A. Situation analysis

Description of the disaster

Typhoon Phanfone (known locally as Typhoon Ursula) entered the Philippines Area of Responsibility (PAR) on 23 December 2019 and made landfall the next day, 24 December, at 16:45 local time in Salcedo, Eastern Sama, with maximum winds of 120 kilometres per hour (km/h) and gustiness of up to 150 km/h. The Philippines’ 21st for 2019 then crossed the country following a similar path to (Yolanda) in November 2013; totalling seven landfalls over two days. See the following table:

Typhoon Phanfone brought rainfall and winds which have caused widespread destruction across Bicol (Region V), CARAGA (Region XIII), Central Visayas (Region VII), Eastern Visayas (Region VIII), MIMAROPA (Region IV-B), and Western Visayas (Region IV). Heavy flooding was seen in areas on Phanfone’s path, particularly in Panay Island in province (Western Visayas). On 28 December 2019, Phanfone weakened into a Tropical Storm (TS) as it exited the PAR. It came less than a month after (Tisoy) had also caused devastation to communities in the Bicol (Region V) and MIMAROPA (Region IV-B).

Between 26 – 30 December 2019, states of calamity were declared for the following provinces (cities/municipalities): Aklan (Kalobo and Malay), Antique (Libertad and Pandan), Capiz (Sigm), (Daanbantayan and Madridejos), (Borongan City), (Carles and Concepcion), Leyte (Tacloban City), (San Jose), and Samar (Daram, Samar).

Initial damage assessments in the affected areas identified priority needs for essential household items and emergency shelter, first aid (FA), psychosocial support (PSS), food assistance, health, livelihoods, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion and protection.

Typhoon Phanfone is the 21st tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in 2019, exceeding the annual average of 20; and intervenes while the authorities and partner organizations are already responding to public health emergencies (measles and polio, MDRPH032), earthquakes (Mindanao, MDRPH036) and typhoon (Kammuri, November 2019, MDRPH037).

Summary of the current response

Overview of Host National Society Response Action In accordance with Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), the Operations Centre (OpCen), which functions 24/7, monitored the Typhoon Phanfone since it was identified as incoming to the Philippines, and continued to issue regular updates on the situation as it evolved. As soon as the typhoon entered the Philippine areas of responsibility (PAR), the PRC put its chapters located directly on the path of the weather system on alert and other chapters on standby for support. The PRC headquarters (PRC NHQ) and the IFRC Philippine Country Office (CO) were also mobilized to prepare to respond.

The PRC participated in the Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment (PDRA) meetings convened by the NDRRMC. The PRC also intensified preparations at the chapter and PRC NHQ levels and deployed Emergency Response Units (ERU’s), rapid assessment teams, assets, equipment and specialised personnel (Health, Relief, Shelter, WASH and Welfare) to the affected areas.

The PRC NHQ chapters affected have coordinated with the national and provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (NDRRMC and PDRRMCs); as well as respective LGU’s (local government unit) RDRA (Pre- Disaster Risk Assessment) meetings and activated community volunteers (Red Cross 143) and Red Cross Action Teams (RCAT 143) in all municipalities. The PRC Communications teams has been posting updates and photos of the situation on Facebook and Twitter.

As of 8 January 2020, PRC had been able to carry out the following activities to meet the immediate needs of the affected population:

Sector Actions taken First Aid • eight first aid station established in evacuation centers and ports • 189 individuals taken with blood pressure taking • two individuals were provided with first aid Psychosocial • seven welfare desks established support • 27 individuals provided with psychosocial first aid • 78 children provided with child friendly activities Food • 4,734 individuals provided with ready to eat meal food/hot meals • 2,997 families provided with food packs • 1,442 families provided with media noche packages Essential • 938 individuals received clothes household items • 40 families provided with mosquito nets • 350 families provided with blankets Water, sanitation • 15,250 liters of water were distributed for drinking and domestic use and hygiene • 120 individuals were reached with hygiene promotion

Overview of Red Cross Red Crescent Movement Actions in country PRC will lead the overall response operation. PRC maintains close coordination with in-country Movement partners and continues to provide updates. In addition to the IFRC and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Movement partners present in the country are American Red Cross, Canadian Red Cross, Finnish Red Cross, German Red Cross, Japanese Red Cross Society, Netherlands Red Cross, Spanish Red Cross and Qatar Red Crescent Society.

