Historique

In the early morning of 08 November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, locally known as Yolanda, made its first landfall over Guiuan, Eastern Samar, following a north western trajectory. Passing over several provinces in Visayas and nearby Luzon and making landfall at least six times, the typhoon brought maximum sustained winds of 215 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 250 kph, leaving a trail of totally damaged houses, roads and important infrastructure. Winds brought by the typhoon were extremely powerful causing the massive destruction of structures lying in its path. The typhoon likewise occasioned a storm surge in coastal areas that reached up to as high as 20 feet, causing deaths and bringing about enormous quantities of debris. Over 10 million people have been affected by the disaster, with at least 3,982 deaths based on data from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) as of 19 November 2013.

As the Early Recovery co-lead, UNDP will implement a project to support local authorities and disaster-affected communities in clearing and managing debris brought about by Typhoon Haiyan, ensuring the continued entry of critical humanitarian assistance and other life-saving services to affected communities and reducing threats to lives and health risks of residents. The project will focus on the hardest hit municipalities and cities by providing “stop gap” support to the concerned local government units (LGU) and creating immediate temporary employment opportunities for women and men through their participation in cash-for-work activities over a 6-month period. Country office and field-based personnel will be engaged by UNDP to assist in the implementation.
