FLASH floods and landslides triggered by heavy rains dumped by a typhoon have killed 20 people and left three missing in the Philippines, the country's disaster agency said yesterday. The weather bureau said Typhoon Kujira was centred off the coast of the southeastern province of Catanduanes in Luzon island and was slowly moving to the northeast, with maximum sustained winds of 120 kph near the centre. Among the dead are a 2-month-old girl whose house collapsed and a 1-year-old girl who died of injuries from a landslide. Thousands of residents were evacuated to schools and government offices at the weekend. The central province of Albay, about 550km from the capital Manila, declared a state of calamity at the weekend. Officials pegged the damage to infrastructure and agriculture caused by the typhoon at 148.77 million pesos ($4.5 million). Most of the farm damage was to rice and corn crops. Landslides and flash floods are common across the Philippines during the monsoon months from May to November. But weather officials said they were surprised with the high rainfall levels in the summer months of March and April.."May 7: "At least 24 people have been killed and three are missing in the northern Philippines after a powerful typhoon swept through the area, officials have said.Typhoon Cha-hom packed winds of 120kmh when it made landfall in Pangasinan province north of Manila overnight on Thursday, dumping heavy rains and uprooting trees.The storm has triggered landslides, which killed nine people in Kiangan town in Ifugao province.At least 12 people died in Pangasinan, an area that has been isolated by flooded roads and toppled trees, Gilbert Teodoro, Philippines defence secretary, said.Cha-hom rapidly weakened into a tropical storm after crossing the mountains of Cordillera and Sierra Madre, forecasters said, and was heading towards China late on Friday.With many roads flooded, several towns were cut off during the storm and authorities struggled to move hundreds of residents to safety.Soldiers have been sent into some areas to clear the debris left by the typhoon, Teodoro said. In central Iloilo province, a passenger ferry ran aground amid strong winds and rough seas but the coast guard rescued all 80 people aboard, local radio reported. Another 1,000 passengers and 71 vessels were stranded in ports because of the storm.Cha-hom is the second cyclone to hit the Philippines in the space of a week.Last weekend at least 27 people died and 55,000 had to be evacuated from their homes as tropical storm Kujira lashed the same region of the country.About 20 typhoons and storms hit the Philippines each year, but forecasters said they usually do not appear this early and that the extreme weather may have been caused by global warming 121.36 18.03 x 0 13 1 46 2009-05-03T00:00:00.000 829 2956 3476 45 USA Alaska, Yukon Watershed and river, other locations 2009-05-01T00:00:00.000 2009-06-07T00:00:00.000 38 snowmelt 1.5 790450 7.6537492594652425 June 12: " President Obama has issued a disaster declaration for several parts of Alaska affected by spring flooding and ice jams, ordering federal aid to help in recovery efforts.Federal funds will be available to affected residents in the Alaska Gateway, Kuspuk, Yukon Flats and the Yukon-Koyukuk regional education attendance areas.The government says assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs and low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses.Federal funds also are available to state and local governments in the Alaska Gateway, Kuspuk, Lower Kuskokwim, Yukon Flats and Yupiit attendance areas and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.Federal officials say damage surveys continue, and more areas may become eligible for assistance.June 7: "WORST: Even 30-year residents can't recall a flood as bad as 2009...As the ice dams on the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers began to break loose last week allowing floodwaters to subside, residents of the Alaska villages hit hardest began assessing the damages to their families as well as to their communities."

"The runway is operational."... most of the remaining residents in the southwest Alaska village of 350 are staying at the local school. Also vulnerable is the Yukon River community of Stevens Village, 90 miles northwest of Fairbanks. State responders arrived there Saturday afternoon and an evacuation of about 30 women and children was under way as a precaution. They were being flown to Fairbanks. A massive ice jam in a canyon eight miles downriver was causing waters to rise swiftly around the village. The river washed over the nearest road Saturday afternoon, said Corey Bogel, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.Fisher said that as responders flew to the village, they spotted a 60-mile run of ice heading downriver toward the jam."It could get worse," he said. Meanwhile, cleanup continues in Eagle just west of the Canadian border after a devastating flood caused by ice jams from the Yukon River caused extensive damage.

