2. BACKGROUND
Typhoon Haiyan (known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda) is the seconddeadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 3,681 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
percent 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.
SOURCE: TYPHOON HAIYAN – WIKIPEDIA
PHILIPPINES: TYPHOON ACTION PLAN – NOVEMBER 2013
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 10-12.9 million people in nine regions—over
10 percent of the country’s population—are affected. As of 17 November over 4
million people are displaced by the typhoon (55 percent 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. Predisaster poverty levels and malnutrition rates in Regions VI, VII and VIII were already
higher than the national average.

•
The lack of access to safe water, overcrowding and displacement pose
serious risk of outbreaks of communicable diseases. Disease
surveillance needs to be strengthened.
•
Establishing temporary points for delivery of health services is critical
as infrastructure is damaged and people do not have access to medical
care.
•
Medical teams require fuel, water purification and safe
accommodation.
•
The breakdown in communication facilities in many affected areas has
hampered reporting and planning for reproductive health activities.

of Typhoon Haiyan, one is treating the sick, injured and those needing
antenatal and postnatal surgery in Tacloban. The other is on board a
British naval vessel, the HMS Daring, and will be deployed by chopper
to meet the medical needs of those living in remote islands severely hit
by the Typhoon.
•
ACTS WORLD RELIEF has a First Response team of four that has been
in the Philippines networking and establishing logistics for the medical
team. They are assessing at the SDA hospital in Cebu as the hub base
camp, and organizing three helicopters, two airplanes and a speed boat
to take medical and emotional care teams to outlying devastated
islands for emergency care. Team 2 is now deployed which is directed

• AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TEAM: A 50-bed field hospital now
serves as the surgical hub for relief operations in Tacloban City. Has X-ray
facility, two operating rooms, five triage tents, and supplies for 4,000
patients and 200 surgical operations. Staffed by 37 doctors, nurses,
logisticians, environmental health specialists, and pharmacists. More than a
hundred patients treated there in the two days since it has been running,
the Australian.
• The INTERNATIONAL SEARCH AND RESCUE GERMANY has a established a
field hospital in Palo
• In most areas where MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES is working—Panay,
Guiuan, Ormoc, Tacloban, and Burauen—the health services have been
severely disrupted and MSF is focusing on restoring quality primary health
care and hospital services. In Guiuan, a tent hospital has been put in place
on the premises of the damaged reference hospital, while in Tacloban, an
inflatable hospital will be set up this week and will provide all services
including emergency room, inpatient department, and operating theater.
At the moment, women with complicated deliveries have nowhere to
deliver safely or undergo a Caesarean section, so MSF teams will urgently
set up maternity, obstetrics and gynecology units.

17. FIELD HOSPITALS / MEDICAL TEAMS
• INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CORPS ERT has been providing
services in GUIUAN, where the typhoon first made landfall.
• Their reports indicate that approximately 90% of structures are
destroyed, and 91 deaths have been recorded.
• Of the 5 health facilities present in Guiuan, 3 have been
completely destroyed. Limited health services have resumed in
the remaining two centers, with International Medical Corps
staff supporting one.
• One week on from the typhoon, the number of trauma and
injury cases has decreased, and the demand for health services
has started to shift towards more minor injuries, including
infected wounds.
• There is also an increased demand for primary care, with high
numbers of upper respiratory infections and a lack of drugs for
chronic illnesses. It was also noted that the lack of
power, telecommunication coverage and fuel shortages are
affecting the ability to provide health services. Satellite phones
provide inconsistent services, and staff are faced with the
difficulties in charging equipment.
• With International Medical Corps' Emergency Operations Center
established in Cebu and all of the 11-person team present incountry, the ERT has been focused on developing key
partnerships, creating a logistics hub, identifying additional local
medical staff, and deploying those staff to provide direct
medical care.

bacteria can enter the body through a deep cut. The bacteria are
everywhere in the environment and are found in soil, dust, and
manure.
RISK FACTORS
Dirty open wounds in individuals who have not been immunized with
the tetanus vaccine or who have not received the tetanus booster
vaccine as recommended.
SYMPTOMS
The symptoms usually start 3-21 days after coming into contact with
the causative bacteria. Symptoms include painful tightening of the
muscles. Death can occur without life-saving treatment.
Some of the common symptoms include:
• Headache
• Jaw cramping
• Fever
• Trouble swallowing
• Fast heart rate and high blood pressure
• Seizures

http://www.cdc.gov/tetanus/about/
TREATMENT
Hospitalization with aggressive wound care and antibiotics.
Immediate treatment with human tetanus immune globulin (TIG).
Drugs to treat muscle spasms.
Vaccination for future prevention.
CURRENT SITUTATION
• Doctors without Borders expressed concern for tetanus
development as survivors had extensive soft tissue wounds
(cuts, lacerations, punctures, crushed tissue). Currently survivors
with extensive skin injuries are being treated with TIG and
receiving the tetanus vaccine.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Immediate wound care
• Tetanus vaccination

