Assessment Report | Cyclone Hud Hud | October 2014
1. Executive Summary:
NGOs positioned themselves in Andhra Pradesh ahead of Cyclone Hudhud, having followed the
th
intensification of the Tropical Cyclone from the 8 of October 2014. Drawing on learning from Cyclone
Phailin responses a year earlier, a joint assessment process was agreed prior to landfall, and assessment
teams started moving to the field immediately after the cyclone to carry out the Joint Rapid Need
Assessment (JRNA) using standardized formats and a predefined methodology. Wind speeds reached
approximately 195km/h, and landfall took place near Vishakhapatnam. Initial assessment teams prioritized
districts in the North of Andhra Pradesh. The humanitarian impact of the cyclone was concentrated mostly in
Vishakhapatnam district, with pockets of need in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam also. The primary hazards
that affected communities included cyclonic winds up to 195km/h, tidal surge of 1.2m, heavy rain of up to
240mm in isolated areas and flooding of isolated areas near rivers and canals, mostly in agricultural areas.
Flooding and debris resulted in some areas being inaccessible in the first few days after the cyclone.
The findings of the JRNA assessment are:
 Major shelter damage has been seen in 17% of assessed villages, and minor damage in 41% of
assessed villages.
 The majority of households in 93% of assessed villages practice open defecation, and less than 50% of
the assessed population have access to safe drinking water as 73% of assessed villages indicated piped
water supply is affected, and many ground water sources have high salinity.
 The cyclone has had an impact on food stocks in 88% of assessed villages. Households in 83% of
assessed villages have reduced the quantity of food intake. Only 61% of villages indicate that most
households are able to cook food after the cyclone, with adequate fuel and utensils.
 Markets were affected in the short term in 49% of assessed villages, in 66% of assessed villages less
than 25% of households can afford to purchase food post cyclone, as a result from food price increases
in 98% of villages assessed.
Emerging humanitarian needs:
 Food Assistance: address urgent needs and gaps for marginal groups, either through dry rations,
along with utensils/ fuel for food preparation. Identify groups excluded from relief assistance being
provided by the government, and considering that rations to non-fishing communities is less and
households that don’t have Aadhaar cards/ ration cards are not receiving relief assistance.
 WASH: provision of safe drinking water in areas where pipes are damaged and water logging has
occurred. Carry out water testing and disinfection.
 Shelter: Immediate temporary shelter support and medium term assistance with shelter repair and
reconstruction. Households also need support with NFIs (including educational materials).

Assessment Report | Cyclone Hud Hud | October 2014
2. Background:
th
Cyclone HUDHUD made landfall on the 12 of October 2014, between 12h00 and 13h00 near
Vishakhapatnam with sustained wind speeds of 170-180 km/h, and gusting to 195 km/h (GDACS reports
gusts of up to 212km/h). The intensity of cyclonic winds prevailed for 6 hours after landfall. Heavy rainfall
affected west and east Godavari, Vishakapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam of North Andhra Pradesh
and Ganjam, Gajapati, Koratpur, Rayagada, Nabarangpur, Malkangiri, Kalakhandi, Phulbani districts of
South Odisha. The peak storm surge took place during high tide (1.1m) and was estimated at 1.2 meters
above astronomical tide, resulting in some inundation of low-lying areas of Vishakhapatnam, Vizianagaram
and Srikakulam districts at the time of landfall. Chhattisgarh, adjoining east Madhya Pradesh and interior
Odisha, East Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar have experienced rainfall as the system moved
northwards and further inland. The Cyclone has caused 1) Wind storm and storm surge and 2) Heavy rain,
flooding and water logging.
Local authorities have estimated that up to 70% of trees in were uprooted and approximately 70% of power
th
lines damaged in Vishakhapatnam. As of 20 October 2014, 46 deaths from Andhra Pradesh (29 in
Visakhapatnam and 15 in Vizianagaram, and 2 in Srikakulam) have been reported. HUDHUD has
predominantly caused damages to kutcha houses and livelihoods.
Chhattisgarh, adjoining east Madhya Pradesh and interior Odisha, East Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar
has experienced rainfall. Over 300 houses were damaged and several persons were injured in Jharkhand
and 5 deaths and 12 injured has been reported from Rautpur village & Wani villlage of Manigachi Block in
Darbhanga district of Bihar. The weather system then moved northwards into Nepal, causing blizzards that
lead to the death of 39 a further persons. In total the weather system lead to the deaths of at least 90
persons.
Humanitarian Profile (initial estimates)
The water receded fairly quickly, transportation networks have been restored, and communication networks
are mostly functioning (10 days post disaster). Basic commodity prices rose after the cyclone. Communities
experienced significant crop losses, damage to productive assets and household NFIs. There was little
impact on Pucca houses, and therefore the impact of the cyclone on shelter was limited to vulnerable
pockets. The most affected are those living in low lying areas, exposed to the hazards, and experiencing
reduced livelihood opportunity or the loss of productive assets. Social vulnerabilities within pockets of the
affected population may result from targetting of government relief and exclusion from compensation
packages for landless households. The government response is strong, and further assessment will need to
determine whether determined humanitarian needs are met through local response mechanisms, and what
gaps remain.

