ASSAM FLOODS 2026 | STAND WITH COMMUNITIES IN CRISIS

Assam is once again facing the devastating impact of floods. Heavy rainfall and rising river levels are affecting communities, damaging homes and livelihoods, disrupting essential services and making access to food, safe drinking water and sanitation increasingly difficult.

The scale of Assam's vulnerability to flooding is significant. The state has experienced repeated and widespread floods over the years, affecting millions of people and causing extensive damage to homes, agriculture, roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure. The 2024 Assam Flood Memorandum recorded more than 3.7 million people affected during the second wave of floods alone, demonstrating the potential scale of devastation that flooding can cause across the state.

The current situation is already affecting communities in several parts of Assam. Recent Government of Assam updates have reported impacts in districts including Golaghat, Sivasagar, Charaideo and Jorhat. In Golaghat alone, 25,791 people have been reported affected by the recent floods.

For families living through this crisis, the impact is deeply personal. Homes may be damaged or destroyed. Families may lose access to food and safe drinking water. Flooding can disrupt sanitation, increase health risks and force people to leave behind their homes and livelihoods.

WHERE CASA IS FOCUSING

CASA is focusing its humanitarian response on flood-affected and vulnerable communities in Assam, prioritising families who have lost or damaged homes, those without access to safe water and sanitation, households facing food insecurity, and families whose livelihoods have been disrupted.

Our planned response includes:

• SHELTER SUPPORT:
  For families who have lost or damaged their homes, we plan to provide Shelter Kits containing tarpaulins, groundsheets, solar lanterns, smokeless stoves and mosquito nets.

• HYGIENE & SANITATION:
  For families with limited access to sanitation and essential hygiene items, Emergency Hygiene Packets will include chlorine tablets, soap, ORS, sanitiser, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, buckets and mugs.

• FOOD & NUTRITION:
  For families facing food insecurity, Dry Ration Packets will provide essential supplies including rice, wheat, cooking oil, pulses and spices.

• SAFE DRINKING WATER:
  For communities where floodwaters have contaminated local water sources, CASA plans to support access to safe drinking water through community-level water filters.

• RECOVERY & LIVELIHOODS:
  For families who have lost their primary source of income, CASA will work towards long-term recovery, rehabilitation and livelihood support, helping communities rebuild and restore sustainable sources of income.

YOUR SUPPORT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

A flood does not end when the water recedes. For affected families, recovery can take months or even years.

Your contribution can help provide a family with shelter, food, hygiene essentials and access to safe drinking water today, while also supporting their journey towards recovery and rebuilding their livelihoods tomorrow.

Stand with the people of Assam.

Together, we can help flood-affected families recover, rebuild and move forward with dignity.
