Executive summary Introduction Typhoon Haiyan, locally named Yolanda, has left the Philippines by the afternoon of 8 November 2013 leaving 5,500 people dead and more than 26,000 people injured. Today, the number of affected people is estimated at 14.4 million across nine regions according the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). A total 3.63 million people are currently displaced of whom an estimated 224,177 are living in 1,104 evacuation centers. Within this context and the partnership between Unicef and Veolia Foundation, 2 volunteers from Veolia Foundation have been assigned for a three weeks mission to assess the water facilities of the affected areas. The assessment has been focused on 21 municipalities of Leyte and Eastern Samar provinces (Region VIII). It has covered 24 Water Districts (WD)/Local Government Unit (LGU) and 77 Barangays’ water facilities. In the areas assessed, the WD/LGU and barangays’ water facilities supply water to 50% of the population. The remaining 50% are using handpumps. The objectives of the assessment were: - To visit the most affected water installations - To identify the damages and the priority repairs that can be carried out to restore the operation of these systems - To list the equipment to be ordered and dispatched as a first response - To suggest improvement actions to be implemented post to this emergency as development program Damages The most affected municipalities assessed are located in Leyte (South Tacloban area) and South Eastern Samar (Guiuan area). The access roads to the water facilities are still difficult for the mountain areas (systems with spring source). The main issue recorded in the assessed areas is due to the lack of power. There is a significant need of generators and diesel to run the pumps connected to the electricity network. Following the lack of power, the second type of damages noticed is related to the system itself: pumping systems, reservoirs and pipes. Finally, water quality issues have been engendered due to chlorinators’ destruction or lack of power to operate them. The stocks of chlorine generally observed were for a month of operation. Water facilities assessment report – Yolanda typhoon 4 Government actions An important effort of cleaning has been done to access to the municipal water facilities (LGU and WD). Regarding water system restoration, most of the municipalities assessed have quickly repaired the main transmission line to provide water to the population. The Department of Health (DoH) is conducting a quality monitoring on water. Sanitation inspectors in Southern Leyte, Samar and Leyte are taking water samples to check for total and fecal coliform and residual chlorine. In addition, DoH is providing a strong support to the municipalities by distributing water kits, hygiene kits and aquatab in the affected areas. A good coordination between the different entities involved (NGOs, DoH, LMWD, etc) has been established. WASH cluster meetings are organized once a week. Priority actions The priority is to provide the equipment required in order to restore the systems as soon as possible. The WD, LGU and barangays have the skills required to set them up. A classification of municipality priority has been established and is available in this report. Next steps - Recommendations Most of the municipalities have fixed the main transmission pipe to provide water to the population. In order for the network to be fully operational, a network rehabilitation plan is suggested. A detailed study should be done in order to identity the most suitable chlorination systems to be implemented. Residual chlorine tests should be performed. Mapping and inventory of the water systems could be implemented. Water facilities assessment report – Yolanda typhoon 5 III. Assessment Special request of assessment Eastern Visayas Medical Center The drinking water facilities of the Eastern Visayas Regional Hospital have been entirely destroyed. The drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) was divided into 2 lines: one desalination water treatment system and one reuse water system from the waste water treatment plant effluent. The desalination plant has been designed and built by Zectra Enterprise (Philippines company: http://www.zectraent.com/) in 2012. The design capacity of the plant was 150m3/d. The budget was 15million PHP (350,000USD). The reuse water system has been

  • How HERO Did It
    How HERO did it. Now it can be told. HERO is the Ham Emergency Radio Operations formally launched upon the unveiling of the logo design contest winner during the 82nd Anniversary of the Philippine Amateur Radio Association (PARA) Inc. – the Philippine national association for the amateur radio service. Preparations HERO was activated on December 4, 2015 when it became imminent that typhoon Hagupit (local name Ruby) will make landfall somewhere in the Visayas region. It was to be a live test for HERO with Super Typhoon Yolanda in mind. Upon its activation, a lot of traffic was devoted to trying to muster hams on the 40-meter band (the PARA center of frequency on 40 meter is at 7.095 MHz). Members were advised to start building up on their redundant power supplies such as generators, solar panels, batteries and other imaginable means available as power sources. Owing to the large swathe of typhoon Ruby, it was expected to be almost like Haiyan/Yolanda. There were striking similarities. Initially, Districts 4, 5 and 9 as well as Districts 6, 7 and 8 were alerted. Both Ruby and Yolanda came from the lower quadrant of the typhoon belt. Both were packing winds more than 200 kph near the center. Both had huge footprint or diameter, with Ruby estimated to be around 600 kilometers. Both were expected to generate 3 to 6 meters storm surges and were definitely considered dangerous to lives and properties. Government was not leaving anything to chance and there were plans to forcibly evacuate people along the typhoon track especially those in the coastal area.

Francisco, Sr., Mizpah Jay Candole1, Jaye Hanne De Veyra1, Elmer Bautista1 1Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Regional Office No. 08 Maharlika Highway, Brgy. Diit, Tacloban City ABSTRACT Leyte Gulf is among the major fishing grounds in the Philippines with a shelf area of 13, 147 km2 covering the islands of Samar and Leyte. For this reason, it was chosen as the study area in Eastern Visayas under the National Stock Assessment Program (NSAP) which aims to assess the status of fisheries resources. This paper presents the fishery stock assessment results from CY 2001-2011. The annual fish catch from 2001-2011 showed a declining trend. The lowest was in 2008 with 12, 483.52 MT while the highest was in 2003 with 26,367.32 MT. The municipal fisheries had a high catch contribution except in 2001 where commercial catch was higher by 30%. Thirty eight (38) types of fishing gears were identified operating in Leyte Gulf.

    Republic of the Philippines DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS & HIGHWAYS REGIONAL OFFICE VIII Baras, Palo, Leyte TERMS OF REFERENCE Consultancy Services for the Conduct of Feasibility Study of the Proposed Road Opening/Construction of Junction Himay-angan- Silago-Abuyog Boundary Road (Bagacay-Tib-o), Abuyog, Leyte 1.0 INTRODUCTION Basic needs, goods, services and information must be effectively established and prioritized by the growing infrastructure development in Eastern Visayas and should be an inclusive opportunity for everyone. This will help decongest urban areas, interconnect growth hubs and provide basic services. Bypasses and diversion roads and other infrastructure projects, a primary task of the department, is now a proposal thing that should provide appropriate and economical infrastructure while being ensured that these projects meet and fulfill their purpose. A measure to attain this goal is the proper conduct of feasibility study with feasible results prior to funding the construction of the project. This proposed consultancy services of the feasibility study of the above-named project is outsourced to bypass the DPWH, Regional Office VIII, Baras, Palo, Leyte with the assistance of the Project Preparation Division, Planning Service (PDD, PS). The feasibility study must contain the extent and nature of improvements/construction needed with the economic and technical justification thereof, environmental and social impacts and development program for suitable and optimal investments. Results from the study, if determined and found feasible, will be used by DPWH for programming purposes and its implementation through local financing/external sources.
