This Operation Update n° 3 gives an account of the humanitarian situation and the response carried out by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Red Cross Society (DPRK RCS) during the period between 12 September 2016 and 12 March 2017, as per revised emergency plan of action (EPOA) with the support of IFRC to meet the needs of floods affected families of North Hamgyong Province in DPRK.

SUMMARY

The Emergency Appeal was revised on 5 January 2017, and this revised emergency appeal seeks 7,421,586 Swiss francs (reduced from 15,199,723 Swiss francs) to enable IFRC to support the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Red Cross Society (DPRK RCS) in delivering assistance and support to 330,000 people (82,500 households) affected by the floods for 12 months.

The flood response operation is focused on health; water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); shelter (including household non-food items); disaster risk reduction (DRR) and National Society capacity building.

The major change in the revised appeal included a stronger focus on health activities such as household first aid kits and extended First Aid training for volunteers. The requirement for additional international staff as surge support has also been established and in the revised appeal there is a provision for one operation manager for three months and one WASH delegate for 12 months.
