On 9 July 2019, the flood in Assam started due to continuous rains. In this first phase of the disaster response, Team Responsenet and its partners provided relief assistance to over 555 affected families in 13 villages with humanitarian supplies. The focus was on supplying food and safe drinking water and providing materials to improve living conditions in relief camps in the affected areas. With the support of partners, we also provided protection services to vulnerable women and children.
