Introduction

During the last week of June, the Director of OEEM and two staff engineers from the Department of Transportation, Communication & Infrastructure, traveled to Yap State to meet with the Governor’s office and Yap State Department of Education staff to discuss the FSM National Government’s continued support for their ongoing typhoon relief efforts. The goal and mission of this endeavor was to primarily identify schools with relatively minor damages that may be repaired in a timely manner for the beginning of the next school year with the funding, technical and possible logistical assistance of the FSM National Government. For the purpose of this report and so as not to exclude any schools in need, the facilities requiring more extensive repairs are also included for future consideration. In addition to the meetings with State officials, the engineers conducted school inspections in Ulithi Atoll. This report is a compilation of the inspections conducted in June 2015 as well as those assessments performed in April 2015. Please reference the report titled, ‘Typhoon Maysak Preliminary Storm Damage Assessments of Critical Infrastructure’ , for additional support information.

Recommendations

The Ulithi Atoll was impacted heavily by Typhoon Maysak, which was categorized as a ‘super typhoon’ while passing through the State of Yap. The entire Outer Islands High School on Falalop Island was essentially destroyed. Currently there are no buildings on the school campus with the capacity to conduct classes due to the serious damages every building endured. Upon inspection, three buildings have been identified that can more readily be repaired within the short timeframe before the next semester begins. The three buildings are the Construction, Mechanical and Electrical classroom facilities. Each of these buildings would provide three classrooms for a total of nine classrooms. The Yap State Department of Education has indicated that the high school is top priority for repairs. Therefore, it is recommended to provide materials and tools for the community volunteers in Ulithi to repair these three buildings in an effort to allow students to begin school as scheduled.

The main 6-classroom building of the high school is the highest priority for the Department of Education, however, due to the extensive damages sustained by this building, it is determined the assistance of a skilled contractor is necessary. The time required for this effort may delay the repairs until after the start of the school year. It is recommended to assist with the procurement of materials.

The following Table 1 is a summary of damages and cost estimates for the Outer Islands High School for temporary repairs of the three buildings designated for immediate assistance. All remaining buildings requiring repairs may be provided with materials as funding allows and are summarized in Table 2. Table 1 – Outer Islands High School, Falalop Island:

Name of Building Summary of Damages Cost Estimate (approximate)

Construction Building Missing roof, damaged windows/frames and partitions; interior damage

Electrical Building Missing roof; interior damage $36,376.63

Mechanical Building Missing roof, damaged windows/frames and partitions; interior damage

In addition to the Outer Islands High School, the elementary schools and ECE facilities on the islands of Mogmog, Asor and Falalop all require repair assistance. The Falalop Elementary School will need minor repairs to the roof of the classroom/office building. The second classroom building is completely destroyed and therefore cannot reasonably be rebuilt in the short timeframe before school begins. The third building will require a complete new roof and repair to the windows, doors and electrical works.

Mogmog Elementary School requires mainly interior repairs to the partitions and ceiling as well as a small hole in a side panel of the building. Gutters will be needed to provide rainwater conveyance to the school rainwater cat chment tank. During repair work, the roof should be inspected for potential leaks. The ECE facility requires the entire roof to be replaced and corresponding interior upgrades.

Asor Elementary School is in dire need of a total rehabilitation of the structure. The only portions that can be salvaged are the concrete foundation and block walls just below the windows. Although the building suffered mainly roof damage during the typhoon, the wooden components of the current building are rotting and termite ridden and therefore temporary repairs will not provide the intended relief for the cost involved. It is recommended to provide temporary classrooms and rebuild the school to a more permanent condition as time and funding permits.

Based on site inspections and data from the Department of Education, it is recommended to provide materials and tools for the community volunteers in Ulithi to repair these buildings in an effort to allow students to attend classes on schedule. Table 2 summarizes the damages and cost estimates for all school facilities requiring assistance. Facilities designated with an asterisk ( * ) were assessed and estimated by the Yap State Department of Education.

Conclusions – A Way Forward The FSM National Government wishes to assist in the typhoon recovery effort sustained from Typhoon Maysak. In an effort to provide immediate support and assistance to those public facilities in need of repairs, the Department of Transportation, Communication & Infrastructure (TC&I) should work in conjunction with the Office of Emergency and Environmental Management (OEEM) to discuss logical procedures to move forward and to arrange the procurement of materials recommended in this report. The total estimated cost of repairs for every facility damaged by Typhoon Maysak within the Ulithi Atoll will amount to approximately $550,000. Per the recommendations in this report, however, there are three building at the Outer Islands High School that can feasibly be repaired quickly and it is urged to begin procurement of materials immediately. The total materials and tools costs for these three buildings are approximately $150,000. Once the FSM National Government obtains these materials, they would be delivered by one of the following transportation options; the Yap State cargo ship, national government marine vessel or private volunteer boats to the appropriate islands and facilities. Under TC&I and/or Yap State Department of Education supervision, local volunteers will be requested to assist with the repairs to the schools. The State of Yap and local island officials of the Ulithi Atoll have already committed volunteer community labor resources to rebuilding the schools. Due to the extent of damages to specific facilities, it will be more beneficial, efficient and safer to hire a skilled local contractor to repair these particular structures. The FSM National Government would still procure the required materials, however. TC&I is available for further assistance for the current mission to repair schools and other facilities damaged by Typhoon Maysak. We stand ready to provide our expertise and assistance as required in light of the pending new school year.