PRC host Movement coordination meetings and operational meetings to share information with partners. IFRC Philippine Country Office (CO) is supporting PRC in disseminating updates to Movement partners in-country and coordinating with the IFRC Asia Pacific Regional Office (APRO) in Kuala Lumpur in accordance with the IFRC Secretariat’s Emergency Response Framework. IFRC CO and PRC are also coordinating closely with ICRC on security. The IFRC Philippine CO has assisted in the preparation of an DREF activation of CHF 298,313 (approved on 26 December 2019), followed by an Emergency Appeal (on 28 December 2019) seeking CHF 2 million, as the impact of Typhoon Phanfone, and the humanitarian needs generated began to be identified.

An information management rapid response personnel (seconded from the Netherlands Red Cross) is providing information management capacity to PRC and IFRC. These have been shared with RCRC Movement and Non- Movement partners.

On 7 January 2019, a partners’ call was organized to inform Movement partners on the IFRC Emergency Appeal (EA) and the planned operation to support PRC in providing humanitarian services to communities affected by Typhoon Phanfone.

Overview of non-RCRC actors’ actions in country

Coordination with the authorities The Republic Act 10072 (Philippine Red Cross Act of 2010) recognizes PRC as an independent, autonomous, non- governmental organization auxiliary to the authorities of the republic of the Philippines in the humanitarian field. As an auxiliary to the government, the PRC maintains a strong relationship and collaboration with (i) NDRRMC; (ii) provincial, municipal and barangay (village) disaster risk reduction and management councils; and (iii) local government units defined in the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act. PRC participates in NDRRMC meetings and coordinates with the DSWD and Department of Health (DOH).

4

The PRC has coordinated with the NDRRMC for Pre-Disaster Risk Analysis (PDRA) and response cluster activation. The NDDRMC and Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) continuously provide updates including on preparedness measures, stocks of household items, and other resources; weather forecasts/advisories and gale warnings to regional counterparts and other agencies through formal updates.

Inter-agency coordination At country level, PRC and IFRC are observers to, and participate in, meetings of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT). PRC and IFRC are involved in relevant government-led cluster information sharing, planning, and analysis at all levels while IFRC supports PRC coordination efforts through representation in other relevant clusters as required.

IFRC is co-lead of the Shelter Cluster with government lead agency Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The IFRC coordination focal point in country is coordinating with PRC, OCHA and sector partners on inter- agency rapid needs assessments in the affected areas.

Needs analysis, targeting, scenario planning and risk assessment

Needs analysis From 24 December 2019, PRC deployed Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDANA) teams (comprising NDRTs and RCATs). Key results and findings from the assessment were presented at the PRC NHQ by the respective affected chapters on 9 – 10 January 2020. The preparation of the overarching PRC plan of action, including funding required for the response is underway.

The following analysis of the current primary data from the PRC chapters and secondary data available (DSWD, NDRRMC, and OCHA Flash Reports) identifies the immediate needs of the affected families as follows: essential household items and emergency shelter, first aid (FA), psychosocial support (PSS), food assistance, health, livelihoods, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion and protection. Many of the areas most affected are considered low income rural communities with traditional light weight housing.

Consideration has also been given to Typhoon Kammuri (November 2019, MDRPH037), the most recent typhoon that has recently affected these areas and to which PRC is currently responding, supported by IFRC; as well as (2015, MDRPH020), Typhoon Nock-Ten (2016, MDRPH023) and Tropical Storm Usman (2019, MDRPH030). .

