This District Level Sitrep is compiled by UN OCHA with sector specific contributions from cluster leads to the extent possible.

Registration and Affected Population:

As per DAO's district government registration report there is a registration of 7,597 HH representing 43,917 individuals. Of this, 6756 are Indian Nationals. This figure is counted from the 29th recognized camps and one registration center at district head quarter (of missed people). No any new registration is done after 21st September. Some new applications have been received to DAO office from missing households to get their registration. Till date, 10 applications have been formally received.

Last week, CDO circulated a notice to return the cards whoever has received double cards otherwise they will be punished as per rule. In response of that notice, upto now, 50 people have returned their cards (with ration cards) that have double.

* notes from October 1st coordination meeting

DDRC/CDO has made following strategic planning for registration and verifications:

- A team for maintaining the database by VDC, community, tole wise of the flood victims. The team members are: from NRCS, VDC secretary, police; local political person (ex chairman of VDC) in data base management team and 3 computer experts will work on this. It is planned that the final version of VDC, Ward, community, family base flood victim's database before Dashain;

- Yellow cards distributed to the victims who are shifted to new allocated camps and outsiders have green cards;

- During the database preparation and verification, its cross checking will be done on the basis voter list, citizenship, or any other legal documents;

- After Dashain festival, DDRC will announce a general notice for all (who ever living outside as well as in host families) to put their name in allocated place around their VDC. A team will be mobilized by VDC or cluster wise to register the outsiders / host families flood victims. Their registration will be done by head count methods;

- After that old cards (whoever have) will be taken and new cards will be issued;

- Once the complete database of the whole area completed, the record of Sunsari side will be sent to Saptari side and similarly the Saptari side record will be brought to Sunsari side for tally, cross checking to avoid/ delete the duplication.

- Tentative time for whole work is one month. It is guessed that all these works will be completed before next food distribution. And food will be distributed from allocated distribution points for newly registered or people who lives outside the camps and new camps.
