0.1       HAZARD RISK SCENARIO AND PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS

 

0.1.1   Identified Hazards for Planning Assumptions: Flood, collapse of artificial or natural impoundments, drought, epidemics and crises.

 

Multi Risk Scenario

Best case scenario

Pockets of disasters across the country affecting less than 5000 people

Most probable scenario

Identified disasters across Nigeria affecting between 10,000 people

Worst case scenario

Any of the identified disasters and its secondary threats affecting up to 500,000

Table 1: Disaster Scenarios

0.1.2 Scenarios and Planning Assumptions

 

 

 

Probability of Occurrence

Flood

Highly probable, based on meteorological information and research on the imminent collapse of Lake Nyos and other human/nature induced activities

Drought

Highly probable due to flood 2010, meteorological prediction for 2011 and crop failure recorded for 2010

Conflicts (Political unrest/ethno religious crises)

Highly probable based on 2011 electoral events, thuggery/militia activities electoral campaign activities/political violence and ethno-religious issues

Epidemics and other health issues/events

Highly probable, based on recent epidemic trends 2010 and 2011, malnutrition especially in Sahelian States and as secondary threats

Impact

  • 10,000 people likely to be affected
  • Road networks destroyed
  • Bridges washed off
  • Farmlands flooded: (acreage?)
  • Loss of livestock
  • Destruction of infrastructure (schools,

houses, health facilities)

  • Pollution of water sources
  • Disease epidemics Cholera, CSM etc.
  • Overall reduction in national productivity
  • Food insecurity
  • Regional migration (north-south)
  • Loss of livelihoods
  • Traumatisation

Geographical areas

Flood

Most parts of the country, including communities bordering River Katsina Ala and River Benue  (that will be affected by Lake Nyos collapse), River Niger and communities down streams of major dams in the country

Drought

North West, North East

Conflicts

Most parts of the country (especially NE and SS)

Epidemics

Most parts of the country, especially NE,NW and NC,
