TYPHOON HAIYAN: ONE YEAR ON | DONOR REPORT

Global Red Cross EffortsOn November 8, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan left a devastating humanitarian impact on more than 16 million people. Within hours following the disaster, the Red Cross was on the ground providing urgently needed relief and support.

One year on, the Red Cross continues to provide aid, implementing recovery programs in affected communities. Red Cross recovery work has begun and will support shelter repair and rebuilding; providing families with the necessary means to generate income and improve their pre-disaster living conditions; water, sanitation and hygiene promotion; health and care services; and supporting the Philippine Red Cross in emergency preparedness and enhancing their ability to respond to future disasters.

Canadian Red Cross Efforts In addition to contributing to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), ongoing Canadian Red Cross support includes partnering with the Spanish and German Red Cross since January 2014. The Canadian Red Cross has begun to provide early recovery support to affected populations of Typhoon Haiyan, specifically in the provinces of Aklan, Leyte, Cebu and Palawan. This support will assist communities through rebuilding and reconstruction of housing, public infrastructure, and water and sanitation facilities; provide immediate and longer-term livelihood support, such as equipment for farmers; and strengthen communities’ preparedness for future disasters. The support and relationship between the Canadian and Philippine Red Cross Societies has not only provided immediate assistance to Filipinos in need, but continues to ensure that communities are stronger, safer and more resilient to future disasters.

Road to Recovery


Strengthening Capacity and Emergency Field Hospital ReadinessFollowing the disaster, the Canadian Red Cross responded immediately, thanks to support from the Strategic Partnership with the Government of Canada, by deploying a mobile field hospital along with a team of trained aid workers, to provide critical life-saving care to those affected. While present in the city of Ormoc, the Canadian Red Cross field hospital worked closely with local health care staff and the Philippine Red Cross to admit 1, 226 patients, perform 114 surgeries and support 418 births in the weeks following the disaster.

To date, the Canadian Red Cross has concluded its training with staff and volunteers from the Philippine Red Cross, and in February 2014, handed over the field hospital. This contribution includes equipment from the emergency response unit and locally procured medical and technical supplies, which will allow the Philippine Red Cross to provide basic health care to a community of 30,000 people in a future emergency. The Canadian Red Cross continues to work with the Philippine Red Cross to sustain their ability to provide timely and effective health care to Filipinos affected by future disasters.

In addition, the Canadian Red Cross is also working with the Philippine Red Cross on implementing a program which aims to provide training to a network of Red Cross volunteers in every chapter of the Philippine Red Cross society. These volunteers will be trained with the skills to respond immediately to all types of emergencies and will be able to support their communities through social and health services, disaster risk reduction and safety trainings.

Not only does the support from the Canadian public and Canadian Government allow the Red Cross to deliver an immediate and much needed life-saving intervention after the typhoon hit the country, but it also contributes to strengthening the capacity of the Philippine Red Cross to respond to future disasters. Looking forward, the Philippine Red Cross will now be able to deploy a field hospital and deliver emergency health care hours after a disaster, enhancing the existing local capacity to meet urgent needs of affected communities.

Global Red Cross response and recovery by the numbers


Manuel Beron is 48 years old and lives with his wife and seven children. Before Typhoon Haiyan hit, Manuel was a farmer.

Manuel’s home and livelihoods were destroyed in the aftermath of the disaster that struck the Philippines.

“During Typhoon Haiyan, I felt like it was the last day of my life,” said Manuel.

One year later, Manuel and his family feel much more secure and happy after receiving shelter assistance from the Red Cross.

“With this assistance from the Red Cross, I can now use my own money to buy food for my family. I do not need to spend that money to repair my home. Now I can see that the Red Cross has the ability and the power to help Filipino people that need assistance.”
