The JDA assessed whether Wutip damage qualifies for a US Presidential Disaster Declaration. The JDA found Wutip had caused damage to the infrastructure and agricultural production of 30 islands, The path of Typhoon Wutip Feb 19-22, 2019.

The Output 3 activities, described here for FSM, will be implemented in conjunction with related activities under Output 1 “Strengthen strategic planning at national levels” and Output 2 “Enhance the capacity of sub- national government stakeholders to build resilient communities” of the GCCA+ SUPA project. The Government of FSM has selected the water sector as their focus for Output 3. The overall objective of the project is to scale up community resilience to water stress and climate-related extreme events in selected outer islands of Chuuk State. The specific objective is to improve water security by increasing access to potable water for schools and selected households in the atoll islands of Polowat, Pulusuk and Pulap. The project has three key result areas: (1) Install and enhance rainwater harvesting systems in community shelters/buildings in Polowat, Pulusuk and Pulap; (2)Training and capacity building in rainfall data management in Polowat and water management for households and schools in Polowat, Pulusuk and Pulap; and (3) National coordination of the project activities.

  • Usaid/Ofda Program Summary
    USAID/OFDA PROGRAM SUMMARY FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA AND REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS In November 2008, USAID assumed responsibility for disaster response and reconstruction in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), reflecting the transition of FSM and RMI from U.S.-administered trust territories to independent nations. Using FEMA funding—released upon a U.S. Presidential Disaster Declaration (PDD)—USAID maintains FEMA’s previous commitment to supplement host government efforts to provide humanitarian assistance in the event of a significant disaster. The two U.S. Government (USG) agencies coordinate based on an Operational Blueprint developed to provide a framework for USG disaster response and reconstruction in FSM and RMI. RECENT RESPONSE ACTIVITIES IN FSM AND RMI USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) collaborates closely with FEMA, as well as USAID/Philippines, U.S. Embassy Kolonia, U.S. Embassy Majuro, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to implement humanitarian programs in FSM and RMI. This includes supporting life-saving activities in response to natural disasters—including drought, floods, and storms—and providing technical assistance for response and early recovery activities. • Typhoon Wutip: From February 19–22, 2019, Typhoon Wutip passed over FSM’s Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Yap states, damaging crops, houses, public buildings, and water and sanitation infrastructure. On March 11, President of FSM Peter M. Christian declared a national disaster, requesting permission to release $100,000 from the Disaster Assistance Emergency Fund (DAEF).