The National Crisis Management Committee (NCMC) met under the Chairmanship of the Cabinet
Secretary Ajit Seth and reviewed the preparedness for relief and rescue operations in the wake of the
cyclonic storm.
Andhra Pradesh government has identified 356 villages in 59 Mandals of the four districts as cycloneaffected. More than 300 relief camps were opened.
NDRF deployed 42 rescue and relief teams for rescue operations. They also cleared felled trees,
electricity and communication poles and hoardings from roads in the affected areas. 500 field staff and
100 engineers are working day-and-night to restore normalcy and telecom services. 45,000 electric
poles would be installed to restore power, of this, 2000 poles have reached Vizag and restoration works
are being carried out. Support was also promised by the Tamil Nadu CM.
The statistics revealed that 2250 km length of roads were damaged in the state. Andhra Pradesh State
Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) said in a release that bus services to Visakhapatnam have been
restored.
The armed forces assisted the civil administration on rescue and relief operations, deploying four teams
to Vishakhapatnam 4 teams to Srikakulam (Tikli and Echerla). The Army established a Disaster
Management Cell at Air Defence College, Gopalpur.
Six helicopters have been positioned in the Naval base at Visakhapatnam. A P-8I long-range maritime
reconnaissance aircraft based at INS Rajali in Arakkonam was used to carry out damage assessment of
coastal areas.
The Navy was appointed as the lead agency among the armed forces for relief and response operations
that was code-named 'Op Lehar'. Five diving teams dispatched to Srikakulam, 10 teams to low-lying
areas in and around Vishakhapatnam for rescue and relief operations. 15 satellite phones are arranged
and 689 swimmers are positioned across 5 districts. 54 boats have been kept ready (30 of them are
naval boats).
Government constituted special teams to identify the affected families and enumerate the losses for
th
further assistance. (15 October)
The East Coast Railway and South Central Railway cancelled over 70 trains while short terminating or
diverting many others in view of cyclonic storm Hudhud.
The PM announced Rs 1,000 Crore worth of aid for the cyclone-affected areas in Andhra Pradesh by the
Centre. Aid of Rs 500,000 will be given to kin of deceased and Rs 50,000 will be given to the injured
along with a provision of 25 kg rice, 1 kg sugar and 5 litres of kerosene.
The government has announced (as per GO MS 9) 50 kgs of rice, 5 kgs of kerosene, 2 kgs of dal, 1 kg
sugar, ½ kg red chilli powder, 1kg tamarind, ½ kg salt, 2 kgs potato and 3kgs onion for fishing
communities. For other affected communities the relief is reduced to 25 kgs of rice.
Andhra Pradesh has formed five special teams to monitor health, restoration, relief, power and
sanitation.