There have been no reports of serious injuries in the flood...The governor on Wednesday had declared a disaster for the flooded areas, including the Susitna River, which runs through her hometown of Wasilla near Anchorage. While no serious damage was reported in the Wasilla area, officials said some nearby roads were closed because of high water, keeping people from their homes.With rivers continuing to rise, forecasters have issued flood warnings and watches for towns and villages spanning the state, the nation's largest by area.Every building in tiny Eagle Village was destroyed, authorities said, and upward of 100 people were evacuated from homes there and in the nearby town of Eagle. Minor flooding also hit at least nine other communities. The floods resulted from a rare combination of unusually heavy winter snow and a spring warm-up over the past week that saw temperatures soar into the 70s -- a good 20 degrees higher than normal for this time of year. National Weather Service forecasters said temperatures have dropped to seasonably cool levels and are likely to stay that way for the next week or so, which they say could ease some of the flooding.One of the hardest-hit waterways has been the Yukon River. At 2,300 miles long, it is Alaska's lengthiest river. Melting snow in the Yukon's Canadian headwaters poured more water than normal into the river. At the same time, the warmer temperatures caused giant chunks of ice to break up and form a massive jam just upstream from the communities of Eagle (population about 140) and Eagle Village (population about 70), said Robin Radlein, a regional hydrologist for the weather service in Anchorage." -142.30000000000001 65.430000000000007 x 1 13 1 45 2009-05-01T00:00:00.000 829 2955 3475 44 FL-2009-000089-BRA Brazil Maranhao, Bahia states; northern Brazil 2009-04-22T00:00:00.000 2009-05-14T00:00:00.000 23 39 408000 Heavy Rain 2 524400 7.3824205146996205 May 18: TRIZIDELA DO VALE, Brazil — Swelled rivers that have flooded homes to their rooftops and forced more than 260,000 people from their homes in northeastern Brazil will probably take a few more weeks to recede, Brazilian authorities said over the weekend.The intense flooding has paralyzed large swaths of this sweltering tropical region, where schools and government buildings have been closed for weeks and whole towns are almost underwater. While water levels have receded somewhat in recent days, showers continued through the weekend. That further complicated the timeline for the drenched areas to dry out and for residents to return to their homes. With only marginal assistance arriving from the federal government, local authorities in some of Brazil’s poorest states say they are at the breaking point. “The water level is not dropping fast enough,” said Jânio de Sousa Freitas, the mayor of Trizidela do Vale, one of the worst-hit towns. “We are facing a critical situation. We don’t have the resources to cope with the heavy demand for basic goods, from food to medicines to mattresses.”The flooding, which began in April, has been the third-worst in the past 49 years, based on the amount of rainfall in a single month, said Lincoln Muniz Alves, a climatologist in São Paulo for the Center for Weather Forecasting and Climate Studies.It is the second time in six months that intense flooding has turned into a regional disaster. In November, torrential rains in Santa Catarina, in the south, caused landslides that left 135 people dead and swept more than 78,000 from their homes, affecting some 60 towns.“What we are observing in the last few years in Brazil is a pattern of droughts and more intense rains,” said Carlos Nobre, a climatologist in São Paulo at the National Institute of Space Research.Colder temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which climatologists have called the La Niña effect, are colliding with warmer temperatures in the tropical southern Atlantic Ocean, one possible explanation for the extreme weather patterns, he said.Heavy rains continue to force more people from their homes. Civil-defense authorities said Sunday that the number of homeless or displaced people in the state of Maranhão had climbed beyond 116,000, with 10 dead and 93 towns in a state of emergency. ""May 14:Thousands of Brazilians returned home yesterday following devastating floods but water kept on rising in some places and civil defence officials used helicopters, trucks and boats to deliver aid to victims in isolated communities.The death toll dropped from 42 to 39. The number of homeless decreased from 300,000 to 267,000 as residents headed home in some of the 11 states affected by the floods - an area more than five times the size of New Zealand. But waters were still rising in some places and authorities warned that the situation remained a threat because the weather forecast calls for more downpours.A major aid effort was still under way, with civil defence officials delivering food and drinking water to isolated communities surrounded by muddy water and newly formed lakes.Flood victims gathered around helicopters dropping off aid in the hard-hit state of Maranhao, and Globo TV showed images of people living on the roofs of homes inundated with water because they feared looters would strike if they headed to shelters.Rain was still