15

Request/Needs‐Driven Approach. Close Coordination with Philippines Govt. Wide range of assistances from funding, providing relief items and rice, to dispatching personnel. Full‐cast Diplomacy. Seamless transition from emergency relief to early recovery.

Good Practices

slide-16
SLIDE 16

16

Smooth hand‐over to local authorities. Security measures offered by Philippine National Police. Cooperation by military aircraft to civilian medical team. Information exchange with other stakeholders through cluster meetings. Caring women and girls in special needs.

Good Practices

slide-17
SLIDE 17

17

Security issues

  • e.g., 1st batch of Medical Team was confused by fluctuate security

information at initial stage. Collecting valid information, making appropriate assessment and rapid sound judgment were required.

Logistic issues

  • e.g., 1st batch of Medical Team had difficulties from damaged

transportation means and communication network as well as lack

  • f fuels in devastated areas at initial stage.

Coordination issues

  • Closer coordination and cooperation among civilian teams, SDF,

UN, and civil societies for joint operation for consistent arrangement both in Manila and affected areas.

Challenges

slide-18
SLIDE 18

18

Information sharing on security and logistics issues at initial stage among stakeholders would be helpful. Multilateral Civil‐Military coordination facilitated by OCHA in affected areas is helpful. Regular dialogues among JDR Teams, Foreign Civil and Military Teams and UNs in peace time are helpful for closer contact and coordination at emergency crisis. Learning international coordination system and regional framework through active participations to international and regional exercises such as INSARAG FTX/TTX, ARF DiREx is useful.
