In a strong step toward rebuilding the lives of families devastated by recent floods, the Government of Sindh has initiated a comprehensive resurvey of demolished houses in flood-affected districts. This resurvey aims to identify and verify damage, helping authorities provide targeted support and fast-track housing reconstruction for thousands of displaced families.
Background: Widespread Flood Devastation
The floods that hit Sindh in recent months caused massive destruction across rural and urban areas. Entire homes were washed away, families were forced to relocate, and many communities were left without clean water, electricity, or shelter.
Recognizing the urgency of the crisis, the Sindh cabinet approved a province-wide damage reassessment to help prioritize aid and rebuild homes efficiently.
What is the Resurvey and Why It Matters
The resurvey is being led by the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) in coordination with local municipal bodies and community-based organizations. Survey teams will physically visit affected neighborhoods to:
- Verify the extent of house damage
- Document the number of displaced residents
- Assess the condition of basic services (water, power, sanitation)
This step is vital to ensure that aid is delivered fairly, and those most in need are not left out.
Who Will Benefit?
All residents whose homes were partially or fully destroyed during the floods may qualify for support. Special attention will be given to:
- Widows and women-led households
- Elderly and persons with disabilities
- Families living in temporary shelters or tents
The government's goal is to restore safe housing for all affected people, with a focus on protecting the most vulnerable.
What Kind of Support Will Be Provided?
The Sindh government has announced financial assistance and technical support for eligible families. This includes:
- Grants for house repairs or reconstruction
- Support for basic infrastructure like electricity and water supply
- Livelihood recovery for households that lost income due to the floods
More importantly, families will not have to navigate this process alone — support teams will assist in documentation and follow-up.

Voices from the Ground
Many local residents and civil society organizations have welcomed this move by the government, seeing it as a step toward long-term recovery rather than just short-term relief. Community leaders have emphasized the importance of transparency and timely action.
Final Words
This resurvey marks a turning point in Sindh’s flood recovery efforts. By focusing on accurate data, fair resource distribution, and community involvement, the government is working toward not just rebuilding homes — but restoring dignity and stability to families who have lost everything.
As implementation begins, all eyes will be on how well the plan is executed and how quickly support reaches those in need. If done right, it can be a model for disaster recovery across Pakistan.