4. Inherent capacities- traditional knowledge:
Andhra Pradesh is a great cultivator of rice, which is a major food crop and staple food of the state. Also,
state has a huge plantation of cashew, coconut, pineapple, banana, tamarind plantation, sugarcane,
vegetables, palm oil trees, horticulture plantations and NTF produces which is massively affected by recent
disaster and need to be supported. It was observed that community residing near coastal region of
Srikakulam are experiencing disaster every year but this year cyclone is severe and massive. Community
have an inherent capacity of mobilizing people with the support of local organizations and Self Help Group,
which reduces the number of death and impact of cyclone. Rural community in Andhra Pradesh have good
linkages with bank, which can be utilized as an option for Cash Transfer Program. Local CSOs are well
networked and work extensively with community on multiple sectors within the state.

5. Field Assessment:
The Joint Rapid Needs Assessment (JRNA) covered 41 villages from the worst affected districts of Andhra
Pradesh. Out of 41 villages assessed by the team, water level was more than 3 feet in 7 villages and 1 to 3
feet in 29 villages. Also water has entered within the villages in 37 villages and into the houses in 10 villages.
Note: the findings of the JRNA are based on the field assessments in the 41 assessed villages within the
timeline of the assessment and are representative of the entire response geography during the same
timeline. The response efforts may have changed the situation by the time of compilation and release of the
report.
6. Sector wise needs emerging
6.1 Food Security, Nutrition and Livelihood
a) Food Security and Livelihoods
Situation Analysis (Based on secondary data and field observations/reports)
 Food grains/food stocks including dry fish got damaged in the affected districts of Visakhapatnam,
Vizianagaram and Srikakulam
 Around 4.5 lakh acres of crop was lost due to flooding.
 Depending on the food relief (Cooked food and Dry ration) provided by the Government and
Philanthropists.
 Discrimination in distribution of food packets, milk, biscuits and ration was reported in many places
 Agricultural crops, equipment and assets/livestock have been affected / damaged and hence the farmers
are unable to meet their livelihood needs immediately. Also, severe scarcity of drinking water and fodder
for cattle is reported
 In coastal area of Srikakulam district, fisher man have experienced livelihood loss due to damage of
boats and nets
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are:
 84% of the assessed community reported that they have lost food stocks due to cyclone, out of which
34% have experienced severe damage of food stocks. Of these39% of villages reported moderate
losses, and 29% low impact. Assessment teams were concerned that community members do not have
access to sufficient food especially vulnerable groups (SCs, STs, children under 5, Elders, Pregnant and
lactating women) are suffering due to lack of access to sufficient daily nutritious food.
 89% of the communities reported that their remaining food stock will last for less than a week. This will
result in severe food scarcity and less consumption especially by women and children
 In addition, 84% of the assessed villages reported that there is significant decrease in the total amount of
food that they are eating post cyclone and 98% of communities are affected by increases in food prices.
 In the assessed community, the impact of cyclone was most experienced by non-agriculture day labour
sector- (59%) of villages affected, followed by fisher folks (52%) and then by other agriculture day labour
(34%), artisans, petty shops, small scale entrepreneur (30%).
 34% of villages assessed indicated that there had been severe crop damage.
 It was observed that there is a loss of livelihood especially cashew, coconut, pineapple, banana,
tamarind plantation, sugarcane, vegetables, palm oil trees, horticulture plantations and NTF produces
like coffee plantation are completely wiped out
b) Accessibility of Nutritional Programme
Access to nutritional services at community level is a major concern considering that 89% of SAM children
do not have access to referral mechanism and 86% don’t have access to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation
Centre), which is quite serious as management of SAM children is critical during an emergency situation and
need treatment urgently without delay either at community level (SAM without medical complications) or at
facility level (SAM with medical complications).

