less than the volume generated. About 60% of municipal solid waste is collected while the rest remains unattended along roadsides5. Solid waste management in Rahim Yar Khan comprises of primary and secondary collection systems for final disposal. The existing nullahs in the district are considered suitable for effluents’ disposal; however, permission from Irrigation & Power departments, Government of the Punjab, is necessary for disposal of effluents in these nullahs/drains after treatment.

1.2 Demography

1.1.8 Population Characteristics In Pakistan, male population is more than the female population. One probable reason of this ratio could be underreporting of females during national surveys. Pakistan is among those four countries where life expectancy for female, at birth, is less than that of males. Sex ratio in Rahim Yar Khan is 108.8 males per 100 females, which is more than the ratio at the national level, which is 1067. Though there could be other possible reasons for such a difference in male to female ratio, very high maternal mortality rate8 (0.3 for Punjab) and poor health care, at the district and provincial level9 and under reporting of females in national surveys are likely to be instrumental for a great fall in the number of women. Rahim Yar Khan is a rural district in nature and 80 percent of the total population resides in rural areas.

in the district are dates, mangoes and citrus, and the average annual production over the period 2005-08 was 0.38, 393, 13.43 thousand MT respectively. There are 41 flour mills and 4 sugar mills already operating in the district. Therefore wheat and sugarcane do not reflect available industrial potential whereas cotton, being the most important crop, shows a lot of industrial potential. For fruits, there is a big scope for value addition by making juices, pickles and squashes. Dates can be processed and packed. Vinegar can also be manufactured from dates12.

1.4 Food Security Food security can be broadly divided into four components16:

• Availability of food in terms of sufficient quantity available through domestic production or imports

• Access to adequate resources given the socio-political and economic arrangements of the community

• Utilization refers to the body’s ability to make use of the nutrients provided. This requires clean water sanitation and health care.

• Stability includes an all-time access and utilization of food without any fear of losing it due to any shock (natural calamity, economic shock). This component points out to sustainability of food in an area.

1.4.1 Availability Wheat is produced in most of the rural mouzas along with the other cash crops such as cotton and sugarcane. Rice, maize, and Jowar are also cultivated in the district but in lesser quantities as compared to wheat, cotton and sugarcane. In 2009-10, Government of Punjab procured 3,243 metric tons of wheat from this district whereas it received 178 thousand metric tons for local consumption.17. This implies that the district produced 3,065 MT of surplus wheat.

Food availability not only depends on the obtainability of wheat but also rests on availability of other cereals like rice, maize etc. The production of Maize and reic is extremely low in this district. Livestock based food availability (meat, milk, milk products) is also an important component of total food availability and it is also facing deficit in the district. However, due to the big surplus of crop based food production in the district , Rahimyar Khan is, overall, reporting surplus of food availability in the district18.

FOOD SECURITY14

1.4.2 Access Per capita availability of food items alone is not a reliable indicator of food security. If the available food is not socio-economically accessible to the masses, availability alone cannot make a society food secure. Average monthly income of a household in this district is between Rs. 11,000 and Rs. 15,000/-which is considered as very low19. Child dependency (ratio between children and household members in economically active age group) is one of the limiting factors in meeting the daily needs of households and is an important indicator to measure access to food. The increased dependency ratio enhances the spending of the household on child care and food which results in a per capita reduction of socio-economic access to food. Child dependency ratio is also very high in this district. The share of household expenditures on food is 61.1% of the total income in Punjab. So the low level of income, high food expenditures and high inflation (particularly food inflation) hinders access to food.

The table below shows the distance of mouzas from the wholesale markets depicting physical access of food in the district Rahimyar Khan. Average distance from the fruit and vegetable market of a mouza is 18 kilometers whereas the distance from the grain market is 19 kilometers. Such long distances impede access to food.

1.4.3 Utilization In addition to food availability and access, proper assimilation of food in the body is essential. Food utilization and stability depicts this absorption of food and its sustainability. Improved sanitation facilities, clean drinking water, health infrastructure and individual health status along with the female literacy plays vital role in food absorption.

According to Food Security Analysis (FSA) 2009, access to improved drinking water is reasonable in this district20.

Sanitation facilities in urban areas of district RahimYarKhan are far better than rural areas of the district. 96 percent of urban HH have reported Flush facility at their homes and only 48 percent of rural HH have reported flush facility. 38 percent of rural HH have no toilet facility of any kind.

Thus, Rahimyar Khan, except for food availability, has a problem of access to food, poor health facilities and low literacy rate. Such conditions place the district at the borderline of food insecurity and rather make the district highly vulnerable to the risk of food insecurity21.

2 Disaster History and Its Impact

2.1 Disasters in Rahim Yar Khan

2.1.1 Disaster History Historically, Raim Yar Khan is prone to disasters like floods, flash floods, heavy monsoon rains, dust storms, epidemics and droughts. The district has been severely hit by floods in the year 2010. Heavy monsoon rains, dust storms and epidemics have been a seasonal phenomenon in this district. During flood 2010, 130 out of 1049 villages of the district were severely affected. Droughts have also been observed in southern part of the district. Thus, in district Rahimyar Khan, lack of education, Institutional structures and many other host factors have increased the vulnerabilities of local population against the above mentioned hazards and disasters.

