DTM Report 14 December 2012...A total of 43 sites were assessed for this period. Twenty three (23) of them remain open almost a week after the disaster and accommodate 2,972 families

SUMMARY To produce this initial report on the conditions of persons forced to flee to IDP sites following the onslaught of Typhoon Bopha, teams from IOM Cagayan de Oro as well as volunteers from the local governments of the affected areas were deployed. They reported that IDPs residing in evacuation centers in Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental are in need of essential non-food items according to the latest DTM assessment. 95% of the total assessed sites show that the displaced families are requesting hygiene kits, family kits, bed kits and medicines to improve their living conditions inside the IDP sites. Voluntary returns continue to occur with displaced families going back to their places of origin intending to rebuild their typhoon-damaged houses. Some of them pitch makeshift shelters in adjacent spaces. Such conditions pose health and protection risks to the families especially to the most vulnerable among them. The government and humanitarian agencies also continue to provide essential humanitarian aid including temporary shelter solutions for thousands of families rendered homeless by the disaster. Currently, there are 137,445 damaged houses in need of immediate repair which would facilitate safe returns, where possible, for the affected families..

BACKGROUND Typhoon Bopha affected a total of 5,474,673 persons in 30 provinces and 37 cities across Visayas and Mindanao in the early morning of 4 December 2012. The disaster has displaced over 800,0001 people with a peak of over 150,000 families residing in some 1,150 evacuation centers. At least 740 people have died and 890 are still missing. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has identified that most of the severely affected municipalities are in Compostela Valley, Agusan del Sur, and Davao Oriental provinces, which have never experienced this magnitude of a disaster. Furthermore, 133,588 houses have been damaged, including 57,142 totally-damaged houses and 76,446 partially-damaged houses. 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 provinces of Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental.

Displacement Tracking Matrix

http://philippines.humanitarianresponse.info/clusters/camp-coordination-management-bopha-data-tracking-matrix-report-1 Typhoon Bopha Response

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 ° 14 December 2012

A total of 43 sites were assessed for this period. Twenty three (23) of them remain open almost a week after the disaster and accommodate 2,972 families or 13,925 individuals. The families are residents of 14 barangays. The types of property on which these sites are located include public schools, open lots, covered courts, unused buildings and churches where IDPs live in shared classrooms, makeshift shelters and tents. While the number of sites has decreased significantly from 43 to 23 over the assessment days, there remain three sites each hosting more than 1,000 families with a combined population of 9,100. These are the Municipal Compound in Compostela Town with 2,657 IDPs and the Municipal Gym in New Bataan both in Compostela Valley as well as the Pichon Elementary School with 5,360 IDPs in Davao Oriental. Among the 8 sites located in schools are:

1. Nabunturan EC 2. C.M Recto

Magsaysay Elem. School EC

3. Linoan Elementary School EC

4. Monkayo Central School EC

5. Monkayo P-4 EC 6. Brgy. Union High

School EC 7. Compostela

National High School EC

8. Compostela City Central School EC

The above will need to be decamped first to avoid disruption of classes and exposure of school children to protection risks. The following graphs indicate the breakdown of males and females in the assessed IDP site population, as well as the age breakdown and the numbers of those with special vulnerabilities. (Please see the next page.) Among the latter, most numerous are pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

Most of the evacuees are housed in makeshift shelters, classrooms and tents. As of reporting period, no facilitated returns through the distribution of shelter repair kits have occurred yet. Majority of the sites did not meet minimum standards to the possible exacerbation of protection, health and security risks of the displaced population.

Additional shelter-related observations include: • 91% of all sites do not have safe communal cooking area • 78% of total sites are congested • 95% of total sites no electrical supply • 17 sites 73% are disaster prone • 20 sites or 86% pose protection or security risks for the

displaced population

There is a general lack of potable water in all the assessed sites. 95% of them have insufficient water points based on a 1:250 standard ratio. Sources for drinking water in the sites mostly come from pipelines, trucked water delivery and mineral water.

To obtain water for general use in 43% of sites, IDPs have to look outside the evacuation centers. In 83% of the sites, residents complain about the quality of drinking water.

Toilets registered insufficient based on a 1:40 standard ratio for evacuation centers in 13 sites or 56% of the total number of sites. 17 sites or 73% of the assessed sites reported no

separate toilets for men and women. Only 4 sites or 17% of total sites have sanitation facilities accessible for evacuees with special needs.3

Top health problems that had been reported inside eaaSuatoo Seoters are Souigs Soldss feaers ssHo diseases and cases of wound injury, amoebiasis and diarrhea.

Health service is reportedly available in 7 sites or 30% of the total assessed sites. It is also recorded that no psychosocial service has been conducted in any of the sites.

It is of importance to emphasize that the information gathered for this report was gathered by volunteers, evacuation center managers, IOM and DSWD support staff and local government volunteers that do not have technical experience in identifying protection issues. The information was gathered by asking yes or no questions to IDP leaders and community members within the sites. Further validation of the report findings is necessary to adequately inform actions related to this section.

Families are at risk to more protection issues as they face a longer period of displacement. For instance, only 7 out of 23 sites registered privacy partitions in bathing areas. Most sites reported that sanitation facilities or latrines and paths to these facilities are not well-lit. On the other hand, there are 15 sites that are provided with 24 hour security, 21 had women-friendly spaces, 21 had VAW/CP4 awareness raising sessions and 19 had child-friendly spaces. Friction with host communities is recorded in 8 sites which usually happen during food or goods distribution.

The biggest number of IDPs is being hosted in Pichon Elementary School with 5,360 displaced individuals. Aside from this 8 schools continue to host IDPs in Compostela Valley. It is also recorded that there are no learning spaces for children in most of the sites (78%). As classes have already resumed in Region 11, evacuation centers activated in schools are of special concern due to possible adverse effects on the student population.

Among the 8 sites located in schools are: 1. Nabunturan EC 2. C.M Recto Magsaysay Elem.