Page 8 of 25
Assessment Report | Cyclone Hud Hud | October 2014
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are:
 68% of Anganwadi centres are not affected by disasters but there is a reduction in functionality of
nutrition services due to unavailability of food stocks and dry ration.
 43% of the mothers reported that there is no safe and private place for breastfeeding their children who
are below 6 months, which will severely affect Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices and may
result into top feeding, reducing exclusive breastfeeding.
 ICDS centre are not functional in the affected areas, although ICDS has been ordered to open
immediately, it will take some time before becoming fully functional as all the food commodities (oil, rice,
eggs etc.) has been lost/damaged.
 54% of villages indicated that there were challenges relating to food preparation due to damage of
cooking utensils/ loss of food stocks in the affected areas.
 There is a need for further nutritional assessment, as reduced availability of diverse foods, reduced
consumption at the household level, increase in market prices, poor sanitation conditions of displaced
populations and loss of assets and stocks may lead to a deterioration of nutritional status.
c) Market Analysis
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages)are:
 Hudhud cyclone resulted in reduced access to and functionality of markets, reduced food stocks and
increased prices. About 17% of the assessed villages indicated that they could not afford to purchase
food from the market. 49% indicated that less than 25% of the community was able to purchase food.
Only 7% of villages indicated that most of the community were able to purchase food.
 66% of the community reported that market are partially functional
 Almost 48% of the respondents said that the markets are running low on food stocks and communities
surveyed indicated there were increases in food prices
 In 54% of fishing villages, women are involved in purchases, whereas in 71% of agricultural
communities, women purchase items for the household.

d) Livestock
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages)are:
 8,742 animal deaths were reported
 16% of villages have expressed concerns over livestock and reported loss/death of their livestock
 25% of villages assessed indicated that the availability of fodder for domestic animals has been affected
Urgent Needs (Food Security, Nutrition and Livelihood sector)
 Food assistance as 90% of communities not having access to food beyond one week, with further
analysis the gap period where food insecurity is likely, and what needs are remaining after government
food assistance.
 Cash based assistance may assist with the recovery of local markets enhancing liquidity.
 Tribal areas are yet to be reached by the aid and hence immediate support for livelihoods early recovery
is needed
 In tribal areas where the crops are damaged, livelihoods are affected and food security is an issue,
alternative short term livelihood options are needed through cash transfer/ CFW for both agriculture and
non-agriculture based labour.
 Fishermen have faced damage to their boats so they need immediate money assistance to repair boats,
with emphasis on mechanisms to assist daily wage earners working in the fishing industry who are
unable to work.
 There is an urgent need of safe baby spaces for breastfeeding, can be met by providing baby tents for
establishing baby friendly spaces
6.2 WASH:
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are:
 The major sources of water supply are open well (24%), pond/ open bodies of water (5%, pipe water
(22%) and tube well (54%).
 In 88% of villages, piped water had been affected. In most affected places due to inundation and
clogging
 51% of communities indicate that the majority of households have limited access to safe drinking water,
while 22% indicate that some are without access. Only 22% have only a few or 7% have no access to
safe drinking water.
 Only 49% of communities indicated that access to safe water is available to marginal groups.
 There is need for water containers in 64% of the assessed villages.



Sanitation practices are almost the same pre and post disaster, with 93% of the surveyed villages
predominantly practicing open defecation, in fishing communities this is as much as 100%.
More than half of the households have no access to toilet facilities for both male and female household
members.
Major concerns of 63% of villages relate to solid waste management, and 61% of villages are concerned
about wastewater.
In 93% of villages surveyed, women use cloth for menstrual hygiene, in 32% of villages women use
sanitary napkins.
Urgent needs:
 A growing, number of people do not have access to safe water are in urgent need of a range of WASH
support, including clean water, storage containers, hygiene kits, purification materials and various WASH
NFIs.
 WASH needs are particularly acute in Vishakhapatnam city, neighbouring affected villages and in
Srikakulam.
 There is also need for soap, and diapers for children.
 Poor menstrual hygiene – use of cloths mostly now needs an intervention strategy
 Bathing spaces and toilets are in short numbers and hence a problem in relief camps and in water
logged areas.
 A WASH Surveillance grid needs to be put up urgently to alert any disease outbreak especially in the
close urban pockets and the remote areas as both these clusters are in high risk of rapid spread.
6.3 Shelter:
Situation Analysis
 Most of the houses are Kaccha- mud houses and some are Pucca houses, which got damaged during
storm surge.
 Affected community took shelter in the schools so schools were closed during that period (For a week or
more than that).
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages)are:
 Affected community staying in shelters is vulnerable to mosquitos, snakes and darkness.
 41% of villages surveyed indicated that they shelters were partially damaged in their village, 17% of
villages indicated that they had fully damaged shelters in their village.
 Need for non-food items have been felt in 43% villages of assessed villages during JRNA.
7% villages of total assessed 41 villages had complete shelter damages.

