    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 Malaysian Climate Malaysia is geographically located in South East Asia, consisting of Peninsular Malaysia that shares land and maritime borders with Thailand and Singapore, while East Malaysia shares land and maritime borders with Brunei, Indonesia and Philippines. Peninsular Malaysia is covered in forested mountain ranges running from north to south, with on either side low-lying coastal plains. East Malaysia is situated on the island of Borneo, divided between coastal regions, hills, valleys and a mountainous interior. The regions equatorial climate is characterised by uniform temperatures, high humidity and copious rainfall throughout the year. Although winds in Malaysia are generally light, the country faces two monsoon seasons. The first ‘lighter’ monsoon season is from May to September, known as the Southwest Monsoon. On the other hand, the Northeast Monsoon from November to March brings heavier rainfall and winds. The east coast of Peninsular Malaysia is exposed to the Northeast Monsoon, highly vulnerable to flooding and landslides as a natural result.

    1.2 Malaysian Flood Background Natural disasters are beyond the control of human beings and cannot be predicted accurately when it occurs. Malaysia has a long history of floods as the country is exposed to monsoon rainfall all year round. More than about 10% of the country is flood-prone. The frequency of floods seem to have greatly increased in recent decades, mostly because of rapid urbanization of floodplains such as those in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Sarawak, and upstream development of hill land have rendered many areas vulnerable to hazardous flash floods. This also includes the environmental degradation such as deforestation, intensified land use and increasing population.

    The recent century has seen several heavy flash floods occur in Shah Alam, Johor, Kelantan, Perlis, Pahang and Terengganu. The last recorded major flash flood was in 2007, when several states in Peninsular Malaysia were submerged under the Northeast Monsoon rains.

    1.3 December 2014 Floods Peninsular Malaysia suffered from one of the worst floods in recent history during the last two weeks of 2014. A record number of 232,913 evacuees were registered in various evacuation centers across Peninsular Malaysia (as of 29 December 2014). However, the actual number of those affected is believed to be higher as numerous people were unable to reach evacuation centers and several evacuation centers were unregistered. The worst hit states were Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu, followed by Perak and Johor. As of 29th December 2014, Kelantan recorded 160,000 registered evacuees, followed by Pahang with 33,225, Terengganu with 31,820, Perak with 7,540 and Johor with 328 evacuees. To date, MERCY Malaysia has responded to the flood in several areas Kelantan (Kuala Krai, Pasir Mas, Tanah Merah and Rantau Panjang) and Terengganu (Kemaman and Hulu Terengganu), Perak (Parit and Bota) and Pahang (Chenor, Maran, and Kuala Tekal). The first phase of response was the deployment of needs assessment teams to Pasir Mas in Kelantan, Hulu Terengganu and Kemaman in Terengganu and Bota in Perak respectively as situations became critical. These teams,

  • MERCY Malaysia – East Coast Flood Response 2014 Report Page 6

    consisting of MERCY Malaysia staff, medical volunteers and logisticians, conducted rapid needs assessments of the situation in order to identify emergency response assistance. Information gathered from the needs assessments and coordination meetings with several partners; Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN), Jabatan Pertahanan Awam Malaysia (JPAM), Ibu Pejabat Polis Kontingen (IPK), Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat and the District Health Office, indicated that the most critical needs were food, water, shelter, hygiene supplies and medical assistance. There are 3 categories of beneficiaries affected by the flood this year:

    1. Flood affected evacuees who are staying at gazetted evacuation centres 2. Flood affected evacuees who are staying at non gazetted locations 3. Those not affected by the flood but whose homes are cut-off by the flood

    In response, MERCY Malaysia in coordination with the above mentioned partners provided food aid, distributed hygiene kits and carried out several Primary Mobile Health Clinics simultaneously in the districts of Kelantan, Terengganu and Perak. Around four hundred MERCY Malaysia volunteers, partners and donors took part in the flood operations.

    1.4 Emergency Response MERCY Malaysia initiated and executed several emergency relief response projects in three main states affected by the December 2014 floods; Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang. These response projects include:

    Provision of basic primary health care through mobile clinics

    Distribution of hygiene kits to ensure the best hygiene practices of beneficiaries staying in evacuation centres.

    Procurement and distribution of food packages to over 40 thousand people affected

    Other items such as blankets, various kitchen items, mattresses and diesel fuel

  • MERCY Malaysia – East Coast Flood Response 2014 Report Page 7

    1.5 The Recovery Phase of MERCY Malaysia Post Flood Response

    MERCY Malaysia fully transitioned the Emergency Response into the Recovery Phase as of January 8th, 2015. Early recovery stage involves steps for bringing change in the affected area with a view of ensuring long-term recovery. This is a transitional phase between immediate relief and recovery. Generally, actions in this aftermath of the floods hopes to enable basic services to resume functioning, assist affected communities with self-help efforts to repair physical damages, revive economic activities and provide support for the psychological and social being of the affected persons.

