Disaster overview: "The coordination team suggests that there are three broad geographic areas. The team has conducted field trips to two of these ?typical? areas. Many houses in the areas visited are of timber construction but there are also masonry and semi masonry buildings.  Chin State: Mountainous area severely affected by landslide and access issues. Many households whose houses were destroyed or are now in unsafe locations are obliged to find temporary accommodation until new locations are identified and support for rebuilding is available. Because houses were damaged by ground instability almost all affected houses will need to rebuilt elsewhere. Lack of useable roads is making access to affected villages for assessment and response extremely difficult.  Central plains: River flat areas where fast moving and deep flood waters have damaged houses, destroyed cropping land and food, made some locations unsafe and deposited deep mud. Some households and complete villages will need to relocate and others are waiting for the dry season for mud to dry out. These households are also obliged to wait in less than adequ ate temporary conditions. As well as this some houses are damaged and uninhabitable. Deep mud is restricting access.  Delta area: The coordination team will visit this area in next days to assess the general conditions but government and anecdotal reporting suggests extensive shelter damage..."