6.4 Health:
Situational Analysis:
 As per secondary data, there are 738 pregnant women of 7 to 9 months gestation including those
nursing care in the districts assessed.
 Drugs and essential medical reserves have been affected; the supplies in general are in shortage
and in medical camps due to lack of coordination and effective supply chain management for
medical camps.
 The key reasons for non-functionality of health facilities are due to lack of human resource and
skilled health care providers, interrupted drugs supply and other essentials and also due to
inaccessibility of health facilities by community accessing the facilities.
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are:
 The overall health infrastructure and system in AP region is moderately affected.
 There were 11 PHCs assessed across 3 districts in A.P. and only 2 PHCs been severely affected.
 Only 1 ambulance had been damaged
 Out of total 23 health camps organized, 19 (83%) of them got affected due to waterlogging.
 Equitable access to health facilities is a big concern. The lack of access to healthcare from PHC,
AWC, Rural Health Providers, attributed to facilities being affected and reduced staffing levels as
staff and their families themselves being affected.
 In almost all PHCs assessed, majority of them (96%) of the damaged portion could be restored. The
total health facilities assessed is 32 and of these, 25 of them would be functional within 15 days
(78%); and 5 (15%) of them would become functional within 30 days while 7% of them could become
functional beyond 30 days period.
 There are limited underlying health concerns in population assessed except cases of malnutrition
and communicable diseases in selective pockets of Srikakulam and Vishakhapatnam villages as
more than 90% of the village did not have such health concerns.
 Health camps are concentrated in urban pockets of assessed districts, the appropriate and equitable
health services not available to the rural during the time of the assessment.
 Health surveillance is largely missing. The organised and unorganised medical camps are not in
coordination loop and information on health surveillance and utilisation status is not being
maintained.
 Poor water, sanitation and hygiene conditions are increasing health risks for spread of
communicable diseases and epidemics.
 The appropriate measures for information and awareness of people to prevent communicable
diseases are not in place.
 Most pregnant women deliver in the private or the Govt. Hospitals, large number of which are
affected and thereby increasing the load on facilities that are operational.
 The routine immunization and neo born care is also under pressure in existing health facilities. SRH
services, RH supplies, emergency obstetric and new-born care, prevention of gender based violence
and prevention of HIV/AIDs.
 High incidence of UTI reported among women by Anganwadi workers.
 All 3 districts teams reported eye infections (maybe conjunctivitis etc.). The King George Hospital /
Victoria hospital houses 3 patients per bed during the few days before rainfall and could not cater to
people. No preparedness for dealing with the health issues.

Situation Analysis:
 During the assessment, cases of looting, theft and breaking of law & order have been reported in few
villages.
 Many villages don’t have left safe and private bathing places & latrines for women.
The findings of the JRNA assessment (in the 41 assessed villages) are:
On the basis of Joint Rapid Need Assessment collected from various sources such as affected families,
children, govt. officials at local level etc. broader information has been gathered to provide idea about needs
of people there in the community.
 Villagers have been seen pro-active in helping each other in spite of the discrimination, which is
otherwise observed in non-disaster times. Around 57% of villages were having children in state of
stress and no. of people need counselling and psychosocial support in 55% of 41 villages.
 In the affected villages, most of the pregnant women, children, aged and persons with disability
relocated in the neighbourhood habitations situated on high land areas.
 Lack of adequate and physical protection has been felt in many villages.
 Lack of sufficient hygiene material for women especially in Srikakulam and Vizianagaram Districts.
 Private bathing spaces and latrines have been found in few villages of Vishakhapatnam District.
 During the storm surge and subsequent floods, some people in few villages lost their legal
