1. Supporting the Humanitarian Response to the refugee influx in Cox’s Bazar District

2. Overview of REACH intervention
REACH teams arrived in CXB on Sept 22nd to support humanitarian response, in partnership with GWC
To date REACH’s has conducted assessments in spontaneous and makeshift settlements through field data collection and analysis of sat imagery (with UNOSAT)
REACH will plans to support the humanitarian response in three phases :
Phase 1: Rapid Situation Overview
Phase 2: Support to Response Planning at Site and Sector level
Phase 3: Promoting sustainable settlements

3. Phase 1: Rapid Situation Overview
What: Regular snapshot of each site/area on infrastructure
Why:
Dynamic environment of continued population influx and movement and..
Prevalence of uncoordinated humanitarian support
Where: selected refugee spontaneous sites / makeshift settlements
When: baseline sweep ongoing, moving to bi-weekly cycles

4. Phase 1: Rapid Situation Overview
How: Two sets of parallel activities for each site/zone
(a) Establishment of shelter footprint :
Identification of satellite (or UAV) imagery
Outlining and mapping of shelters
The activity is conducted with UNOSAT by 2 dedicated Geneva based staff

5. Phase 1: Rapid Situation Overview

6. Phase 1: Rapid Situation Overview
How: Two parallel activities for each site/zone
(a) Establishment of shelter footprint :
(b) Infrastructure mapping
Identification and categorisation of WASH and other infrastructure at site level
The activity is conducted through a team of trained field enumerators (currently 46, increasing to 60 +/-), and two field based REACH international staff (one Assmt / one GIS)

9. Camp/Site mapping process review
Collect Satellite Imagery
Every day, in Geneva, UNOSAT verify the availability and the quality of new satellite imagery
Analyse Satellite Imagery
Based on the available imagery, the camp/site is analysed to identify and map all existing shelters and major constructions
Collect Infrastructure Data
At field level, a team of REACH enumerator « sweep » systematically the camps/sites to collect location and data on all existing infrastructures
Map and Analyse Infrastructure data
Sat imagery analysis plus infrastructure data are overlayed through maps
Gaps are identified to inform site level planning

10. Infrastructure Mapping
EASY: Android Smart Phones loaded with Open Data Kit
Teams collect location and attribute data for infrastructure in the field (offline), then synch to Kobo Server once back to their office
WHY: Allows centralization and access to data collected by multiple people/ partners

11. Infrastructure Mapping – Kobo Server

12. Phase 2: Support to Response Planning at Site and Sector level
What: Continuation of current infrastructure mapping activities, supported by Site Management Sector
Where: Selected refugee spontaneous sites / makeshift settlements – focusing on emergent settlements south of Kutupalong
When: Beginning approx. 17 Oct, conducted in bi-weekly cycles until 31 Dec