falling in some parts of the zone stretching from the Amazon to normally dry northeastern Brazil, which has experienced its worst flooding in at least two decades. Meteorologists have blamed the rainfall that led to the floods on an Atlantic Ocean weather system that usually moves on in March but didn't budge this year.Water was still rising yesterday in sprawling Amazonas state, and low-lying parts of the jungle city of Manaus were flooding as the mighty Rio Negro river that feeds the Amazon approached a record set in 1953." "May 10: Floodwaters receded some in inundated towns across northern Brazil on Sunday, but the number of homeless rose above 300,000 and two people were missing after an overloaded canoe overturned in swift waters.Forty deaths had been confirmed in northern Brazil's worst flooding in decades, fed by two months of unusually heavy rains in a zone stretching from deep in the Amazon to normally arid areas near the Atlantic coast." May 8: "Northern Brazil's worst floods in decades have driven 218,000 people from their homes to seek refuge wherever they can, packing onto flatbed trucks and braving rivers teeming with deadly reptiles in a scramble for higher ground. Already, 36 people have been killed in the flooding, sparked by unusually heavy rains that have been falling for two months on 10 of Brazil's 26 states. Three times the size of Alaska, the affected area stretches from the normally wet rainforest to coastal states known for lengthy droughts. Meteorologists blame an Atlantic Ocean weather system that typically moves on by April and they forecast weeks more of the same....Some shelters were already packed with people, pets and livestock, and had little food or medical supplies.

Scorpions congregated on the same high ground as people escaping the rising water...Authorities worried about thousands of people isolated for days with little food or clean water, rushing aid to towns and cities. In some places, aid was stuck because there were no local workers to distribute it...Rivers were still rising as much as a foot (30 centimeters) a day in Maranhao. The surging torrents wrecked bridges and made it too dangerous for relief workers to take boats onto some waterways. Globo TV said planes were unable to land in remote areas of Piaui state and roads were impassable, leaving boats as the only option because helicopters were not available" April 27, 2009: "Floods and mudslides from heavy rains in northeastern Brazil have driven more than 33,000 people from their homes and killed three, including an infant.

As unusually heavy seasonal rains hit Namibia and neighbouring Angola earlier this year, the waters silently filled the oshanas.Once they were full, even more rain connected the oshanas to form vast shallow lakes stretching for kilometres and taking months to dry up. At least 102 people have died since January in the worst flooding since 1972, which has affected about 600 000 people across northern Namibia.Namibia's government says it will cost about two billion Namibian dollars ($240-million) to clean up and repair infrastructure to prevent future disasters. "I have lost all my millet crop because the flood put my field under water for weeks," said Hileni Amunyela, a middle-aged widow living near one of the region's few main roads. "It is too late now to plough with my two oxen and plant again," she said as she looked over the blackened plant stalks that had only grown knee-high when the floods hit in February. 20 April: "The United Nations and its agencies are rushing to provide urgent assistance to victims of heavy flooding, which has claimed over 150 lives so far in Angola, Namibia, Madagascar and Zambia, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).In Angola, the UN is supporting government efforts, with the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) seeking to improve access to safe drinking water and providing much-needed items and sanitation facilities to people seeking shelter in relocation camps. The World Health Organization (WHO) has sent staff to help the local authorities to assess the needs of flood-hit populations. Since the beginning of 2009, torrential rains in Southern Africa have swollen rivers to levels not recorded in last four decades and claimed over 150 lives. According to a recent report, over 600,000 others affected by the heavy rains, have left over 200,000 in need of food aid over the next two months.OCHA warned that the flooding, which has also affected Botswana, Malawi and Mozambique, could worsen as the region is hit with higher than average rainfall over the next few months. Authorities have predicted that the risk of outbreaks of water-borne diseases is increasing". 16 April: "The death toll from deadly floods in southern Africa has risen to 145, aid workers and officials said Thursday, with hundreds of thousands of people affected by the high waters. In Angola the death toll jumped from 24 last week to over 60 this week, after months of heavy rains and flooding in the south of the country, General Eugenio Laborinho, head of the National Service for Civil Protection. Aid workers fear the waters will cause even more damage as the floods move south across the border into Namibia, where the death toll already stands at 85.The floods have hit Angola, Namibia and Zambia the hardest, with a total of 781,000 people suffering damages to their homes or crops in the three countries, according to national estimates. More than half of the victims are in Zambia, although national authorities there have not reported any fatalities. Months of heavy rains have also raised fears of water-borne diseases, with the United Nations reporting nearly 500 cases of cholera so far this year in Angola." 