9. UNDAC ASSESSMENT
TACLOBAN CITY
•
•
The UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team in
Tacloban City reported that local government officials observed a
mass grave in one area of the city.
•
On 11 November, the UN mobilized the Emergency Situations
Ministry of the Russian Federation (EMERCOM) to provide a
helicopter that can be used for assessments and staff transport.
EMERCOM will also provide emergency runway lights, power
generators and communication support equipment.
•
Access remains a significant barrier. Roundtrip travel on the 11
kilometer road that connects the airport to the city currently
takes about six hours; it is the only cleared road according to
UNDAC.
•
There are 13 evacuation centers in Tacloban City hosting about
15,000 people with the largest center (Rizal Elementary School)
serving 5,000 people. People in the evacuation centers
expressed desire to return home as long as they are provided
with repair materials and emergency shelter to protect them
from the expected rains.
In the outskirts of Tacloblan City, there is still no food,
no water and no electricity.
The airport’s air traffic control and fuel storage facility were
damaged. Only C-130 military planes are able to operate.
•
•
Water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), food, medicine, shelter,
debris clearance, logistics and communications are immediate
priorities in Tacloban City according to the Government. Assets
to deliver relief goods are limited.
•
Communities in the coastal areas are reluctant to return
due to the presence of dead bodies.
Survivors assess the damage after super Typhoon Haiyan battered
Tacloban city, central Philippines, Nov. 9, 2013. (VOA)
Note: Limited access to impacted areas due to debris is
significantly limiting the type and quality of damage
information available. It is also limiting the assistance
that can be made available.
