Updated Progress Dashboards: Nutrition Cluster and Child Protection AoRs

MIMU has been providing dedicated webpage service for clusters and areas of responsibility (AoRs) to share their key resources.

This week, the Nutrition Cluster and Child Protection AoR released updated progress dashboards that track achievements against the indicators in the Myanmar Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) 2025.

Despite significant funding challenges, only about 10 percent of the Nutrition Cluster’s required budget has been covered so far, these groups have been working hard, with the Nutrition Cluster already reaching 31 percent of its targeted population.

New Page for Emergency Response Preparedness Working Group (ERP WG)

The humanitarian community in Myanmar has established the ERP WG in an effort to reinforce its readiness to respond flexibly to a range of potential hazards despite these new uncertainties.

The ERP WG provides a platform for stakeholders (including CSOs, international and national NGOs, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and UN agencies,) to jointly prepare for effective and efficient humanitarian responses to potential future hazards affecting Myanmar, mitigate the impact of disasters and save as many lives as possible from preventable causes.

To that end, this dedicated page on the MIMU website will serve as the central hub to support the Working Group’s coordination, planning, information sharing, and advocacy at both national and local levels.

Visualising Water Levels of Dams Across Myanmar

Effective monitoring of water levels, whether for rivers or man-made water retention structures like dams, is important for flood preparedness and response, particularly during Myanmar’s monsoon season. The newly launched Dam Water Level Dashboard by Myanmar Geoinformatics Society complements the River Water Level Dashboard and provides an interactive way to monitor the current status and short-term trends of water levels across dams countrywide.

New Open Access Paper on 28 March Earthquake

In a new paper titled “The 28 March 2025 Mw 7.8 Myanmar Earthquake: Preliminary Analysis of an ∼480 km Long Intermittent Supershear Rupture”, scientists from Southern University of Science and Technology - SUSTech, UC Santa Cruz and Caltech share new details about the devastating earthquake, which caused widespread and severe damage in Myanmar and neighboring countries such as Thailand. The earthquake ruptured about 480 kilometers of the Sagaing Fault that extends north-south through the central part of the country.

Inle Lake Post-Disaster Environmental Assessment and Rehabilitation Plan

The Inle Lake region has been significantly affected by two major natural disasters in rapid succession. In September 2024, severe flooding caused by intensified Typhoon Yagi inundated large swathes of land surrounding the lake, damaging homes, farmlands, and critical infrastructure. Just six months later, on March 28, 2025, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck the Mandalay Region, causing widespread structural impacts and compounding the vulnerabilities of already strained communities in and around Inle Lake.

A new report titled, "Inle Lake Post-Disaster Environmental Assessment and Rehabilitation Plan", was developed by E Guard Environmental Services Co., Ltd. (E Guard) and offers a comprehensive evaluation of the damages sustained, the vulnerabilities exposed, and the opportunities for targeted recovery and sustainable development. It presents detailed findings on environmental degradation, infrastructure damage, displacement, public health risks, and disruptions to water and sanitation systems.
