THEN AND NOW: PWRDF’S RESPONSE Typhoon Haiyan

November 8, 2013 Most powerful tropical cyclone to ever make landfall Sustained winds over 310kph Over 6300 killed Over 4 million displaced 90+% of houses destroyed in badly hit areas

The storm surge reached 6m in Tacloban 3 ships, including this one were picked up and tossed into the middle of neighbourhoods

An accurate count of the dead has been very difficult, with Tacloban City alone listing over 10,000 dead. The official numbers place the death toll at about 6300, while the President of the Philippines listed the number at 2500.

The Response PWRDF raised over $800,000 in relief funds These funds have been released through:  The Visayas Cluster  The Episcopal Church in the Philippines  ACT Alliance

ACT Alliance response “What makes this operation different from any other operation we have participated around the world is the contribution, openness and friendliness of the people,” says WASH manager Anja Riiser from Norwegian Church Aid (NCA). Riiser is amazed by people‘s willingness to work hard to get life back again to what it was before typhoon Haiyan. “Filipinos don't give up.”

In the first days, PWRDF funded relief supplies including food, water, bedding, medicine, and more

Reconstruction and Livelihoods Participatory building of houses Supplies from PWRDF partners and beneficiaries “receivers to donors”

What about tenants? Tenant farmers face a difficult situation with no land of their own ECP solution: buy land and build within the community, granting mortgages to the tenants

The 40m rule Causing major problems for fisherfolk How will it be applied to resorts?

Livelihoods 75-90% of the coconut trees were damaged or destroyed in many areas Fish spawning grounds (mangroves, sandy bottoms) were damaged Crops were destroyed Shops were also destroyed

Mangroves and Fishing Boats

It’s not over yet Recovery from a disaster like Typhoon Haiyan takes years Reconstruction of schools Disaster planning Recovery of trees, fisheries

A message from the people of the Philippines Salamat... Thank you