9 April: "More than 350,000 people have been affected by the flood while 13 000 were displaced. Their immediate needs include shelter, access to clean water, sanitation facilities and health care, food and medicine" 30 March 2009: "THE rainy season is coming to an end but leaving behind a trail of destruction characterised by flooding and damaged roads and bridges in most parts of Zambia.The hard hit provinces are Western and North-Western provinces where floods have caused severe damage to crops and infrastructure in districts. Shang'ombo District in Western Province is reportedly the worst hit in the country and remains cut off because of damaged roads and bridges that cannot be repaired immediately until the water level recedes.Reports coming from Shang'ombo are that efforts to reconnect the district to the rest of Zambia are being frustrated by floods where earth moving equipment has been stuck."..Continuous floods have resulted in floods in some parts of the southern African country with Western Province being the most affected. Hundreds of people have been displaced while crops washed away.The country's Disaster Management and Mitigation said the number of affected districts has increased from the initial 15 to 21.... The United Nations on Tuesday raised the number of people hit by floods in Angola to 200 000 and warned that numbers are "likely to increase" amid the worst floods lashing the region in more than four decades.The latest figures marked a 40 000 rise from estimates of 160 000 given last Friday by the United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.Heavy rains and floods have also affected up to 350 000 people in Namibia, with Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Botswana and Zimbabwe also hit by the floods."The flooding in southern African is intensifying," said OCHA spokesperson Elizabeth Byrs, adding the floods "are the worst in the region since 1963".

The last time a similar flood swept past this place those two villages were sunk, so we expect the same thing to happen, looking at the weight and the speed with which the flood is going," Modimoopelo said. The Chobe officer told the Monitor that the Botswana-Zambia-Namibia-Zimbabwe crossing point known as Kazungula, has also been impassable for two days. "We have been working around the clock to pour more concrete so that we can raise the road level. We hope in the next 30 minutes cars will start crossing between our countries", Modimoopelo said on Friday.Two lodges, Tsaro Lodge and Thebe Lodge have also been submerged in floods, according to the Chobe District official.Meanwhile in the Ngami District alone, 61.28 hectares of ploughed fields have been submerged. All in all 38 ploughing fields have been submerged, Ngamiland District Commissioner, Bernadette Malala, said in a phone interview from the Okavango Delta where they continue to monitor the situation and rescue people.District Commissioner Malala says she expects the number of people displaced by the flooding Okavango to rise by another 500, because another village, Xamasere, is heavily under threat. The village is still being monitored.She said two lodges situated along the Delta have been submerged while another facility remains heavily under threat.

"From floods like this, you get waterborne diseases like cholera and malaria," he said. "And this is a big worry for us." "The government is doing its best to get some latrines constructed and we are giving out water purification tables, oral rehydration sachets and jerry cans." A number of roads have been cut off and some villages and towns are only accessible by boat. Thousands of hectares of farmland have also been destroyed and many of cows and goats have drowned...The landlocked province of Cunene, on the Namibian border, is one of Angola's poorest provinces where the majority of the population rely on subsistence farming.". Also, from Namibian source: "THE scale of this year's floods is unprecedented both in terms of force and size and so too should be our national response to mitigate the effects thereof. Our national response to this natural disaster has to be full scale, adequate and equally long term, if we are to save lives and property now and in future. Already, people have died and property destroyed by the force of the water in the northern regions. It is not far-fetched to speculate that more lives could still be lost unless appropriate measures are taken to save lives. The floods mainly cover the four northern regions of Oshana, Omusati, Ohangwena and parts of Oshikoto as well as the Kavango and Caprivi regions. Latest indications are that the Kavango River is swelling with mass water. Its force has led huge volumes of water to spill into homes that are now submerged by water. Up to 36 or more homesteads at Sikondo village in the Kapako constituency of the Kavango Region are under water.
