Abstract

• With many households losing nearly all they owned, swift humanitarian support is needed for flood victims, including food, shelter, and clothing. • Swift support to the flood victims with agricultural production inputs, especially seeds, to take advantage of the dimba season and alluvial deposits from the floods. • Agencies providing direct support to flood victims should coordinate with the Department of Disaster Management (DoDMA) to ensure equitable distribution of relief items to all victims. • Rehabilitate and strengthen infrastructure, including feeder roads, main roads, bridges, irrigation schemes, schools, and others destroyed or shaken by the floods. • Implement a permanent resettlement scheme for households in Chikwawa and Nsanje districts, especially in flood-prone areas as the occurrence, frequency, and severity of floods in Chikwawa and Nsanje is likely to continue with climate change.