Please refer to the summary below which is a consolidation of the analysis of primary and secondary data from rapid assessment including information from other actors’ assessments (as mentioned above):

Shelter As of 10 January 2020, NDRRMC had reported that 530,696 is the total number of damaged houses, out of them 60,483 are destroyed/totally damaged and 470,263 are partially damaged, and 60,483 houses totally damaged (destroyed) mainly due to wind, flooding and landslides. Approximately 90 per cent of the destroyed houses are in Eastern Visayas (VIII) and Western Visayas (IV). The provinces of Aklan (114,455 affected), Biliran (24,639), Capiz (75,415), Leyte (131,726), Occidental Mindoro (24,959), Eastern Samar (47,133), Western Samar (47,688), have experienced the most damage. In Tacloban City (Leyte) alone, significantly affected by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, over 24,000 houses have been reported damaged.

Shelter relief support is underway including the provision of materials (fixings, ropes, shelter grade tarpaulins, and tools). There will be a need to consider additional early recovery assistance for the most vulnerable families whose homes have been totally damaged, in order to rebuild their homes; as well as technical assistance to make them safer and more durable in the face of future .

Livelihoods and basic needs According to DSWD at the peak of the typhoon 206,379 people were evacuated to 1,588 evacuation centres. At this time most evacuation centres are closed, and people have returned home with 85 centres pen catering for 2,762 people. Due to evacuations and because people were left stranded due to cancelled sea transport there was a need for the provision of food items in evacuation centres.

According to the National Economic and Development Agency (NEDA), Phanfone has caused considerable impact on infrastructure and agriculture, estimated at some PHP 3.4 billion (CHF 77 million) across the affected area. Livelihoods are a concern, high value crops such as corn and rice, livestock, and fisheries have been impacted, with more than 84,000 farmers and fisherfolk affected. Affected farmers, fisherfolks and informal workers have limited financial means to cope with economic losses and have expressed their need for medium – longer term livelihood assistance to help them restore their means of income generation. The impact is substantial and can be expected to worsen poverty incidences at the household level. 5

Immediate cash transfers will be necessary to help the most vulnerable families meet their basic needs; as well as additional early recovery assistance (conditional cash grants, equipment and training) to those families whose livelihoods have been disrupted. Based on the current understanding of impact, and experience of previous operations in the affected areas, it is expected that market will be operational and suitable for cash programming.

Health (including psychosocial support) Public health services have been disrupted in some areas, including neonatal and maternal support, leaving the affected population with reduced access to essential services, at least in the short term. Search and rescue and first aid have been required as rains associated with the typhoon led to flash floods and landslides.

Flooding and displacement raise the vulnerability of affected communities to disease outbreaks such as leptospirosis, dengue, acute respiratory infections and diarrhoea especially children and vulnerable population. Disease prevention, surveillance and hygiene promotion will be needed in affected communities and evacuation centres to prevent outbreaks, while insecticide-treated mosquito nets required as a preventative measure. Pregnant and lactating women also require support with dignity and hygiene related items. Given the re-emergence of polio (vaccine derived) in the Philippines, there may be a need to support the DOH with mass vaccination campaigns should new cases be reported in the affected areas.

The impact on people’s psychosocial well-being will also need to be considered, as they may have lost loved ones, or seen their homes and livelihoods destroyed. Therefore, psychological first aid (PFA) and psychosocial support (PSS) will be required.

Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) Water supply systems have been damaged and/or contaminated leaving some of the affected families without reliable access to safe water. There will be a need to ensure that water treatment, storage and distribution as well as facilities are installed in the short term, and water storage containers (jerry cans) provided. Contamination of water sources resulting from damage to sanitation facilities increases the risk of waterborne disease; and there may be a need for cleaning campaigns in the affected area.

Emergency dissemination of information on personal hygiene, menstrual hygiene, prevention of diarrhoea, solid waste management and water storage will also be required. Hygiene items (sanitary napkins, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and underwear for men and women) may have been lost during flooding and/or landslides, need to be replaced/replenished.

Protection, gender and inclusion (PGI) Following disasters, protection concerns, particularly regarding separated and unaccompanied children, and young women are known to increase. Vulnerable groups are at risk to exploitation, psychosocial trauma and gender-based violence (GBV). Housing units of host families may have limited access to basic facilities that are safe for women and children. Addressing such risks are to be incorporated in the response plans and in the messaging and community engagement of the PRC. There will be a need to ensure that mapping of local child protection services and GBV referral systems is carried out and information provided to affected households. Additionally, family tracing and reunification processes for unaccompanied, separated and orphaned children, provision of PSS services for children, as well as set up of child-friendly spaces where they have opportunities for safe play, recreation and non-formal education, have also been identified as a priority need.

