Philippine Red Cross was on high alert since the typhoon was anticipated. Volunteers were deployed to support pre-emptive evacuations while disaster response teams readied for immediate deployment.

Key Response Findings
Cash programming was highlighted as a successful intervention that was relatively rapid and delivered at scale
ERUs speed and standardization ensured IFRC operational excellence and consistency
IM mixed reviews with appreciation at global and field level but less appreciation at Zone and PRC level.
Key Organizational FindingsSignificant effort, good teamwork and dedication of highly professional IFRC staff were the foundation for IFRC response successes.
Inadequate IFRC field leadership capacity in initial response to meet contextual requirements. Key support functions understaffed and under prioritized at the beginning of the IFRC operation.Decision in initial response not to place IFRC operational coordination function in Tacloban was questionable.
On March 5, 2014, American Red Cross officially
transitioned from response to recovery efforts.
Recovery Assessments
Supported the joint recovery assessment with coordinators, a water and sanitation delegate, IM/GIS delegate and a Monitoring and Evaluation advisor.
Currently creating a bilateral program in support of the Philippine Red Cross and global Red Cross partners to transition into the recovery phase.
Planned ARC Recovery Activities
Deploy short-term delegates to begin recovery planning
Review Philippines Red Cross Plan of Action to determine support
Support national societies who were active in Philippines prior to Typhoon Haiyan
Set up ARC operations and logistics for new country office
