03 / SEEDS seeks to support
Through an integrated package of emergency shelter and WASH assistance, SEEDS will help affected households secure a drier place to sleep, store water more safely and protect scarce household resources during the most critical stage of recovery.
World Bank policy research comparing faster and later flood assistance shows that timing can improve immediate household outcomes. The findings relate to emergency cash support and demonstrate the value of speed; they are not direct forecasts of shelter or WASH kit outcomes.
The map highlights 28 affected districts that form the initial geographic envelope for rapid assessment and response prioritisation. Final assistance will be directed to verified households facing the most severe shelter, WASH and access constraints.
SEEDS seeks to provide every selected household with one emergency shelter kit and one WASH and hygiene kit, combining immediate protection with the essentials needed for safer early recovery.
| State | Households | Shelter kits | WASH kits | Locations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 6,000 | 6,000 | 6,000 | 75 |
Final household selection will remain subject to rapid assessment, physical verification, accessibility, vulnerability and duplication checks. The map marks the complete affected-district list used for initial geographic prioritisation.
SEEDS seeks to deliver 6,000 emergency shelter kits and 6,000 WASH and hygiene kits so affected families can regain basic protection, safer water storage and everyday dignity without exhausting the limited resources they need to rebuild.