    All efforts are now focused to activities planned for post-flood recovery operations. The response will be based on needs of beneficiaries and assessment by the Relief Operations Team on the ground. The post flood activities are namely:

    1. Temporary shelter and shelter repair kits 2. Medical mission for disease surveillance & monitoring. 3. Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) programme 4. Distribution of Non-Food Items (NFI) including basic household items, back to school

    kits and various other essential items. 5. Post –flood cleanup programme

    The organisation may review the extension of humanitarian assistance upon the additional receipt of donations from generous corporations and the public. Donation appeals are currently ongoing in the organisation’s website and through social media.

    REHABILITATION & RECONSTRUCTION

    Structure of Temporary Shelter

    2.1 Temporary Shelter Project

    2.1.1 Project Description Temporary shelter would be built by MERCY Malaysia’s technical team for the residents who have completely lost their homes from the floods. The temporary homes will be built by the contracted local residents thereby providing income and resilience for the community. The Shelter Repair Kit contains essential tools that can be used for reconstruction of a basic house structure or as a supplementary kit to enhance a semi-damaged infrastructure. Our teams have just completed one of their rehabilitation and reconstruction projects, a temporary shelter in Kampung Tualang has been handed over to our beneficiary, En. Abu Bakar Said to move in. There are 3 existing local team as well as another 3 MERCY Malaysia technical team ready to begin more shelter projects once assessments are finalised. MERCY Malaysia is currently focusing on the provision of humanitarian aid to mainly two villages in Mukim Tualang, Kelantan which are Kampung Tualang and Kampung Bekok. These villages consist of 180 houses in total; the villagers experienced total damage on 21 houses in the villages caused from the floods. The electricity has been restored in these areas and our clean water programs would help assist the community on their lack of water points.

  • MERCY Malaysia – East Coast Flood Response 2014 Report Page 9

    2.1.2 Activities Materials to build the temporary shelter were purchased locally and the shelter sample began construction on the 8th January. Detailed damage assessment was also conducted to indentify the needs of each house with minor or partial damage; with the help of the UKM’s architectural faculty, 3 teams to conduct the assessments in Kg. Tualang (4 points) with a total of 24 houses assessed. On January 12th, the shelter was completed with the beneficiary ready to move in. Each temporary home requires 5-6 days to construct, the cost is estimated to be between RM10k-15k. The total damaged houses are 33 including Jalan Gaele while there are 56 partially damaged houses. We also look into the provision of either building a new external toilet or repairing the existing toilets as part of sanitation and hygiene. The affected families will be provided with household kits.

    2.2 Medical Mission for Disease Surveillance & Monitoring

    2.2.1 Project Description Health facilities clean-up activities were on hold with the local health office (Kuala Krai) in view of the inhabitable condition upon the clearance from Public Works Department (JKR). Coordination meetings at district level will be held to enable various NGOs and governmental agencies plan their rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts for the affected communities. MERCY Malaysia’s medical teams have conducted mobile clinics in various locations within the jurisdiction of Kuala Krai health district office. As of January 26, 2015, a total of 3264 patients were seen by both the mobile and static medical teams. The teams not only provided basic health care to the population affected by the floods but also collecting health surveillance data which then was shared with the local health authority. Our teams have also delivered medical supplies to the flood-affected community in Sungai Nal. Through the surveillance data, it was found that the common diseases were:

    1. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI) 2. Skin Diseases (e.g. fungal infection) 3. Loss of diabetic and anti-hypertensive medications 4. Musculoskeletal pains (aches and pains)

  • MERCY Malaysia – East Coast Flood Response 2014 Report Page 10

    2.2.2 Activities As of January 7th, there were 2 teams conducting mobile clinic in Kuala Krai (Laloh & Lata Rek) and Gua Musang. Various health centres in KD Kuala Nal, KK Laloh and KK Dabong were visited to conduct the needs assessment. A second medical team replaced the previous one on January 9th, consisting of two doctors and three nurses. The team headed to KK Bertam to set up the first two ERU tents to be used by the KK/PKD in ensuring the continuity of services in the area. Because the approval to operate in the actual building was not given yet by the Public Work Authorities (JKR), we offered temporary structure/tent/provide table and chairs/ basic equipment to ensure the clinic can start working. MERCY Malaysia started on the refurbishment of KK and KD clinics with our Emergency Response Unit tents and equipment such as BP set, thermometer, foetal doppler machines, nebulisers, tables and chairs. The mobile clinics visited a total of 66 villages as of January 26, 2015. In Kelantan, at least 3264 patients were served between December 23rd, 2014 and January 26th, 2015. On January 14th, 3 teams set out concurrently. The first team managed a static clinic in Kg. Karangan, not before stopping at KK Laloh to deliver medical items. The total number of patients seen that day in Kg Karangan was 13. The second team was tasked with delivering medical items. They collected the medical items purchased by MERCY Malaysia from Machang base-camp and delivered the supplies to Sg. Nal, and MERCY Malaysia also distributed kitchen kits, mattresses and comforters. In addition, we distributed 20 kitchen kits donated by McDonald’s to the staffs in Kuala Nal. The third team conducted assessments in Kg. Kemubu and Kg. Biak. Kg. Kemubu has a population of 1,560 with a clinic consisting of two nurses. It was found that they had a total loss on the equipments and request for cupboards for medicine. The food however, was adequate. Continuous assessments were conducted and it was found that Kg. Manjor has 50 families and 40 houses damaged. 3 patients were visited at their homes in Kg. Manjor while other patients made their way to the nearby mobile clinic in Kg. Karangan. In Kg. Pemberian, the team managed to see a total of 23 patients with 39.1% of them being treated for URTI. There are 184 families in this kampung of 1,800 villagers where 27 houses were badly damaged. The mobile clinic services concluded on January 26th, 2015 as advised by the Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Kuala Krai. Starting February 2015, all district health personnel are expected to report to work and health services should resume as pre-flood. On-going assessments are conducted currently by the local health teams to identify pockets of areas that were completely missed out or underserved during the emergency response. MERCY Malaysia will work closely with PKD to offer our continuous help and support the independency of the existing local health structure.

