CURRENT SITUATION OVERVIEW On the tenth month since the TS Washi emergency, only 255 families remain in 3 evacuation centers. The CCCM cluster continues to work towards more humane living conditions for these families. 2,017 households now reside in thirty one (31) transitory sites. To date, some 2,900 of the most vulnerable IDP households have been relocated to permanent shelters. Since the last reporting period, 16 households have ceased to be displaced leaving 2,272 still residing in 34 IDP sites. Furthermore, one evacuation center closed and five new transitional sites, including two in unused buildings, opened since the last report. This represents a drop of 50 sites and 19,051 families since the peak reported on 14 January 2012. As the achievement of “zero-ECs” nears, the CCCM cluster can now devote greater attention on facilitating permanent shelter assistance for those who continue to be displaced and on complete handover of CCCM responsibilities to local stakeholders. Its focus is now on the permanent shelter beneficiary validation process and CCCM trainings for local camp management agencies.

BACKGROUND Tropical Storm Sendong (International Name: Washi) struck the northeastern coast of Mindanao on 16 December 2011, dumping over 142 millimeters of rain in just 12 hours. This triggered deadly flash floods from three major rivers, which killed and displaced thousands. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) in its latest report estimates that 117,665 families or 1,136,222 persons have been affected in 13 provinces, and that 48,499 homes have been totally or partially damaged. At the height of the disaster, over 400,000 persons were displaced and forced to reside in evacuation centers and sought shelter with host families. The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) was rolled out by the Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster (CCCM), co-led by DSWD and IOM, to support the on-going delivery of assistance to the population who continue to live in the different evacuation centers in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan.

HIGHLIGHTS • The IDP site population decreased by 308 persons and dropped by 16

households. These many ceased to be displaced. • Continuing conversions of evacuation centers into transitory sites by the

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) resulted in the opening of one new amakan shelter sites.

• IOM opened two alternative transitory sites in Cagayan de Oro, namely the Nazareth ATS and the Macanhan DSWD-RSCC. The latter was closed for renovation during the last reporting period.

• One evacuation center (Tibasak Covered Court in Cagayan de Oro) closed since the last report. Only 962 persons or 255 families continue to live in 3 evacuation centers in Iligan.

• The total population in 34 currently operational IDP sites is 9,981 individuals or 2,272 households.

The Displacement Tracking Matrix or DTM is an Excel based tool used by the Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster (CCCM) co-led by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to gather data on the conditions of displacement in evacuation centres to better inform humanitarian response. In the Philippines, this tool was first rolled-out at the height of the Typhoon Ketsana response in 2009 and the floods in Central Mindanao in 2011.

Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Report ° 12 October 2012

IDP Population There are a total of 9,981 displaced persons or 2,272 displaced households living in 34 IDP sites, 16 in Iligan and 18 in Cagayan de Oro. The resident population decreased by 308 persons and dropped by 16 households since the last report. These families have ceased to be displaced as they have found durable solutions through permanent relocation or assisted return. The current female to male ratio of 49%:51% is consistent with previous reporting periods and so is the age breakdown with adults at 48% and minors and elderly at 52%. Among the vulnerable persons in the population, most numerous by far are lactating mothers, numbering 517. The next most significant vulnerable groups are pregnant women, counting 171, and 108 persons with physical disabilities.

IDP Sites Immediately after the disaster, the majority of those who were forced to leave their homes transferred to evacuation centers. These were set up in available public properties including government facilities, public schools and open spaces. To date, only 3 of the peak 84 evacuation centers are still open and host only 255 households or 2,017 individuals. These are Siao Shelter Box Tent City, Luinab Gym and IBJT Tent City in Iligan. One evacuation center closed since the last report, namely Tibasak Covered Court. Its residents moved to the newly-opened Nazareth ATS. In addition, 5 transitional sites (3 in Cagayan de Oro, namely Calaanan 5 Bunkhouse Site, Macanhan DSWD-RSCC ATS and Nazareth ATS; and 2 in Iligan, namely ATI Bunkhouse Site and Palao Amakan Site) opened.

The Calaanan 5 and ATI bunkhouses built by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) were previously empty but now have new residents. Nazareth ATS and Macanhan DSWD RSCC were unused buildings refurbished by IOM. Lastly, the Palao Transitional Site was developed by the Catholic Relief Services (CRS).

Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Report ° 12 October 2012

There is a variety of types of shelters that the site residents utilize. In the previous report, the majority, numbering 414 households lived in tents and makeshift shelters which were already in advanced stages of disrepair from long-term use and exposure. To date, the population enduring this type of dwelling has shrunk to 198, all in Iligan, due to the efforts of the CCCM cluster to expedite the transfer of displaced families back to their original homes, into permanent shelters or into transitory shelters. The cluster also continues to facilitate, as available resources allow, for the maintenance of the tents and makeshift shelters still in use. Fifty seven (57) households are currently billeted in the Luinab Gym in Iligan with privacy partitions built there as site upgrades. These are slightly better dwellings than tents and makeshift shelters but they also wear down quickly and the property on which they stand cannot be made available indefinitely as they have other intended purposes. The CCCM cluster’s efforts have also resulted in the shrinkage of the number of families in such dwellings. The majority of the IDP site population (1,877 households) now lives in transitional shelters with plywood or “amakan” walling and galvanized iron roofing. These can last at least six months while the occupants await permanent relocation. The three new transitional shelter sites that opened this period are the Calaanan 5 Bunkhouse Site in Cagayan de Oro and the

