1. Overall Yolanda Response in ADB

Overview of Typhoon Yolanda

• Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) hit the central part of the Philippines on November 8 2013.

• Wind speeds estimated at 315 km/h (195 mph).

• As of January 10, 2014, 6,190 reported dead, 1,785 still missing.

• 3.4 million family / 16 million persons affected.• 1.1 million houses damaged.

Damage Assessment -> Plan

• Multi-Cluster/Sector Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA)

• Reconstruction Assistance on Yolanda (RAY) based on Damage and Loss Assessment (DaLA)

16

Multi-Cluster/Sector Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA)

• Released on November 25, 2013 lead by UN OCHA with 45 organizations including ADB.

• Methodology: Questionnaire and Sampling, Review of Government data source.

• Rapid Assessment– Status of affected people, Damage and access to basic services

such as Shelter, Water, sanitation and hygiene, Health, Livelihoods and Agriculture, Mass communication, Education, Displacement Management, Protection.

– “Urgent and extensive shelter requirements”• With 515,179 houses totally destroyed and 551,546 partially damaged

in the affected areas– “The most urgent needs are to replant the damaged rice and corn

fields during present planting season.”

17

Reconstruction Assistance on Yolanda (RAY)

• Government’s strategic plan for recovery and reconstruction prepared with the support of international partners including ADB, released on December 16, 2013.

• Section III presents an estimate of the overall economic impact (damage and loss assessment (DaLA)), as well as an initial calculation of overall recovery and reconstruction needs.

18

Damage and Loss Assessment (DaLA)

• Total damage: about US$12.9 billion.• Usually takes 6 weeks, completed quickly to

meet the deadline of 2013 government budget mobilization.

• Methodology: Handbook for Estimating the Socio-Economic and Environmental Effects of Disasters. United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, 2003.

• Conducted using the best available data.

19

Damage and Loss Assessment (DaLA)

• Targets– Infrastructure sector: Roads, Bridges, Flood control

and government buildings, Ports, Airports, Electricity, Water Supply and Sanitation.

– Economic Sector: Agriculture (Lands), Livestock, Fisheries, and Food Security, Trade, Industry, Services

– Social Sector: Education (Schools), Health (Hospitals) and Nutrition, Housing and Shelters

– Cross Sectoral: Local government and community infrastructure, Social impacts, Gender, Environment

ADB

22

1) Needs

• Assessment Phase– Damage assessment for (i) designing the loan

and grants, and (ii) making MIRA and DaLA.• Number/area of damaged infrastructure/lands by

its type• Location/spatial distribution of the damaged

infrastructure/lands

• Implementation phase (Reconstruction)– Prioritization of reconstruction

• Distribution of damages• Combination with GIS analyses

23

2) What ADB has done• Accessed International Disaster Charter,

Sentinel Asia and other available EO information and shared in the Yolanda Response Team in ADB.

• Counted damaged infrastructure based on damaged infrastructure map based-on satellite imagery and basic GIS data from Open Street Map (OSM).

• Identified of number of damaged houses in 40 m buffer zone from the coast line for understanding the magnitude of the replacement.

• Asked satellite providers to provide proposal for damage assessment.

Observation from the initial results

• Number of damaged houses for Tacloban city from the results was 20166 / 33351 (60%)

• Number of damaged houses for Tacloban city reported in NDRRMC update was;– 382 for 11/10 to 11/21– 58,823 (12,270(Totally), 46,553(Partially))

for 11/21 to 12/20Satellite-based assessment has advantage for the quick assessment until field data is available

3) Potential applications

• Damage assessment using agricultural lands using satellite data.

• Damage assessment for the infrastructure for other affected areas.

32

3. Lessons Learned

33

Lessons Learned

<Challenges for information creation>1) Lack of basic GIS dataset for overlay with

satellite-based damaged infrastructure maps2) Difficulty to access to high-res. satellite

imagery for damage assessment purposes3) Lack of coordination in data analysis

contribution

<Challenges for information utilization>4) The numbers based on satellite data can’t be

used in official reports easily

1) Lack of basic GIS data

35

1) Lack of basic GIS data

• Difficult to get basic GIS data from the government agencies after the disaster.– Should make mechanism to prepare such GIS

dataset for sharing with international partners before disasters.

• Lack of necessary data in the government.– Support to prepare data.– Making use of Open Street Map (Crowd source) data.

36

Potential collaboration with OSM

• Open Street Map is volunteer-based project to create free editable map of the world.

• Humanitarian OSM team has started making base map around the affected area from Nov. 6 (Before the Typhoon hit.)

• OSM maps have building attribution checked by the local volunteers.

• The World Bank has started project in the Philippines to support the local government unit to make use of OSM maps for their operation.

37

2) Availability of High Res. Satellite data for damage

assessment • The coverage of satellite imagery provided

through the International Charter and Sentinel Asia was not enough for the whole affected area.– More coordination in data providers.– Widen the scope of free data sharing.– Establishment of mechanism to purchase satellite

data for the whole affected area soon after disaster happens.

• The window that DAN can access the data from international charter was too short.

38

Data availability was limited….

39

3) Lack of coordination for data analyses

• It was difficult to know what geospatial processing other agencies were conducting, which made ADB’s decision making much slower to decide where and what to focus.– More coordination in international

community during disaster events.

40

4) How to make use of satellite-based

information • It is difficult to change official

numbers reported from fields or responsible local government agencies at the higher level.– It is important to consider how to

make use of satellite-based information at the level of agencies which create numbers as initial data source.

41

Conclusion

• EO is useful in the event of disaster not only for initial rescue purposes, but also for the quick damage assessment for the government and donors to mobilize funds and decide budget allocation.

• However, it is still underutilized for this purpose. ADB would like to discuss how to realize this with the international partners.
