In the past days, we have ourselves dealt with the logistics of going to the field. Starting from getting vaccinations and booking tickets, to concretely planning our research mission.
Google Crisis Map for Haiyan, December 03 2013
A first look at the crisis map shows that it is even difficult to get an overview about the major centers and command posts. According to the last UN-OCHA report (published December 3 2013) still more than 200,000 people live in over 1,000 evacuation centres – impossible to visit them all. Coordination hubs were established in Tacloban City, Roxas City, Cebu City, Borongan, Guiuan and Ormoc, and the list of agencies currently working in the Philippines on about 2,000 ongoing or planned projects is more than ten pages long in the OCHA Summary of Response activities of Nov 29, 2013.
For us, this means that we will need to carefully prepare our travels in order to explore the most important problems and issues in the response to Haiyan. We are establishing a portfolio of different authorities and agencies – from the UN-agencies to small and fast response teams to achieve our goals.
