This revised Emergency Appeal seeks 1,149,014 Swiss francs (reduced from 1,674,188 Swiss francs) to enable the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to support the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) to deliver assistance and support to 50,000 people (reduced from 80,000 people) affected by both Tropical Cyclone Mora and landslides for twelve months with a focus on the following sectors: health, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion (WASH); shelter, food security and livelihoods; disaster risk reduction (DRR) and National Society capacity building. The budget includes a provision of 18,258 Swiss francs for Inter-Agency Shelter Coordination.

The revised response reflects the current situation of the operation and is adjusted with a decrease of 29 per cent in budget and a four-month extension considering funding available and recommendations of the BDRCS to meet the current needs. Major changes include the number of targeted families for shelter assistance which has been reduced from 2,000 to 1,500 families and the number of targeted families for livelihood assistance in the early recovery phase which has been reduced from 2,000 to 400 families. Details are available in the Revised Plan of Action.
