HF 52,941 (USD 49,451 or EUR 37,088) was allocated from the International Federation's Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) on 8 October 2009 to support the national society in delivering assistance to some 95,000 beneficiaries.

The main purpose of this DREF was to support the deployment of national disaster response team, national water and sanitation disaster response team, state disaster response team, and regional disaster response team members in response to floods in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

This deployment was for carrying out rapid assessment and thereafter to deliver the relief to the affected population. The deployed personnel efficiently responded and extended non food relief to the affected population of 25,000 people. In addition to this, with the supply of potable drinking water, approximately 60,000 additional people benefited.

Simultaneously with the launch of the DREF, the Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) also launched their own domestic appeal to assist some 95,000 beneficiaries.

By the end of the DREF-supported operation timeframe, all set objectives were achieved.

The remaining balance of CHF 30,088 (USD 28,120 or EUR 21,080) will be returned to the International Federation's DREF.