ATI Bunkhouse Site and Palao Amakan Site in Iligan. The utilization of otherwise unused buildings as transitional shelters continued this period. Four such sites are now operational – namely, the AECID building, built by the Spanish agency specifically for such use, the Macanhan DSWD-RSCC, the Nazareth ATS and the Agong ATS all in Canitoan Cagayan de Oro; and the Agricultural Training Institute building in Hinaplanon, Iligan. The latter three were refurbished by IOM. In total, these structures now provide more durable shelter for 140 displaced households awaiting permanent relocation. Given the rapid movement of IDP evacuation center residents to transitional or permanent shelters or from transitional to permanent shelters, crowding is no longer a problem for the site population. A few issues, however, are currently being addressed by the CCCM cluster through direct assistance or referral to other agencies. These are need for communal kitchens in eight sites and lack of electrification in six sites. These are particular concerns for the new transitional sites in Iligan. Aside from these, the expiration of the lease contracts of privately-owned properties used as transitional sites, particularly those concerning the CRS amakan houses, is fast approaching. The processing of the affected IDP families for permanent relocation, as well as planning for the welfare of those who will not yet be awarded houses, needs to be completed before the said expiration. The CCCM cluster is also addressing this possible problem.

The DSWD is gradually ceasing food distributons to tte IDP sites. Food security measures are currently being sought by the CCCM cluster for this reason.

Besides this concern, the cluster may also explore the areas of supplementary feeding and malnutriton screening for possible interventonss

Twelve sites reported not having enough water for general use and six sites have problems with drinking water quality. Since the large-scale WASH providers have already handed over to local agencies,

alternatves to trucking water into the sites are needed. Alttougt some local agencies stll tave ater deliveredd many are also exploring installaton or repair of hand pumps and deep wells partcularly in tte transit sites.

Other WASH concerns cited include mosquito and drainage problems, lack of garbage bins, desludging of septc tanns and declogging of toiletss esidents also request the provision of cleaning and hygiene kits. The cluster has included these in a list of remaining material needs and is currently solicitng assistance from otter agencies.

The most prevalent health problems at the sites are cougtd coldsd flud feverd snin diseases and atery diarrhoea. Health assistance is available for the residents since most of the sites are located within a reasonable distance from health centers or private clinics.

The CCCM cluster in Iligan implements a system they call “Health Watch” in which IDP health monitors are trained to detect health problems and relay them to their camp managers for referral to health agencies.

Tte sites tave a ide array of protecton and security facilites and services o ing to tte presence and interventons of C

support personnel. The new transit sites in Iligan though request greater police presence.

Tte protecton-related cases reported include alcohol or drug abuse, tensions within the site community, tensions with host community, domestc violence and goods or food exctanged for sex. These incidents have been kept at such a minimum due partly to tte insttuton of site security volunteers under tte site management commitees organized by the residents themselves. The CCCM cluster supports these security measures through tte provision of trainingd essental eeuipment and supplies.

The monitoring and maintenance of tte conditons at the IDP sites according to natonal and global humanitarian standards have been done with remarkable effectveness and eeciency so ttat no serious further suffering ould be experienced by tte site populaton due to tteir displacements Tte C cluster accomplisted ttis ttrougt tte identicaton and capacitaton of site community leaders ttrougt site management commiteess Ttese commitees toon up the task of communicatng tte prevailing needs ittin the sites to their camp managers who in turn coordinated with concerned agencies through the CCCM cluster for proper acton on tte identied needss

Partcularly critcal in tte effectve improvement of tte residents’ living conditons is tte systemattaton of ofP movement tereby site residents are prioritted over otter displaced populatons itt different levels of vulnerability so ttat ttey are irst to be transferred to permanent or transitory sites as these become available. Tte cluster’s efforts tave also begun to move to ards full tandover of site administraton and management responsibilites to local C stanetolderss Their capacites are being built up ttrougt training workshops, three of which have already been held in bott cites. More workshops are being organized for Iligan, including one for IDP leaders.

There are no more evacuaton centers in Cagayan de Oro tile only ttree remain in oligan tostng only 255 families. This is due to tte priorittaton of their residents for transfer to transitonal or permanent shelters as advocated by the CCCM cluster. Also critcal in this development is the availability of appropriate land and buildings which the CCCM cluster also supports. Simultaneously, the critcal needs and welfare of the IDP site populaton are being monitored and addressed. Pressing issues, such as repair and reinforcement of

shelters, water supply, declogging of toilets and desludging of septc tanns, ill contnue to be addressed by tte cluster in coordinaton itt tte concerned agencies. on additond as durable solutons in terms of shelter are being ensured, the same are being sought for other cluster concerns. Food security in transitory sites and even in the permanent sites, as well as the availability of basic social services there are now of primary importance.