19. DISEASE BRIEF - ACUTE STRESS DISORDER
DESCRIPTION
Acute stress disorder (ASD) is a temporary
mental health condition that may occur weeks to
months after physical or mental trauma. A
diagnosis is not made unless symptoms last 30
days or more. It occurs in 6-30% of survivors. A
majority of people with ASD will later develop
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
RISK FACTORS
• Multiple trauma
• Violent trauma
• History of mental health conditions
SYMPTOMS
• Anxiety
• Difficulty concentrating
• Feeling detached from one’s body
• Difficulty sleeping
• Reliving the event
• Disoriented and feeling “dazed”
http://www.ptsd.va.gov/public/pages/acute-stress-disorder.asp
http://www.who.int/hac/crises/phl/philippines_who_sitrep15november2013.pdf
TREATMENT
Specific mental health counseling can treat ASD and
prevent further development of PTSD.
CURRENT SITUTATION
• World Health Organization expressed concern regarding mental
health issues post typhoon.
• Mental health professionals have started to arrive to render aid to
those in need.
• The mental health need for acute stress disorder is expected to
increase as time moves farther from the initial event.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Seek professional help should any of the symptoms
occur. Proper rest, hygiene, and nutrition help to
alleviate symptoms.

20. DISEASE BRIEF-TYPHOID FEVER
DESCRIPTION
A life-threatening illness caused by the bacterium
Salmonella Typhi, and can be acquired by eating or
drinking food that has been handled by a person with
Salmonella Typhi, or from sewage contaminated with
Salmonella Typhi.
The bacterium lives in the bloodstream and instestinal
tract of contaminated humans, and a small number of
persons (carriers), recover but continue to carry the
bacteria. Persons who do not get treatment may continue
to have fever for weeks or months, and as many as 20%
may die from complications of the infection.
RISK FACTORS
Common where hand washing is less frequent, or water is
contaminated with sewage.
SYMPTOMS
• Sustained fever s high as 103° to 104° F (39° to 40° C).
• Feeling weak
• Stomach pains
• Headache
• Loss of appetite
• Some patients have a rash of rose-colored spots
Must test blood or stool to confirm
TREATMENT
Treated with antibiotics. Choices for antibiotic therapy
include fluoroquinolones (for susceptible
infections), ceftriaxone, and azithromycin. Vaccinate, or
get booster shot to prevent.
CURRENT SITUTATION
Possible outbreak in a hospital in Ormoc.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Buy bottled water, or bring to a rolling boil for 1
minute before consuming.
• Eat foods that have been thoroughly cooked and that
are still hot and steaming.
• Avoid raw vegetables and fruits that cannot be
peeled. Vegetables like lettuce are easily
contaminated and are very hard to wash well.
Or, peel raw fruit or vegetables yourself. (Wash your
hands with soap first.) Do not eat the peelings.
• Avoid risky foods and drinks, get vaccinated.

21. RED CROSS AND RED CRESCENT ACTION
OPERATIONS
• IFRC has deployed a Disaster Law expert to provide advice as needed to PRC and
other partners to support humanitarian diplomacy.
• As part of the cash working group, the IFRC recovery coordinator for Asia Pacific
is deploying to Manila to move the cash coordination agenda forward.
• The National Society has set up 20 welfare desks to assist with restoring family
links and provide psychosocial support.
LOGISTICS
• More than 93 tons of relief materials are being flown from IFRC’s logistic hub in
Dubai to devastated areas.
• The IFRC global logistics service has reserved 25,000 jerry cans and 100,000
tarpaulins with framework agreement suppliers. An additional 24,000 tarpaulins
are booked for sea freight.
• An IT/Telecoms ERU has deployed to Cebu and is setting up access in the
operations warehouse.
• The Cebu airport is congested, many of the affected areas are inaccessible and
transportation infrastructure is damaged, posing logistical challenges for the
operation.
SHELTER CLUSTER
• The shelter cluster has full time capacity dedicated to cluster coordination in
Manila, Roxas, Tacloban and Bohol. The inter-agency shelter coordination team
will be increased from 8 to 16 staff members by mid-next week.
• The shelter cluster will be creating sub operational hubs in Cebu and Roxas.
Other hubs under consideration include Ormac (being considered as satellite
under Tacloban) in Leyte; Borogan and Guiuan (potentially 2 hubs or 1 hub with 1
satellite) in Eastern Samar; and Iloilo (being considered as a satellite under Roxas)
in Capiz.
• The first shelter cluster meeting was held in Cebu on November 15th.
• Detailed assessments will be taking place soon, including a WASH cluster rapid
assessment team member, to do a joint assessment and ensure provision of
shelter with Update No1, Nov. 17
IFRC Operation water and sanitation components.
IMPERATIVE CONDITIONS FOR CONTINUED RED CROSS
PROGRESS
• Adequate support (financial) from partners
• Weather conditions do not suspend activities for long periods
• Disaster-affected areas remain accessible
• Continued cooperation of the authorities

