Flash floods triggered by the monsoon rain caused severe damage to infrastructure in the affected areas. Entire villages and urban centers have been flooded, homes have been destroyed, and over a million acres of crops and agricultural lands have been damaged. A Damage and Needs Assessment (DNA) has been commissioned in the wake of the floods. The DNA assesses the extent of the damage and the needs for rehabilitation and reconstruction of the damaged assets and infrastructure, and restoration of livelihoods and economic productivity. It provides the strategic underpinnings for medium- to long-term post-floods reconstruction, recovery planning, prioritization, and programming. This report quantifies physical damage and presents sector level recovery and reconstruction strategies. Taking into account the extent of the damage and the proposed strategies, the report then quantifies corresponding needs.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONSAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL LANDSAGRICULTUREANIMAL HEALTHANTENATAL CAREBANKSBLANKETBLANKETSBODBURDEN OF DISEASECIVIL WORKSCLASSIFICATIONCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE PATTERNSCOASTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCROPSCULTURAL HERITAGEDAMAGE ASSESSMENTSDAMAGED HOUSESDAMAGESDAMSDATA COLLECTIONDATA GAPSDEBRIS REMOVALDEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONDISASTERDISASTER EVENTSDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER MITIGATIONDISASTER RECONSTRUCTIONDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKSDISCHARGEDOCUMENTSDRAINAGEDRAINAGE CHANNELSEARLY WARNINGEARLY WARNING SYSTEMEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKE RECONSTRUCTIONECONOMIC GROWTHECOSYSTEMSEMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSEMERGENCY RELIEFEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMERGENCY SHELTERENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWENVIRONMENTAL STUDIESEROSIONEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFAMILIESFARMERSFEDERAL AGENCIESFISHFISHERIESFLOODFLOOD DAMAGEFLOOD HAZARD AREAFLOOD LEVELSFLOOD MANAGEMENTFLOOD MITIGATIONFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOOD WATERSFLOODEDFLOODINGFLOODPLAINSFLOODSFOOD SECURITYFOREIGN AFFAIRSFORESTFOREST LANDFORESTSFRUITSGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATIONGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH MANAGEMENTHEALTH RISKSHEAVY RAINFALLHOUSINGHYGIENEIMMUNIZATIONINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRASTRUCTURE DAMAGEINFRASTRUCTURE DAMAGESINJURIESINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSISOLATIONLAND USELAND USE PLANSLAWSMANGROVESMARKETINGMEDICAL SUPPLIESMORTALITYMOSQUITONATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL PHENOMENONNEEDS ASSESSMENTPETROLEUMPHYSICAL DAMAGEPLANTATIONPONDSPRECIPITATIONPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRISONSPUBLIC AWARENESSPUBLIC HEALTHREGULATORY AUTHORITYRELIEFRELIEF ACTIVITIESRELIEF EFFORTRESERVOIRRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONRESTORATIONRESTORATION ACTIVITIESRISK ANALYSISRIVERRIVERINESAFETYSCREENINGSEARCH AND RESCUESOCIAL ISSUESSTAGNANT WATERSTORMSTORM WATERSURFACE WATERTEMPORARY SHELTERTENTSTOPOGRAPHYTOXIC SUBSTANCESTSUNAMIVIOLENCEWASTEWATER DISTRIBUTIONWATER TANKSWATERSHEDWETLANDSWILDLIFEWORKERSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION10.1596/17565
