BACKGROUND
Typhoon Haiyan (known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda) is the
second-deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least
4,011 people
The thirtieth named storm of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season, Haiyan
originated from an area of low pressure several hundred kilometers eastsoutheast 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.
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: 2,145,359 families (9,996,065 persons) in nine
regions—over 10 percent of the country’s population—are affected
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.

HEALTH - NEEDS
HEALTH
•
Injury management is urgently required. The Eastern Visayas
Regional Medical Center is the only operational hospital in
Tacloban City.
•
Health infrastructures are severely damaged in the worst
affected areas and medical supplies are low.
•
According to NDRRMC 12,501 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.
The need for essential and emergency health services and
treatment for chronic conditions is increasing in affected
areas, while the need for acute trauma care is decreasing.
•
Providing health services to municipalities outside Tacloban
(including elsewhere in Leyte province) and addressing
intermediate and long-term public health needs are critical.
According to reports, barangay-level health centers are largely
not functioning. Precise figures are not currently available.
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.
NEEDS:
•
115 (mainly hospitals) of 2,495 health facilities in the affected
area have been assessed. Of the 115 assessed, 47 are not
functioning (41 percent).
•
•
•
In the hardest hit areas, one third of the children suffer from
malnutrition while only 20 percent have been fully immunized
against measles, leaving them particularly vulnerable to the
deadly disease.
•
Over 390,000 pregnant and lactating women need specialized
services for pre-natal, post-natal and child health care, as well as
health promotion and family planning services.
•
Most drugstores have been looted and medicines, including
family planning supplies, are urgently required, particularly in
Tacloban City.
•
The risk of outbreaks of diarrheal diseases and measles is
substantial given the lack of safe water and
sanitation, displacement and overcrowding, and sub-optimal
vaccination coverage.
•
Health service delivery points, including for emergency obstetric
and neonatal care, are compromised by the sustained damage.

HEALTH – GAPS & CONSTRAINTS
HEALTH
GAPS & CONSTRAINTS:
•
Basic and essential health care services, including routine surgical
capacity (including for Caesarians), must expand. There is an
immediate need for reproductive health kits across hardest hit areas.
•
Disease surveillance is patchy due to disrupted communication
networks.
•
•
People are traumatized and lack psycho-social support
Medical teams require fuel, water purification and safe
accommodation.
•
There is a high risk of acute respiratory infections, diarrhea,
leptospirosis, measles, cholera and typhoid.
Establishing temporary points for delivery of health services is critical
as infrastructure is damaged and people do not have access to medical
care.
•
•
The lack of access to safe water, overcrowding and displacement pose
serious risk of outbreaks of communicable diseases. Disease
surveillance needs to be strengthened.
•
Temporary health facilities, generators, medication, surgical supplies,
cold storage and WASH facilities are urgently required.
Transportation of medical supplies to the affected areas is currently
one of the biggest constraints.
•
•
The breakdown in communication facilities in many affected areas has
hampered reporting and planning for reproductive health activities.
Bethany hospital in Tacloban is half completely destroyed and half
damaged to the point of being unusable. This handwritten sign was posted
asking for any volunteer doctor to lend a hand.

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 85 metric tonnes (93 tons) of relief materials are being flown from IFRC’s
logistic hub in Kuala Lumpur 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.
• A UK Red Cross RAF-C-130 aircraft has arrived in Cebu, which is capable of flying
into smaller airfields, dealing with shorter runways, and dealing with unpredictable
conditions. This should allow support to reach otherwise inaccessible areas.
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 water and sanitation components.

GAPS & CONSTRAINTS:
• Partners in Tacloban City report that markets have been
severely impacted and most households are relying on food
assistance.
• 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. Farmers’ critical need for
rice seed is time-bound to the cropping calendar.
• There is a limited timeframe in which to assist farmers in
planting crops to ensure a viable harvest and food supply.

NUTRITION
NEED:
• Delay in access to adequate nutrition increases likelihood of deterioration
of health and increases likelihood of disease outbreaks of disease.
• The cluster estimates that approximately that 1.5 million of the 4.9 million
affected children are 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 needed include infant and young child feeding
(IYCF), Infant formula monitoring, micronutrient
supplementation, management of acute malnutrition, and health and
nutrition education.
• Disruption to maternal care and child feeding practices and 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 percent to 9 percent global acute malnutrition (wasting), 21
percent to 26 percent underweight and 38 percent to 42 percent stunting).
PRIORITIES (URGENT):
• Conduct 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 (IYCF) in
Emergencies, 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;
• Provide nutrition supplies for therapeutic feeding, including micronutrient
supplements and equipment;
• Continue capacity-building on management of acute malnutrition and
nutrition in emergencies targeting local health staff;
• Provide coordination and technical support to the Nutrition Cluster;
• Conduct standardized nutrition surveys for updated age- and genderdisaggregated nutritional status data.

unfunded.
Approximately 3.2 million women of reproductive age and
4.6 million affected children need psychosocial support and protection
against violence, trafficking, and exploitation.
VULNERABILITIES:
•
•
Food shortages / lack of adequate security have incited looting and people
scouring through garbage. Women and children are particularly at risk.
Children are exposed to dangers of physical injuries due to falling debris.

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.

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
What is the current status of secondary roads and roads around
HLZs in Eastern Samar and Leyte?
What are the environmental conditions surrounding port
facilities on Samar and Leyte (underwater debris, etc.)?

US RESPONSE
USAID/OFDA RESPONSE:
•
•
•
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.
