Disaster Declared:
08/20/2004

Brief Description:
In 2004, monsoon flooding in South Asia has killed more than 1,800 people and affected more than 42 million others.  In response, the U.S. Government (USG) has provided more than $8.5 million to assist flood-affected communities in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. Of this total, USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) has programmed approximately $805,000 toward emergency relief activities.

OFDA also supports ongoing flood preparedness and mitigation activities in South Asia, including flood monitoring and forecasting and pre-positioning of emergency relief supplies. This assistance totals approximately $3.1 million since October 2001.
