Pakistan: Floods 2022 Event Analysis, Swat
Pakistan experienced heavy rains and high temperatures during the monsoon season 2022. This caused major floods and resulted in losses of lives and damage across the country. Flash floods in the mountainous terrains of Swat Valley washed away entire road sections, bridges and other infrastructure. Switzerland’s contribution with the Event Analysis will provide learnings for better preparedness for future disasters and allow to derive concrete "build back better" measures.

| Contesto | More than 33 million people have been affected by the 2022 floods in Pakistan and over 1600 people lost their lives. Many homes and infrastructure have been destroyed. Flash floods in the mountainous areas of Swat Valley (northern parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) washed away entire road sections, bridges and other infrastructure. Pakistan’s Post Disaster Needs Assessment supported by ADB, EU, UNDP and WB estimates at least USD 16.3 billion for reconstruction and rehabilitation. The remote area of Swat Valley is especially vulnerable to natural hazards and often neglected by the international community. As the Government-led reconstruction is going, learning from the 2022 flood events is crucial to get an understanding on how the event unfolded and what are the flood related risks in the new situation. |