22. FOOD
FOOD
NEEDS: About 2.5 million people are in need of food assistance. It
is critical to get rice seed and fertilizer to approximately 250,000
farmers by mid-December. There is also serious concern for severely
affected fishing communities – many families have no means of
livelihood and decreased sources of protein.

beatrice.tapawan@wfp.org) and Dipayan Bhattacharyya
(0917-594-2450, dipayan.bhattacharyya@wfp.org)
GAPS & CONSTRAINTS:
• Food Cluster is currently 29% funded out of a total US$76.2
million request.
• Logistical constraints hamper the delivery of food assistance,
particularly in mountain areas that remain unreached.
• Resources are overstretched as the cluster is also responding
to the Bohol and Zamboanga emergencies.
• Security is a concern as people have stormed warehouses
and food distribution sites.
• Delivered food supply is insufficient for many populations.
• Over 40% of 130,000 hectares of affected crops (mostly rice
and coconut) have been destroyed.
• There is a limited timeframe in which to assist farmers in
planting crops to ensure a viable harvest and food supply.
PRIORITIES:
• General food distribution, with food baskets containing rice
and ready-to-eat high-energy biscuits.
• Emergency food-for-work and cash-for-work to help kickstart early recovery activities and rebuild livelihoods.
• Cluster leads are assembling information on locations of all
involved organizations for better coordination.

24. NUTRITION
NEEDS:
• The cluster estimates that approximately 4.9 million children are
affected by the disaster, of whom 1.5 million are children under five
years and are at risk for Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) if appropriate
nutrition solutions are not available to them. An estimated 800,000
pregnant and lactating women will also require nutrition interventions.
• Priority interventions include infant and young child feeding Infant
formula monitoring, micronutrient supplementation, management of
acute malnutrition, and health and nutrition education.
• Disruption to maternal care and child feeding practices, damage to
WASH and health facilities, place children and women at a high risk of
malnutrition, especially in high poverty areas.
• Pre-disaster data shows that the affected regions have high rates of
malnutrition (5 to 9 percent global acute malnutrition (wasting), 21 to
26 percent underweight and 38 to 42 percent stunting).
PRIORITIES (URGENT):
• Rapid nutrition assessments and screening for detection, referral, and
follow-up of girls, boys and women supported by local women's
groups, religious leaders, and child protections councils.
• Establish and support Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergency
community peer counseling activities with women's groups and other
trained community counselors.
• Establish community-based therapeutic feeding centers for girls and boys
with severe acute malnutrition integrated in to local health systems.
• Provision of nutrition supplies for therapeutic feeding, micronutrient
supplements and equipment.
• Capacity-building on management of acute malnutrition and nutrition in
emergencies targeting local health staff.
RESPONSE
•

30. CHILD PROTECTION & GENDER BASED VIOLENCE
PROTECTION
NEEDS:
•
UNICEF’s Humanitarian Action for Children requests US$61.5 million to
respond to the needs of children and women affected by Typhoon Haiyan,
an increase for its original requirements. 89% currently remains unfunded.
•
Approximately three million women of reproductive age need specialized
information and services. An estimated 4.6 million affected children need
psychosocial support and protection against violence, trafficking, and
exploitation.
•
Internally displaced women and children require information on relief
distribution points. Many in remote and isolated communities have not
received humanitarian assistance.
VULNERABILITIES:
•
Food and water shortages and inadequate security have incited looting and
people scouring through garbage. Women and children are particularly at
risk.
•
Rapid assessments indicate that 90% of day care centers (DCCs) and public
schools are damaged in Region VI. In Region VII alone, 1.948 schools and
1,600 day care centers are destroyed impacting the education of 590,000
children and 48,000 children respectively.
•
Children do not have access to bathing facilities – putting them at risk.
•
Children are exposed to dangers of physical injuries due to falling debris.
•
Due to the destruction of livelihoods, more children will be at risk of
becoming engaged in the sex and pornography industries, or in
transactional sex.
•
Cash for work programs in the response and recovery phases may place
children at increased risk of separation if provision for child care is not
made when parents are working.
RESPONSE:
•
Child friendly spaces were established in four barangays of Estancia and
Ilollo.
•
The Child Protection sub-cluster has set up operations in Roxas City and
child-friendly spaces were established in evacuation centers in 13
barangays of Roxas City.
GAPS & CONSTRAINTS:
• GBV reporting and prevention services were disrupted and there are no
available records.
• There is no disaggregated data on the number of children at the
regional, municipal and barangay levels.
• Referral pathways are absent and local child protection councils are not
functioning.
• Limited fuel and trucks in Tacloban City and airport congestion in Cebu City
hamper the delivery and distribution of protection kits.
• No functional inter-agency mechanisms for GBV on the provincial and
municipal levels in the worst affected areas.
• Lack of sufficient lighting for protection at night.
• Lack of protective mechanisms for equal food distributions to decrease
women and children street begging.
• Barangay Councils for the Protection of Children (BCPCs) are the state
mandated child-protection structures at the local level, and these and
other pre-existing groups should be supported to help address the
immediate child protection needs.

