DAMAGE ASSESSMENT TEAM



a. Internal logistics 5% calamity fund

b. External Logistics provincial, regional and national agencies

ngos/private donors supportc. Manpower support

Barangay information officers and BDRRMC Barangay volunteer networks for rescue, relief and

evacuation (1040 volunteers = 26 barangays x 40 volunteers) Municipal volunteer network to support field operations

(25 MDRRMC officers + 120 municipal volunteers)



1. The flood forecasting and weather monitor needs a level of

technical improvisation2. The MDRRMC core officers are immediately mobilizable, present

and ready to act3. The MDRRMC plan of operations must allow for flexible and

customized responses to changing situations4. Hotline systems are operational 24 hours along with regular

official public reporting/updating5. Direct lines of communication to heads of agencies including

department secretaries is highly valued6. Hygiene and sanitation in evacuation centers needs 24 hour

maintenance7. Rescue boats are the only means of accessing northern villages8. Two rounds of relief is basic given the minimum two week

duration of area flooding. Relief operations require security

personnel to maintain discipline



9. Prioritization system of affected areas including number of

affected families is predefined and should be strictlyobserved for relief distribution

10. Disease information in evacuation centers is a keyinstrument for planning medical support services

11. Organized and spontaneous volunteerism makes life easy12. Positive media calls attention from donors and private

contributors13. Volume of solid waste after the flood is massive14. Aid for economic sector recovery is slow. Public

infrastructure rehabilitation is not within the financialcapability of the LGU

15. The DSWD cash for work and emergency assistanceprograms are central to the recovery
