BACKGROUND

SOURCE: TYPHOON HAIYAN – WIKIPEDIA PHILIPPINES: TYPHOON ACTION PLAN – NOVEMBER 2013

Typhoon Haiyan (known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda) is the second-deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 2,344 people.[1]

The thirtieth named storm of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season, Haiyan originated from an area of low pressure several hundred kilometers east-southeast of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia on 2 November. Tracking generally westward, environmental conditions favored tropical cyclogenesis and the system developed into a tropical depression the following day.

After becoming a tropical storm and attaining the name Haiyan at 0000 UTC on 4 November, the system began a period of rapid intensification that brought it to typhoon intensity by 1800 UTC on November 5.

By 6 November, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) assessed the system as a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale; the storm passed over the island of Kayangel in Palau shortly after attaining this strength.

it continued to intensify; at 1200 UTC on 7 November the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the storm's maximum ten-minute sustained winds to 235 km/h (145 mph), the highest in relation to the cyclone. At 1800 UTC, the JTWC estimated the system's one-minute sustained winds to 315 km/h (195 mph), unofficially making Haiyan the fourth most intense tropical cyclone ever observed.

On the morning of 8 November, category 5 Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) made a direct hit on the Philippines, a densely populated country of 92 million people, devastating areas in 36 provinces. The eye of the cyclone made its first landfall in the Philippines at Guiuan, Eastern Samar, without any change in intensity. Many cities and towns experienced widespread destruction, with as much as 90 per cent of housing destroyed in some areas. Roads are blocked, and airports and seaports impaired; heavy ships have been thrown inland. Water supply and power are cut; much of the food stocks and other goods are destroyed; many health facilities are not functioning and medical supplies are quickly being exhausted.

The cyclone caused devastation in the Philippines, particularly on Samar Island and Leyte.

AFFECTED AREA: Regions VIII (Eastern Visayas), VI (Western Visayas) and VII (Central Visayas) are hardest hit, according to current information. Regions IV-A (CALABARZON), IV-B (MIMAROPA), V (Bicol), X (Northern Mindanao), XI (Davao) and XIII (Caraga) were also affected. Tacloban City, Leyte province, with a population of over 200,000 people, has been devastated, with most houses destroyed. An aerial survey revealed almost total destruction in the coastal areas of Leyte province.

AFFECTED POPULATION: An estimated 11.3 million people in nine regions—over 10 per cent of the country’s population—are affected. At least 673,042 people are displaced by the typhoon (55 per cent are in evacuation centers, the rest in host communities or makeshift shelters). Thousands of people have been killed or are still missing. Tens of thousands suffering from injuries, with the number of confirmed casualties still rising as more areas become accessible. Pre-disaster poverty levels and malnutrition rates in Regions VI, VII and VIII were already higher than the national average.

Synopsis:

Northeast Monsoon affecting Northern Luzon.

Forecast:

The regions of Ilocos, Cordillera and Cagayan Valley will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with light rains. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the east to northeast will prevail over Luzon and Eastern Visayas and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the northeast to east with slight to moderate seas.

CURRENT SITUATION - HEALTH HEALTH• Several medical teams, both domestic and international, have been

deployed to provide emergency and basic medical and surgical services to affected areas in Eastern Visayas, the hardest hit by typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan). These teams are self-sufficient and will pose no burden to host communities.

DEPLOYMENTS• DOH has deployed more than a hundred doctors and nurses that

are treating the injured and sick in Tacloban, Bantayan, Medelin – and more are positioned to take off and set-up satellite medical stations throughout Regions 6, 7, and 8. These teams have been accompanied by more than P25 million worth of essential medicines and supplies

• WHO Representative to the Philippines announced that “self-sufficient medical teams from Australia, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Japan, Norway, Russia and Spain are already in the Philippines and logistical arrangements are underway to ensure that they reach affected areas. There are offers for help from Spain, Israel, the United Kingdom and Singapore

• Priority for deployment will be teams that can set up hospitals with capacity for surgery and are equipped with generators and supplies for their teams to last from 10-15 days. WHO is working closely with the Department of Health to facilitate positioning of these international teams in strategic areas to augment the local medical teams.

SUPPLIES:Several cargoes of medicines, supplies and equipment have now reached Tacloban via Cebu and Catbalogan, Samar. Hopefully these will reach those who need them especially that alternative routes of transport were made available and provided by partners like PAL and AIR21.

HOSPITALS: Hospital tents provided by international teams are being established in strategic areas to complement hospital services post-Yolanda as almost all health facilities sustained major structural damage. COMMNUICATIONS: Communication remains a problem. DOH has requested that the restoration of communication lines be prioritized for DOH to enable them to get immediate feedback from the field. In the meantime, DOH is coordinating with Telecoms Without Borders to help in this aspect .

CODES:• A Code Blue has been activated in all regions, meaning

medical personnel in the regional offices will go on 24-hour duty.

• Code White has been activated for all hospitals, meaning hospitals should be ready with standby response

HEALTH

Preliminary reports indicate that health infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed in many areas, disrupting the delivery of essential health services. The regional hospital in Tacloban was hit by a storm surge and much of its medical equipment was washed away. An estimated 660,000 displaced people need essential health services.

NEED• Health infrastructures are severely damaged in the worst

affected areas and medical supplies are low. • According to NDRRMC, 3,853 people have been injured, with

numbers expected to rise as more areas become accessible. • An oral polio vaccination campaign is necessary but is hampered

by lack of cold chain capacity. • Emergency surveillance systems needs to be established. The

population is at increased risk of tetanus as well as outbreaks of acute respiratory infections, measles, leptospirosis and typhoid fever

• There is no delivery of routine health services in affected areas, as well as lack of medicine, surgical and general medical supplies.

• Most drugstores have been looted and medicines, including family planning supplies, are urgently required, particularly in Tacloban City.

WATER - SANITATION – HYGIENE (WASH)

OCHA SITREP 6 - 12 NOV 2013

Initial reports indicate that water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services have been disrupted or destroyed. Several water treatment units are being deployed. However, these cannot service all the affected areas. As most sources of water are likely to be contaminated, tankered water is essential and water containers are required for safe storage.

Toilets are either damaged or cannot be used due to lack of water. Open defecation will be rampant, leading to a high risk of disease outbreaks. Temporary learning spaces and child-friendly spaces will require WASH supplies and facilities

NEEDS: • Heavy equipment is needed for debris clean-up. • All Water Districts in Leyte are non-operational. Many water supplies are

NEED • 46 Million USD is needed to address the immediate shelter response projects

defined in the Haiyan Action Plan-total needs of the shelter sector are still being assessed.

• There is a need to quickly support shelter early recovery including debris removal, salvaging coco lumber, and transitional and semi-permanent construction.

• Disseminate customs processing guidance for donated good to expedite the arrival of donations to the field.

• Based on initial data, 243,595 houses are damaged (131,106 are totally destroyed and 112,489 partially damaged).

• There is an urgent need for tarpaulins, tents and non-food items. • A cross-cluster approach is required to institute early recovery activities that

feed into shelter projects, such as debris removal, salvaging coco lumber, and construction of transitional and semi-permanent shelters.

RESPONSE: • 504 ShelterBox tents have now arrived in Manila, Philippines. Distribution of this

aid will begin as soon as it has cleared customs. 224 ShelterBoxes and 576 ShelterBox tents are currently en route to Cebu, Philippines with airfreight courtesy of DFID.
