Enhancing WASH Response Capacity for Urban Floods: Emergency Training Overview

This session introduces the Emergency Training for WASH response to urban floods, highlighting the increasing frequency of heavy precipitation and its associated flood risks as predicted by the IPCC. Given the growing urban populations and the rise in natural disasters, there is an urgent need for capacity building among WASH practitioners. The training aims to enhance understanding of the impacts of urban floods, establish response standards, and provide practical guidelines for initial rapid assessments in flood settings within the first two months following a disaster.

  1. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training UF WASH Response to Urban Floods Session 0 Introduction and expectations

  2. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training UF The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts: “heavy precipitation events, which arevery likely to increase in frequency, will augment flood risk” Predicted increase in flood events UF0

  3. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training UF Predicted increase in urban populations Source: ALNAP, 2009 UF0

  4. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training UF The Global WASH Cluster Learning Project: “The increased number of earthquakes and floods have brought us all closer to urban environments, yet it is recognised that many agencies lack the skills to effectively address the complex challenges involved” Identified need for capacity building in the sector UF0

  5. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training UF • Aim • To improve the capacity of WASH practitioners to plan and deliver an • effective WASH response in an urban flood setting. • Objectives • To develop knowledge and understanding about the context and impacts of urban floods, as well as challenges and standards for the response • To provide guidelines on key elements of an initial rapid assessment in an urban flood setting • To develop understanding about WASH response activities and priorities in an urban flood setting. • Scope • WASH response, with a particular emphasis on the first phase response (0-2 months) Aims, objectives and scope UF0