2.3.2 Health Although, district Rahim Yar Khan’s health facilities were not in good condition even before the floods, after the floods health problems increased and extra workload in the health facilities resulted in lack of staff, equipment and medicines. In Raihm Yar Khan mainly basic health facilities were affected from 2010 floods. Five BHUs were partially affected in different revenue villages like Bhong, Garhi Khair Muhammad Jhak, Chak No.39 NP and Kot Sanjar Khan. In monetary terms, loss of health facility buildings was estimated to be Pak rupees 18,213,625 and damages incurred to health facility equipment and furniture was 8,050,000 rupees.

The distribution of damaged BHUs, regardless of the level of damage (fully vs. partially) across the district is shown in Table 2.2.3.

3 Hazard Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis

3.1 Hazard Hazard simply means danger or risk. The synonyms used for hazards are jeopardy, venture, peril or chance. A hazard is the situation which triggers disaster. But it can be also defined as:

“Hazard is a potentially damaging physical event, phenomenon or human activity that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation 27“.

Thus, hazard is a situation that has the potential to harm the health and safety of a people or damage their property, plants and equipment etc. Hazards can be divided into two categories.

3.1.1 Natural hazard There are natural processes or phenomena within the earth system that may constitute a damaging event. Example typhoons, tsunamis, earthquake and volcanic eruption cyclones, earthquakes, floods, landslides, storms are natural hazards.

3.1.2 Man-made hazard Any industrial, nuclear, or transportation accident, explosion, power failure, resource shortage, or other condition, resulting from man-made causes, which threaten or cause damage to property, human suffering, hardship or loss of life are termed as Man-Made hazard.

27 The “Urban Governance and Community Resilience Guides” (ADPC, 2010)

Page 45: Bhong Masjid, Rahim Yar Khan · 1.1.3 Entry/Exit Points for District Rahim Yar Khan 3 1.1.4 Area Sown, Un-Irrigated and Irrigated by Mode of Irrigation 3 1.1.5 Solid waste management

HAZARD, VULNERABILITY AND CAPACITY ANALYSIS 32

Hazard matrix

Hazard Frequency Area affected/union councils Severity/Force Year Flood Monsoon Entire district High 2010 Heavy rainfall Seasonal North part of the district High Every year Droughts Rare Southern part of R.Y.K Low --- Dust storms Summer Cholistan (south of the district ) Low Every year Epidemics Monsoon /seasonal Whole district Low Ever year Technological accidents

Often Urban area Low Every year

3.2 Vulnerability Vulnerability here means the state of being at risk of or being exposed to hazards. It also refers to the inability to withstand the effects of a hostile environment.

“The attributes and circumstances of a community or system that makes it sensitive, vulnerable or susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard28”.

Vulnerability precedes disasters, contribute to their severity, hinder and obstruct the disaster response. Vulnerability is divided into three types, as follows.

3.1.3 Physical/material vulnerability: Weakness of the built environment and lack of access to physical and material resources i.e living in hazard prone areas or in unsafe buildings, lack of savings, insurance and assets.

3.1.4 Social/organizational vulnerability: Inequality in social systems that discriminate against and marginalize certain groups of people from accessing resources and services constitutes social/organizational vulnerability. People who have been marginalized in social, economic or political terms are vulnerable to disasters. Weakness in social and organizational areas may also cause disasters e.g. deep division can lead to conflict and war. Conflict of resources due to poverty can also lead to violence.

3.1.5 Attitudinal/motivational vulnerability: Existence of fatalistic myths and religious beliefs influence people’s vulnerability to disaster risks. If people believe that disasters are ‘acts of God’ and if they have low confidence in their ability to affect change or have ‘lost heart’ and feel defeated by events they cannot control, these people are often harder hit by disasters.

DISTRICT RAHIM YAR KHAN33

Vulnerability matrix

Physical/material Social/organizational Attitudinal/motivational The climate of the district is very hot and dry in summer and cold in winter. River Hakra, which used to flow in the district, centuries ago, eventually dried up, altering one third area of the district into desert (Cholistan).

The 2010 estimated population of the district is 4,242,641. In 1998 average annual growth rate of the district was 3.19%, which is very high

In welfare projects involvement of the local people is mostly ignored and the so called representatives (influential) are involved and are benefitted.

Rahim Yar Khan is a disaster prone district. River Indus flows on the north side, which inundates the catchment area, creating flood situation. Desert CHOLISTAN is prone to hazards like droughts because average annual rainfall in the district is 165mm.

In R.Y.K there is no presence of international NGOs and the district lacks implementing partners as well.

There is lack of awareness and education on DRR in the local community.

