Challenges:

Lack of access for the affected kebeles/villages to see the real situation on the ground and verified the reported affected figures due to muddy and continouse flooding in the visited areas.

Recommendations;

Urgent response on almost every sector is highly required to assist the most needy population among the affected people in Doloado woreda.

Immediate solutions.

Immediate shelter (NFIs ) for the displaced and those who lost their homes.▪ Supply of drugs to avoid outbreak disease for the affected communities.▪ Food items as most of the farmers or people in the town lost their food at homes as

they have been washed away. ▪ Provision of urgent in-kind full ES/NFIs/mosquito to the identified affect community that

have not been supported ▪ Provision of water collection containers and chemical for water treatment ▪ Livestock Restocking to the displaced Households to recover their livelihood ▪ Construction of latrine and hand washing facilities to improve hygiene and sanitation

services are the key facilities and services to be done by WASH sector.▪ Preposition of emergency drugs and medical supplies especially AWD kits, supplies for

the response to AWD and other communicable diseases in the areas. ▪ Provision of seed and farm tools for the affected farmers to plan their crops again

Long term solutions:

1-To close the water outlets of the rivers ( 4 outlets 2 for each river) where by most of the flood water are coming from each year.

2-To construct drainage along the main road in Doloado town where by the road is blocking water that could not pass through the road as there is no enough culvert or passage on the road..

3-To divert streams in the town toward the river side so that water could not come to the town.