    2.3 Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Programs

    2.3.1 Project Description Our teams will carry out construction of an initial three tube wells to provide access to clean water supply for the flood-affected communities. MERCY Malaysia is in the process of identifying locations for the community tube well. We hope to build water points for communal use whereby the general public would have access to the facilities prepared. The water tube well will be constructed on a private owned land and the landlord will have to agree on the term to ensure the general public would have access to it. Water is a pre-existing issue in certain area in Kelantan. MERCY Malaysia plans to build tube wells in depth of 150 feet or more to ensure supplies of 6500 litres per hour to serve at least 100 families per each water point Distribution centres were identified according to needs assessments and in coordination with the District Health Office (DHO). Distribution of hygiene kits ranged from mass distribution in evacuation centres to house-to-house distribution. Diaper packets, undergarments, sanitary pads and water cartons were procured locally and distributed to those identified by the needs assessment team and DHO. MERCY Malaysia has also distributed other items such as food parcels benefitting 14,850 in Kuala Krai and 14,108 individuals in Pasir Mas respectively. To add, our teams have managed to distribute Hygiene Kits to the affected families in Kelantan, 162 sets to Tanah Merah, 1475 sets to Pasir Mas and 363 sets to Rantau Panjang. 2.3.2 Activities The first well began construction in Kg. Bekoh on the 8th January, with 90% of the materials already delivered. The well was built on land that was provided and owned by the local population and it will be for public consumption. The construction experienced a delay due to bad weather and heavy rain the next day and there was also a difficulty with locating an appropriate location to source water as most of the areas were hilly. A second tube well had to be drilled as the first tube was unsuccessful due to the soil condition. The team leader was assisted 6 local including his own team, the second drill seems promising.

    2.4 Distribution of Non-Food Items (NFI)

    2.4.1 Project Description By the 7th January, 260 set of household items including blankets, mosquito nets, eating utensils, stove, and sanitary pads. The team also managed to distribute 261 mattresses and some pre-packed hygiene items. MERCY Malaysia together with various donors would also be distributing back to school items to the affected school going children in Kg. Tualang, Kg. Bekok, and Kg. Jalan Gaele. These school items includes 2 sets of school uniform, 1 pair of shoes, 1 set of stationeries and 1 set of writing pad. School bags were also pledged by selected donors.

  • MERCY Malaysia – East Coast Flood Response 2014 Report Page 16

    2.4.2 Activities 300 (10 carton) school bags were sent by Yayasan Sime Darby on January 8th, including stationeries. 121 students of Kg. Tualang and Kg. Bekoh were the first recipients of the school items. 2 sets of uniforms and shoes are to be distributed to each affected student soon. In Kuala Krai, MERCY Malaysia has distributed 135 school bags to students at Kampung Bekok.

    2.5 Post Flood Cleaning up Programme

    2.5.1 Project Description Partnership with various corporations over the years proved their support in the provision of assistance needed in the clean-up of community areas and schools with UMW, Etiqa, MDec and many others. Most clean-up were located in the vicinity of Kota Bharu in view of the availability of water. Other areas were on-hold as either the supply of water was weak or none at all. There are two types of activities in the cleaning programme, namely the distribution of cleaning kits and cleanup activities. Cleaning kits are distributed to individual families to encourage and assist them in cleaning their own houses. Items in the cleaning kit are inclusive of a wheelbarrow, shovel, brush, room, squeegee, pail, gloves, face mask and cleaning detergent. Cleaning up activities were conducted by volunteer partners who wished to extend their assistance in cleaning either public facilities or homes. Each cleaning team procured their own cleaning sets consisting of a water pump, brooms, brushes, boots and cleaning detergents.

    2.5.2 Activities As of 7th January 2014, 2 officers arranged for UMW team cleaning up programme.