PGI minimum standards will be used to ensure a “do no harm” approach, and elaborate on how the mitigation approach will (ideally) include establishment of protection referral pathways, training and sensitisation of staff and volunteers to identify and refer protection concerns, and safeguarding in the operation (such as signing the Code of Conduct and Child Protection policy) for all staff and volunteers.

Community engagement and accountability (CEA) As stated from the IFRC World Disasters Report, information is a vital form of aid. Timely, accurate and appropriate information can save lives, livelihoods and resources. With various concerns arising after the typhoons, ensuring that information in the local language is immediately provided to the affected families is significant to lessen the negative impacts and ensure that the most vulnerable can access government and non-government assistance.

PRC has been strengthening its capacity in community engagement and accountability through a variety of community- based programmes and projects, as well as emergency operations nationwide. Community accountability mechanisms are integrated into relief and recovery programmes to ensure that affected populations have direct access to information on the nature and scope of services provided by PRC, as well as the mechanisms and processes that

enable community participation and feedback. It is important to incorporate sustainable behaviours and practices within this operation. Actions taken should cause no harm to the communities being supported.

PRC uses trusted and preferred channels of communications, including radio, newspaper, telephone hotline, help desks, printed materials, SMS and social media. The preferred media for communication is validated through community consultations. These media are utilized to provide and receive information to and from beneficiaries. The “Virtual Volunteer” web app could also be utilized to exchange information, such as where affected families can receive assistance.

Green response The Philippines is prone to floods, drought, typhoons, seismic and volcanic events. As part of PRC strategic plan; awareness, sustainable development, ecological transition and partnerships are key priorities needed to incorporate “Green Response”. These responses should respect the values and principles which can help minimize the impact of humans on the environment and thus facilitate sustainable development. With the help of active partner agencies and other PNS, PRC can identify which ecological products and processes are likely to be used in emergencies, interventions following disasters, recovery, disaster risk reduction and short/long term developments (relief distribution, CTP, shelter and livelihoods). “Green Response” approach will be considered in the design and implementation of activities under this operation.

Targeting The PRC always ensures that its emergency responses and programmes are aligned with its own as well as with the IFRC’s commitment to take gender and diversity into account, for example, by focusing on and targeting women/child- headed households, pregnant or lactating women, and men, women and children made vulnerable by disasters; families with persons with disability, elderly, those suffering from chronic illnesses, families with children under five years old, families who have not received any or sufficient assistance from the government or other organizations, those who belong to socially vulnerable families and those who lack the resources to meet basic humanitarian needs on their own.

Once beneficiaries are identified and verified, each will be provided with a PRC beneficiary card with their and family members’ names. Selection will consider that some of the displaced population may have lost their formal identification documents, and efforts made to ensure such people do not face barriers in accessing assistance that they are eligible for. The card will form the basis for official recognition of bearers as beneficiaries of the PRC and during implementation, PRC volunteers will again validate the beneficiaries’ names on the cards where they are listed in distribution sheets. Upon receipt of any item or assistance, beneficiaries will sign award sheets or participating lists. With these records and validation process, cases of double-assistance or double-counting can be eliminated. As part of its standard operating procedure, the PRC ensures that coordination with the affected population is facilitated through the communities’ preferred communication channels.

The geographic areas (provinces) targeted by for emergency and early recovery assistance through this operation are those regions which have been identified most affected by Typhoon Phanfone. These include:

Emergency # Region Province Early Recovery Response 1 Central Visayas (VII) Cebu X - 2 Biliran X X 3 Eastern Samar X - Eastern Visayas (VIII) 4 Leyte X - 5 Western Samar X - 6 Oriental Mindoro X - MIMAROPA (IV-B 7 Occidental Mindoro X X 8 Aklan X X 9 Antique X - Western Visayas (IV) 10 Capiz X - 11 Iloilo X -

This is based on the current data produced by the NDRMC and PRC’s rapid assessments results (as of 7 January 2020). As more information becomes available on the impact of the typhoon, it may be necessary to change the targeting, and include other provinces depending on the level of vulnerability and the adaptive capacity of the affected population.