Emergency resources like Boats, jackets, first aid kits, ropes, spades and trollies etc are not available at the community level.

Flood 2010 has escalated the graph of poverty by damaging the sources of livelihood and property.

Skilled and trained volunteers are scares in number who could assist the people in need in emergencies.

Breaches in bunds and canals, after the flood 2010, made people vulnerable to the future flood threats.

Corruption has its root in every department. Corruption is continued in NGOs, government departments and in community.

Interest of the political leaders in social problems of the district people is at minimum level.

Though three FM channels, mobile facility and speakers are available at the community level, proper Early warning system in the district is missing.

DDMA is absent from the district. No DDRMP is issued by the local district government. Similarly coordination amongst the different stakeholder also doesn’t exist.

Economic discrimination in the society and Domestic violence against women is widespread

Environmental degradation is at its peak in the district. Health of environment is disturbed by various kinds of industrial wastes.

Lack of proper Disaster risk assessment in the District

Low cast material used in the construction of houses increase the vulnerability of the people.

Many of the bridges, roads, schools and health centers were damaged in the flood. These buildings and structures are more vulnerable and can cause damage to the people.

HAZARD, VULNERABILITY AND CAPACITY ANALYSIS34

3.2Capacity Capacity is contrasted to vulnerability. Ability to perform or produce is capacity. Capacities are resources, means and strengths, which exist in households and communities and which enable them to cope with, withstand, prepare for, prevent, mitigate or quickly recover from a disaster. The combination of all the strengths attributes and resources available within a community, society or organization that can be used to achieve agreed goals make up its capacity29.

3.2.1 Physical/material capacity: In most disasters, people suffer their greatest losses in the physical and material realm. Access to physical/material things or objects count as physical capacity. Few examples of physical and material capacity are cash, food, land, properties and tools.

3.2.2 Social /organizational capacity: However, even when everything physical is destroyed, people still have their skills, experiences and knowledge. Besides, they have family and social networks. They have leaders and systems for making decisions. They also have local, collective ‘wisdom’ reflected in their cultural practices that help them reduce or cope with disaster risks.

3.2.3 Attitudinal/motivational capacity: People also have positive attitudes and strong motivations such as the will to survive and willingness to help each other.

Capacity matrix

Physical/material Social/organizational Attitudinal/motivational RAHIM YAR KHAN is predominantly a rural agricultural district. Its land is suitable for different kinds of crops like wheat, cotton, sugarcane. Most of the orchards are of citrus, dates and mangoes. Nearly 80% of the population resides in rural areas wherein more than half are engaged in agriculture.*

Al-Nayhan Family, the ruling family of Abu Dhabi, has undertaken a large number of welfare projects including Sheikh Zayed Hospital Complex, Sheikh Zayed Public College, School, Police Rehabilitation Center, and Air-port, with an aim to facilitate the local people of the district.

People of all ethnicities and races; Seraiki, Punjabi, Balochis, Sindhis, Pathans live here harmoniously from generations. The City is just like a mini Pakistan

River Indus and Naushehra Minor canal of the district irrigates the fertile land of RAHIM YAR KHAN.

Local district government is serving and providing services to local district people, for smooth running of the system.

Though Hindus and Christians also reside in the district, no complaint of conflict is recorded.

The district is a hub for Agro-based industry and other industrial activities. Flour mills, sugar mills, fertilizers (FFC) and cotton industries contribute to the district economy and provide job opportunities.

New generation is educated and active. For improvement of their community they have formed village based organizations which act as a catalyst speeding up welfare activities

The residents of Rahim Yar Khan are very cooperative and generally are very respectful to government officials.

Rahim Yar Khan is an old historical district and has rich cultural heritage. The fort Drawar, Patan Minara , Bhong Mosque, Abu Dhabi palace and Salluwali wild life farm are worth seeing places .

Army and Police provide emergency services in catastrophes. Police maintain law and order situation, where needed, in emergencies.

Network of roads, railway tracks and airport (sh. Zayed Air Port) links the district with other districts of the province. Public transport including long distance day-night air-conditioned coaches (Daewoo Company) provides services to the residents of the district.

Rescue 1122 department evacuated and rescued 586 people and provided them first aid facility in the flood emergency of 2010.

Recreational centers like parks and zoo are providing recreation facilities to the public and generating income for local government.

Politically, the families who have a long-standing history in the region include the Makhdooms, Raises, Gujjars, Legharis and Warraichs. Jahangir Khan Tareen of the PMLQ also served as federal mister for industries.

The area is a wildlife sanctuary and home to Chinkara deer. This is often visited by the royal family of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for hunting purposes.

There is a Sports Committee headed by the Deputy Commissioner, for Organizing various Tournaments in the district. Kabaddi is liked and played almost in all urban and rural areas of the district. Besides, hockey, badminton, football, tennis, cricket, lawn tennis are played.

.

Government and private buildings were used as relief camps in flood 2010, so are considered as physical capacity of the district.