32. US RESPONSE - OPERATION DAMAYAN
Department of Defense (DoD): OPERATION DAMAYAN
PRIORITIES:
• Increase potable water production.
• Stabilize the fuel supply to affected areas.
• Continued support of logistical needs to distribute food/relief items, clear debris from
roads, reestablish power, communications, and water production.
• Decrease airport congestion to decrease aircraft take off and landing time.
• Increase the warehousing capacity at airports, distribution and evacuation centers.
NEEDS:
• Water production and logistics, mainly ground transportation and fuel.
• Greatest needs in affected areas are water, shelter, food, and medical assistance.
• Debris removal to allow ground access to affected areas.
• EX) Main highway south of Guiuan to the end of the peninsula: one major
obstruction with only one passable lane. Light lift equipment is required to
remove obstruction.
RESPONSE
• Nov. 15-16. Six more VM-22B Ospreys with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265
arrived in the Philippines at Clark Air Field. In total fourteen Ospreys are now delivering
food and water to the most isolated areas affected by the typhoon.
• The last 24 hours, more than 66,000 pounds of food, water and shelter items have
been delivered to Tacloban, Borongan and Guiuan.
• The USNS Bowditch, an oceanographic survey ship, has provided charted data of
safe, navigable channels and identified new hazards that will prove invaluable in the
relief efforts that have and will continue to occur in the region.
• There are now 150,000 people in Tacloban being served by clean water (USAID).
• Aid delivery increased considerably south of Tacloban due to number of assets fragged
and level of coordination between elements.
Nov. 18 Admiral's Morning Brief UNCLAS
Ospreys Fly Supplies to Remote Areas in Philippines
Military, USAID Continue Relief Efforts in Philippines
GAPS AND CONSTRAINTS
• Lack of medical facilities and the slow pace of relief operations causing
further harm to individuals and vulnerable communities.
• Inadequate helicopter landing zone preparation increases risk to crew
and equipment: soft ground (sand and marsh lands, in some areas)
uneven ground, debris coverage.
• Medium to large passive and aggressive crowds, with varying
levels of organization are present at landing zones (crowds of
30-200+ people reported), in some cases rushing the
aircraft, increases the risk of competition for aid and the
potential for violence.
• Minimal security at some landing zones has disallowed aircraft
to land. Aid is delivered via hoist in-flight.
• Weather conditions have prohibited helicopters from accessing
Tacloban Airfield.
• Congestion at Tacloban Airfield has forced aircraft to circle for 40
minutes before clearance to land.
• Main highway north of Guiuan appears intact and unobstructed;
however 30% of secondary roads are passable.
Field Notice: Current Requests for Information

USAID and DoD assistance helps restore water service to most Tacloban residents.
‒ USAID/OFDA and DoD will continue to support Tacloban’s water production
in the coming days, until the GPH and humanitarian partners can organize
additional fuel suppliers.
The USAID DART has established a forward operating base at Tacloban, posting a
logistics officer and a military liaison officer at the city’s airport to strengthen
coordination with other humanitarian stakeholders and enable closer tracking of USG
commodities scheduled for distribution.
USG humanitarian funding increases from $22.5 million to $27.2 million, primarily to
augment logistical activities.
STATUS UPDATE:
•
•
On November 16, USAID DART members noted significant improvements in the speed
and efficiency of relief supply distributions at the GPH Department of Social Welfare
and Development (DSWD) warehouse in Tacloban.
The DART also visited a portion of the most-affected areas of Tacloban and observed
rapid improvements in road clearing and cleanup operations.