These have been identified and prioritized, based on the following criteria: 1. Extent of damages (50 per cent and above percentage of damaged shelters and cost of livelihood damages) 1. Province, City and Municipality classification (3rd – 6th) 2. Support assistance received - presence of other agencies, and the gaps identified 7

3. Coping mechanisms 4. Logistical considerations 5. Poverty incidence

Estimated disaggregated data for population targeted. Based on PSA data, sex and age breakdown for Central Visayas (VII), Eastern Visayas (VIII), MIMAROPA (IV-B) and Western Visayas (IV), is as follows:

Estimated % Category % female % male of target group Young Children (under 5 years) 11.8 5.7 6.2 Children (5-17yrs) 31.3 15.1 16.2 Adults (18-49 yrs) 41.3 20.1 21.3 Elderly (>50 yrs) 15.5 8.2 7.2 People with disabilities2 1.85 n/a n/a

Multi-dimensional vulnerability of the targeted provinces The below table presents the multidimensional variables that influence the level of vulnerability and coping capacity of families living in the typhoon affected areas, namely Central Visayas (VII), Eastern Visayas (VIII), MIMAROPA (IV-B) and Western Visayas (IV). The average HDI (Human Development Index) of targeted area is 0.54 which reflects a low- level education, health and living standard. Similarly, the locations have a poverty incidence which indicates that almost 1.3 million families (5.8 million people) have per capita annual income or expenditure less than per capita poverty threshold. Overall, it shows that families from these locations were vulnerable in terms of socio-economic condition before the typhoon and it can be assumed that this disaster is leading them towards increased vulnerability.

Operation Risk Assessment Possible operational risks are shown below: • Public health emergencies have affected the Philippines over the past 12 months – including increase cases of dengue and measles as well as the re-emergence of polio (vaccine derived). The DOH in collaboration with the PRC has been responding to these outbreaks. However, the impact of Typhoon Phanfone has comprised water and sanitation infrastructure and led to flooding in the affected areas. It can be expected that this could increase the risk of outbreaks, given polio is introduced through faecal-oral transmission, as dengue is vector borne. • Security risk posed by armed non-state actors in the areas most likely to be affected is regarded as low to medium, and not expected to impact on the implementation of the operation under this Emergency Appeal or hinder access by IFRC/PRC personnel. PGI minimum standards will be used to ensure a “do no harm” approach, and elaborate on how the mitigation approach will (ideally) include establishment of protection referral pathways, training and sensitisation of staff and volunteers to identify and refer protection concerns, and safeguarding in the operation (such as signing the Code of Conduct and Child Protection policy) for all staff and volunteers. There will continue to be close coordination between the IFRC CO, PRC and ICRC on security related issues. • The MDRPH037 Phanfone EA is the 7th operation being implemented by the PRC with support from the IFRC CO, with responses being conducted across multiple disparate geographical locations simultaneously. There may be a need to consider recruitment of additional personnel or reassignment of existing personnel; as well as deployment of rapid response personnel to support PRC and the IFRC CO ensure there is capacity available to meet their commitments to all stakeholders, but foremost the communities being supported.

B. Operational strategy

Overall Operational objective The operation aims to meet the immediate and early-recovery needs of the most vulnerable 20,000 people (4,000 families) affected by Typhoon Phanfone over a period of 12 months (until 31 December 2020) through the provision of appropriate assistance to support their safety, dignity and resilience. This will be accomplished through the following summarised activities:

