Perspectives from Cities in Crisis: launch of IMPACT and UCLG study at the World Humanitarian Summit
By 2050 over 70% of the global population will live in urban areas.
IMPACT was deployed to the Philippines through its initiative REACH following four separate disasters starting in 2012. The first deployment followed the tropical storm Sendong, the second typhoon Bopha, the third Bohol earthquake and the fourth typhoon Haiyan. Each deployment was conducted in support of cluster response planning, coordination and monitoring, including with the Shelter Cluster, the Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster, and the WASH Cluster.
By 2050 over 70% of the global population will live in urban areas.
When Typhoon Haiyan, locally known as Yolanda, reached the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines on 8 November 2013, it was the strongest typhoon ever recorded to make landfall and the deadliest in Philippine history – killing over 6,000 people and leaving millions homeless. Given the large scale destruction of homes and livelihoods, shelter formed […]
One year after Typhoon Haiyan and as the situation has stabilised, REACH conducted a large-scale study to contribute to the development of best practices for sustainable change in sanitation and hygiene behaviour in the Philippines. This assessment was undertaken between September and November 2014 as a baseline for the UNICEF funded Philippine Approach to Total Sanitation […]
In the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, REACH assessments of damage to water and sanitation infrastructure informed emergency response and early recovery planning, including the rehabilitation of water systems and latrines in the most affected areas. More than one year on, the focus has shifted from emergency interventions to sustainable development, and there is a critical […]
Following the massive destruction wrought by Typhoon Haiyan in early November 2013, humanitarian efforts continue to support thousands of affected people in the Philippines to rebuild their homes and livelihoods. The latest assessment carried out by REACH aimed to understand remaining needs of the affected population, the differing needs of vulnerable groups and outcomes of the shelter sector […]
Within hours of first striking the Philippines in November 2013, typhoon Haiyan had made landfall six times across the country’s central regions. By early December, the Government of the Philippines, through its Disaster Response Operations Monitoring and Information Centre, reported that a total of 13,067,342 individuals across 10,701 Barangays in the Central Philippines had been affected by […]
To gauge the accuracy of the crowd-sourced damage assessments from the OSM community, REACH and ARC conducted a study comparing enumerated field damage assessments with the remote damage assessments conducted by the OSM community in the days after Typhoon Haiyan. The conclusions and recommendations are intended to inform contributors and developers of crowd-sourcing platforms, as […]
Through its standby partnership with the Global Shelter Cluster, REACH has already carried out several rapid field deployments in the Philippines since 2011, following these emergencies: typhoon Washi, typhoon Bopha, Bohol earthquake, and the typhoon Haiyan. In relation to typhoon Haiyan REACH first undertook rapid needs assessment in November 2013. For this purpose, the Global Shelter Cluster […]