Emergency response • Mobilization of personnel and assets to conduct first aid, search and rescue; as well as conduct rapid needs assessments. • Provision of essential welfare services, including migration, PGI, PSS, ready-to-eat / hot meals, and restoring family links (RFL). • Distribution of essential household and emergency shelter items to affected families. • Distribution of multipurpose cash grants (MPCG) to affected families to meet their basic needs for a period of one month. • Community-based disease prevention, epidemic control and health promotion session; as well as provision of psychosocial first aid (PFA) and PSS. • Distribution of safe drinking water; installation of temporary sanitation (latrines, bathing and/or shower facilities, and handwashing facilities) as needed; provision of dignity and hygiene related items, and dissemination of key health promotion messages to affected families. 9

Early recovery assistance • Shelter assistance aimed at supporting affected families repair/rebuild homes and other facilities that were totally damaged (destroyed) by Phanfone. This will be accomplished through the distribution of conditional cash grants, specialised construction support from trained staff, awareness raising/training guidance on safe shelter building techniques (based on the Shelter Cluster Guideline), as well as technical guidance on housing, land and property (HLP) issues. • Livelihoods assistance activities aimed at supporting affected families who livelihoods have been disrupted, restore their means of income generation or establish new ventures/projects including small and micro enterprises grants. This will be accomplished through a combination of conditional cash grants, distribution of inputs, and awareness raising/trainings. • Disaster risk reduction activities aimed to link the relief and recovery by identifying the local hazards and vulnerabilities and undertaking measures to enhance the coping capacity of affected communities, through the establishment of RC143 volunteers and communities-based disaster preparedness initiatives in communities affected by Phanfone; the development of disaster risk management plans, awareness raising/trainings on participatory and build back better approach for safe shelter through the Participatory Approach for Safe Shelter and Settlement Awareness (PASSA), and climate change adaptation/green response. • National Society Development (NSD) activities intended to strengthen the capacity of the PRC to respond to future emergencies. This will be accomplished through the establishment of a regional logistics hub where assets, equipment and stocks can be pre-positioned for mobilization in advance of an emergency.

The operation will be underpinned by a commitment to quality programming that involves • Continuous and in-depth assessments and analyses to inform the design and ongoing implementation of the programme. • Ongoing process of adjustments based on these assessments. • Adherence to protection, gender and inclusion (PGI) measures, with focus on disability inclusive development. This will include, amongst other activities, the collection of sex-age and disability disaggregated data, the application of Minimum Standards on PGI in Emergencies through the project cycle (including monitoring and reporting). There will be efforts made to ensure equitable balance of male and female staff and volunteers; as well as consideration made to promote the participation of women, men, girls and boys of all ages and backgrounds in the affected population, and of people with disabilities. • Awareness of the impact of climate change and promotion of climate smart solutions as part of the operations (where appropriate). • Establishment of mechanisms to facilitate two-way communication with, and ensure transparency and accountability to, disaster-affected people, and highlighting the nature of communication and information as a life-saving mechanism. • Management and delivery of the programme will be informed by appropriate monitoring and evaluation. • Market assessments will be integrated with the in-depth assessment as cash-based interventions are being considered based on the needs and feasibility. • Post distribution monitoring exercises will be conducted on the interventions, particularly related to the use of cash as a response option, to measure impact and timeliness of the assistance provided. An overall review of the EA will be conducted to identify lessons learnt and present recommendations to PRC for consideration in future emergency response operations.

Human resources All relief activities will be implemented by utilizing existing staff and RC143 volunteers, RCAT143 and NDRT from other chapters, where needed. The Emergency Appeal will cover insurance, vaccination and visibility costs (bibs, caps, polo shirts etc.) for volunteers supporting the response efforts. IFRC CO will support PRC in providing technical and support service staff as required to ensure accountability and compliance with regards to the operation. In addition, provision has been made for IFRC rapid response personnel and regional disaster response team (RDRT) to provide surge support to the IFRC CO and PRC as required. The RDRT will be mobilized based on technical support requirements of the National Society. Other IFRC CO positions (communications coordinator, field coordinators and operations manager) will also be supported through the Emergency Appeal.

Communication PRC communications team will ensure that Red Cross response efforts are effectively communicated and visible amongst its key public audiences, in a timely manner. PRC staff and volunteers across the country are actively contributing to institutional communications through its own social media networks. A composite team of PRC and IFRC communications officers will work together to generate high quality photos, video clips and news stories for use across IFRC and PRC multimedia platforms. Mobile messaging groups (via Facebook Messenger) were set up between PRC’s operations centre, DMS, deployed assessment teams, PRC and IFRC communications’ focal persons to share real-time 10

information and data from responders on the ground and vice versa.

Information technology and telecommunications The Emergency Appeal will cover costs of mobile phone credits and internet cards for the chapters involved. PRC will ensure that staff and volunteers involved in the operation are accessible via mobile phones. Where necessary, satellite phones will be made available. The chapter will have enough computer software and hardware capacity, and support for the operational requirements.

Security The PRC security framework will apply to all staff and volunteers throughout the Emergency Appeal duration. All PRC staff and chapter volunteers are encouraged and will be supported to complete IFRC Stay Safe e-learning courses. Where the presence of personnel under IFRC Security responsibility is approved, the IFRC security framework, including the IFRC Philippines CO Security Regulations and contingency plans are applicable to those personnel. An area specific Security Risk Assessment will be conducted for the operational area; risk mitigation measures will be identified and implemented as required. This will include security briefings for all IFRC personnel, movement monitoring for field travel and availability of safety equipment. Coordination with the ICRC will be observed through regular information-sharing in accordance with the existing and agreed MVT arrangements.

Community engagement and accountability (CEA) Community engagement and accountability and feedback/response mechanisms will be integrated into the operation to ensure that affected populations have direct access to information on the nature and scope of services provided by PRC, together with processes that will enable community participation and ease of providing feedback and giving responses. A Barangay Recovery Committee (BaReCoM) will be formed to support community engagement as they are direct representatives from their own communities. The community can directly provide feedback to the BaReCoM members, which are essential for continuous improvements of the programme implementation. BaReCoM is composed of a representative number of community representatives – barangay/purok officials, representative of all sectors in the community such as farmers, elderly group, women’s group, persons with disabilities, health workers, etc.

Planning, monitoring, evaluation and reporting (PMER) Reporting and monitoring on the operation will be carried out in accordance with the IFRC monitoring and reporting standards. Regular updates will be issued during the operation’s timeframe with a final report issued within three months after the end of the operation. The operation team will have technical PMER capacity and additional technical support is provided through IFRC APRO PMER team. The operation monitoring teams will conduct field visits as needed. This will help identify and, where possible and necessary, resolve any issues. Necessary tools and templates for regular data collection and reporting will be adopted from existing PMER resources.

Administration and finance The IFRC provides the necessary operational support for review, validation of budgets, bank transfers, and technical assistance to PRC on procedures for justification of expenditures, including the review and validation of invoices. PRC is accustomed to and competent in delivering these financial procedures to the required standards.

Logistics and supply chain Logistics activities aim to effectively manage the supply chain, including procurement, customs clearance, fleet, storage and transport to distribution sites in accordance with the operation’s requirements and aligned to IFRC’s logistics standards, processes and procedures. Logistics support for this operation is being provided through the strong capacity of the PRC logistics built over the last years, supported by an experienced IFRC CO logistics team. The main supply chain strategy to meet immediate operational needs is to relocate required relief items for 2,000 families, including blankets, sleeping mats, hygiene parcels, jerrycans, mosquito nets, shelter tool kits and tarpaulins from PRC existing prepositioned stocks. IFRC CO is supporting PRC to mobilize and transport needed equipment and relief items to the affected areas. The items released to meet immediate needs will be replenished by the IFRC following IFRC standard procurement procedures. Items with the local specification to meet local cultural context will be replenished locally by the IFRC CO logistics team whereas IFRC standard relief items, such as hygiene parcels, jerrycans, mosquito nets, shelter tool kits and tarpaulins will be replenished internationally by IFRC APRO Operation Logistics, Procurement and supply Chain Management (OLPSCM) department based in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Existing warehouse capacity of the PRC is enough to meet planned operational needs and at this stage there is no need to rent additional warehouse space. Strong PRC fleet will be providing the primary transport support for this operation. IFRC CO will extend its fleet support by making its vehicles available for this operation as and if required.
